SanDisk Ultra Plus 256GB SSD Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell March 11, 2013 Featured Announcement, SSD Drives

CrystalDiskmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0.1 x64.

Overall performance is excellent, achieving a sequential read speed of 504.5MB/s and a maximum sequential write speed of 447 MB/s. 4KQD32 performance falls just above half way in the chart.

When we switch to the 0x00 test the performance of the drive holds at pretty much the same level, which is an excellent result.

Above, some included compares from other leading solid state drives which we have reviewed in the last year.

Senior Intel Engineer Explains the Radical Shift in CPU Design

When Intel launched Lunar Lake (Core Ultra 200V) in 2024 we gave you the technical details and followed up with a review of the Asus Zenbook S 14 which has incredible battery life. In the following month we discussed Intel Arrow Lake (Core Ultra 200S) and how we considered it was unfit for review in a situation that was not resolved until February 2025. On the one hand we have Lunar Lake which we like, while on the other hand we have Arrow Lake which is troubled, yet both families of processors run on Lion Cove P-cores and Skymont E-cores and have a huge amount in common.

    There are faster drives than this, but its quite good with both data times (compress/incompress).

    I would stay away from 2281 controller drives.
