SanDisk announces the Ultra II series of SSDs

   The SSDs are available in capacities ranging from 120GB to 960GB, with the 240GB model selling for $115

     As SanDisk product manager Jared Peck put it in a briefing last week: "We look at every piece of the market and want to make sure we have a good solution for each of them. The Ultra II line is aimed at mainstream users who are ready to upgrade from a hard drive or from an older, smaller SSD."

    SanDisk is bundling three pieces of software with its Ultra II drives, including a single-use copy of Apricorn's EZ Gig IV cloning utility.  "There's a high probability this is the user's first SSD, and their first experience cloning a drive," said Peck, describing the process of moving an image of the PC's existing boot drive to a new SSD. This eliminates the
need for the user to reinstall Windows and all of their application software. The software ceases to function once a successful clone operation has taken place, but it works with any SATA or USB-to-SATA cable. If the user doesn't already have a cable, SanDisk will provide a link to a site where one can be purchased.

     SanDisk will also be shipping a 120GB drive, with 480- and 960GB capacities coming to market later this year, but Peck claims that "70 percent of market is buying 120- or 240GB drives
     Ultra II drives will come with a three-year warranty.
     SanDisk offers a 10-year warranty on its pricier Extreme Pro series drives.
Peck said that, "We went with a longer warranty [on the Extreme Pro series] because it's a more durable drive,"
