One area where it does appear SanDisk skimped out a bit was the accessory package. When we opened up our straight form the factory drive it came with nothing, no adapter bracket and no backup or cloning software. While SanDisk does give you a 3 year warranty, I would be more comfortable if that were set at 5 years especially with the rigorous testing they put their drives through. For most of you the accessories won’t matter, you will most likely purchase the drive and throw it in your pc and off you go. I have no doubts this drive has what you are looking for with boot times quicker than a fox ( we pulled a 17s reboot from desktop), and great sustained performance.

     When we previously took a look at the new Plextor M3S drive I was a bit excited to see this 24nm NAND. SanDisk has taken it to the next level pairing it up with the Sandforce SF-2281. Simply put this is the fastest drive I have ever had the pleasure of testing,and while it took me countless hours to figure out the issues I was having, and correct them there is no doubt in my mind the SanDisk Extreme will make anyone purchasing extremely happy. Comparing it to the Vertex 3 as I like to do, this could be the drive to take its place as its performance tops any single drive on the market today while it's price keeps it in the mainstream market.
