SanDisk has released the Extreme II series SSD which we benchmark and review. These SSDs are made 90% by SanDisk themselves including the PCB design and the NAND flash memory. The end result is a blazing fast SSD series that even surprised us when it comes to raw read performance. The SSD series has been developed alongside a Marvel controller tied to SanDisk NAND flash memory, it is amongst the fastest drives we have ever tested.

Wow, they look really good!
A bit let down on write speed, but as you said, at that speed it matters little for most uses, and read speeds are top notch.

I'm sorry if I missed an explanation, but why exactly does the 120GB struggle with write speeds?

Because 1/2 the output elements gives half the bandwidth.
There is almost no difference between 240GB and 480GB because the bus is already saturated at 240GB.

Aha, I figured that was what it was, but wasn't sure. I don't remember seeing other 120's do so heavily so that's why I asked.
