SanDisk Ultra II (240GB) SSD Review
by Kristian Vättö on September 16, 2014 2:00 PM ESTPower Consumption
As I mentioned on page one, the Ultra II does not support DevSleep, but it does support slumber power. SanDisk decided against DevSleep support based on the fact that there are only a handful of systems that support DevSleep and most of them are already equipped with M.2 SSDs. In other words, DevSleep is not a feature that adds value to the aftermarket buyer because it will not be supported by the device anyway.
Overall the Ultra II has great power characteristics. The slumber power is low (although not the lowest) and under load the Ultra II is very efficient and stays at about 2W.

Name one, that competes with mx100 price wise.milli - Monday, September 22, 2014 - link

One more confirmation to why the 256GB MX100 felt so sluggish to me during preparation/installation.

I read this http://techreport.com/review/26905/ocz-arc-100-sol...TR compares MX100 with OCZ ARC and comments that ARC is better at the same (or close) price....

MX100 all the time. I do not trust TLC reliability, although Sandisk did a good job on this unit.Notmyusualid - Wednesday, September 17, 2014 - link
I concurr.I have 2x250GB 840 Evo's, and I think they are garbage. Had to beark the RAID0, as they performed so badly.
I then gave one away to my brother.
You won't see me buy TLC nand again in this lifetime.
And by the way, my X25-E is still going strong, without hiccup, as my Linux drive. And how many years is that?

Of course the 840 EVO's perform badly , the old written data bug is kicking in. I wonder how long does it take Samsung to acknowledge the problem and then fix it (if it's fixable at all)Kristian Vättö - Thursday, September 18, 2014 - link
Stay tuned, I'll have an update to share regarding the bug within a couple of days.hojnikb - Thursday, September 18, 2014 - link

really like to hear more from 840 pro users regarding this bug...Is it really inherent in the TLC?

Nobody seems to have issues with MLC drives. There are lots of reports for 840EVO and a few for 840basic.So it must be limited to TLC.
