SanDisk Ultra Plus 256GB Solid State Drive Review

Posted on 2013-02-21 08:42:41 by Thomas De Maesschalck

"The SanDisk Ultra Plus SSD is a welcome change from the myriad of "SandForce Driven" SSDs on the market today. This ultra-slim drive combines Marvell's 88SS9175 controller with SanDisk's own 19nm eX2 ABL MLC NAND flash to deliver a fast, responsive computing experience at an affordable price. In our sequential read and write tests, the Ultra Plus was able to read at speeds as high as 531 MB/s and write at speeds in excess of 430 MB/s. It also performed very well when doing random reads, but lagged behind the other drives in our random write tests, producing only 39,000 IOPS. This may be a deal breaker for some, but the Ultra Plus is still a huge improvement over traditional hard drives and a worthy upgrade for older notebook and desktop computers."
