Review: SanDisk Extreme SSD (240GB)

Benchmark: Iometer

Our intensive Iometer benchmark showers the drives with a random spread of 4KB transfers at a high queue depth of 32. This is the test that brings many SSDs to their knees, but not SanDisk's 240GB Extreme; it happily gobbles up the bombardment at a rate of over 70,000 input/output operations per second.

We consider anything that scores over 10,000 to be great for the everyday home user, and by that rationale the 240GB Extreme can be described as different class.
