We review the all new Sandisk Extreme II 120 - 240 and 480 GB SSDs. Fast an affordable seems to be what SanDisk is aiming for. These SSDs are made 90% by SanDisk themselves including the PCB design and the NAND flash memory. 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.

I just checked my SSD and found indexing was enabled. Thanks for the heads-up!
Should compression be enabled? It isn't on mine.
Is it safe to use Disk Cleanup?
I've used several different brands of SSD's, including SanDisk, and have never actually sensed any difference in their operating speeds.
It kind of makes me wonder why anyone except reviewers benchmark their drives.
Unless, of course, you think something is wrong with one.
Even then I'd be more interested in copying the info to another drive before I wasted any time benchmarking it.
Right?

Hi!

last Friday I install my first SSD on my PC and activate de ACHI mode was a nightmare.

After 3 hours of installation (Win7-Win8), many BSOD because AHCI... I found the correct regedit code to activate AHCI on Win8:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\storahci\"

Hope help somebody!.
