Can anyone rate the SanDisk Ultra II?

Can anyone give their experience with this SSD? Reviews look great, but always good to hear the communities opinion.

I use the lowest end SSD that sandisk make - the SSD Plus 120GB.

Same as all other SSDs I have used. Super fast and not failed.

Wouldn't think there is anything wrong with the Ultra II

OK thanks. Just bought a 1TB (960GB) for a ridiculously cheap deal. Sadly it wasn't on OCUK.

Saw that deal. £145 is cracking price for 1TB.

That is indeed a good deal. That's about what I payed for my 120gb Corsair Force3, It's amazing how fast they are dropping in price. I wonder if it's because the sata3 bus has been saturated for so long the only thing to focus on has been cost efficiency. Sata express looks like a fail to me. M.2 looks like the only real option for performance drives (OS, editing etc). Sata3 is still great for normal storage and mid range SSDs. It seems correct that OS and storage take different paths from this point on.

Picked up one of the 960GB Sandisks as well a few weeks ago on that deal. Its my new games drive

I've installed a few SSD PLUS disks from SanDisk and not had issues. Not as quick as my personal Samsung however but from a conventional hard drive massive improvement

I had a 480GB Ultra II fail on me after 3 weeks use,needed a re-image then failed again a week later.
I umm'd and ahh'd a bit thinking money back or try another one and decided to do an exchange so I'm waiting for the new one to arrive now.
The controller on that drive is used on tons of other drives too so I'm hoping I just had a bit of bad luck.

I had a Crucial fail on me as well but that was a good three years ago.

I have had a Sandisk Ultra I 240GB for two or more years as my C: drive, no issues.

Have a 240 ultra II for a out 6 months. Works lovely and good to average speeds.

Was a great deal... I picked up two

Really? I find them much closer to Kingston speeds than Samsung.

Not that that is bad or anything... just they're noticeably slower in the random writes department... than even my 256GB Samsung 830.

I've had two OCZs fail on me... a while ago too... Vertex 2 era... haven't had one drop since then.

I'm waiting for the new Ultra II to arrive now,forgot how tedious that can be...
