Since our SSD review benchmark results are presented in alphabetical order, first up on the list are results from one of our favorite benchmarking programs, AIDA64 Extreme Engineer. Just to note, AIDA64 Extreme Engineer is a full synthetic benchmark. Unlike full synthetic motor oil, this usually does not always carry a good connotation. While it is not a representation of real life performance (Such as how fast Photoshop opens), it does provide valuable insight into performance between different drives and different controllers. As you can see in our graphs above, the SanDisk Extreme PRO 480GB came in fairly close to its predecessor. Keep in mind the Extreme II 240GB took home some of the best results last year for a single SATA drive. With a linear read speed of 527MB/s, the Extreme PRO 480GB is marginally slower than the previous record of 540.7MB/s. The tested random access time is also 0.01ms higher, but I can speak will full confidence you will not see any difference in real life applications.
