SanDisk and manufacturing partner Toshiba seem late to the 3D party. Their joint venture leveraged planar NAND longer than many industry rivals while simultaneously ramping up 3D NAND production for other markets. 3D BiCS NAND has shipped for at least a y...
The SanDisk Ultra 3D is identical to the Blue 3D, but you may find it costs a little more. Shop for both, but choose the lower price. The Ultra 3D delivers comparable performance to the 850 EVO 1TB, but it costs much less. It's a very good drive, but once...
