The SanDisk Ultra II SSD and Linux

📅 January 6, 2016
There is nothing like the joy of having the chance to try a new Solid State Drive (SSD) with Linux! After all, Linux runs so well, that if anything goes wrong, it must be the drive’s fault.

Having acquired a brand new SanDisk Ultra II 120G SSD, I was eager to see how it would perform with Linux Mint 17.3. Since this drive is one of the newer models, I was pleased to see that it exceeded all expectations by meeting the claims on the box and *almost* reaching speeds of the legendary Samsung 840 EVO SSD.
