The Ultra is a budget SSD from Sandisk, and in its latest guise has certainly delivered value. A street price of around $120 for the 240GB model sets it as just about the cheapest SSD of that capacity in Australia. Even Crucial's new value M100 can't...

While manufacturers have announced larger capacity SSDs (2TB and more), for storing a lot of files, a mechanical HDD is still a much more affordable option. This looks set to change in the future though, as SSD production volume increases lead to lower...

Sandisk's Ultra II SSD is a generally pretty reasonable performer, with good-enough write and read transfer speeds that are largely comparable with other entry-level and mid-range solid state drives. It, as you should expect, blows away any regular...

The SanDisk Ultra II SSD comes in a variety of sizes that include 120GB, 240GB (reviewed), 480GB and 960GB which although isn't the fast drive on the market, is relatively quite well priced compared to its competitors. The drive also comes with a 3-year...
