Why SanDisk Extreme II SSD?
It’s simple. No stall. No stutter. No crash and burn. Just speed.
Sustainable High Performance
- Load and run graphics-intensive applications and games lightning fast (video, 3D, CAD, and hi res photos)
- Unique tiered caching across three storage layers optimizes write performance and responsiveness
What does sustainable high performance mean?
The performance numbers SanDisk makes public reflect the speed SanDisk Extreme II SSD maintains over time with sustained heavy use, not the peak it achieved for only a few seconds. This translates into years of lightning fast gaming and multimedia, measured as MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of 2 million hours.
Tech Stuff
