So here are my results after I finally received my SanDisk Extreme PROs today....

Benchmark wise......... the SanDisk Extreme PRO is a bit slower than the 850 PRO.....but real world usage.......the SanDisk Extreme PRO beats the 850 PRO as in this example:

Samsung 850 PRO 1TB:

AS SSD Benchmark with IRST 13.6.0.1002 (W8)

CrystalDiskMark with IRST 13.6.0.1002 (W8)

HD Tune PRO with IRST 12.8.0.1016 (Windows 8.1):

I just and installed Windows 8.1 (I never clone my disks, clean fresh start FTW), configured all my user folders placing them my E: partition (the mSATA 840 EVO) as usual like pics, docs, music, videos then I did all the Windows updates

Then I did the disk cleanup to clean the Windows updates and temp files and took my first image using Marcum Reflect Home

Results:

Single 850 PRO finishes this job on 57 Seconds


what matters at the end of the day, is performance consistency and real world performance as I have experienced myself right from the start even before installing the IRST drivers the backup/imagine process was about 20% faster on the SanDisk Extreme PRO.

Dual 850 PRO in RAID 0 finishes this job in 1 min 33 Seconds

Single SanDisk Extreme Pro finished the job in 42 Seconds

This is a very good start and mind you no drivers or anything g are installed yet and it achieved 461 MB/S Read and 487 MB/S Write in the Macrium Reflect progress bar where the single 850 Pro maxed out at 380 MB/S in that progress bar

I'm starting to like this drive and starting to more and more believe that synthetic benchmarks are meaningless compared to real life usage scenarios

Ok, now you've perked my interest in this drive. Realistically, I'm not likely to press the performance of an SSD, as long as it has Synchronous MLC NAND and a half-decent controller. Also interested in BX100 / MX200 SSDs.

Currently using an ~$80 240GB M500 SSD. It does the job. (Burning a BD-R at 10x, and transferring a ISO to / from my NAS at the same time, without a hiccup.)
 
Very nice for SATA SSDs, but I think PCIE is the future 😀

You might want to take a second look there, it's the Samsung drive that offers higher data rates under Light, Heavy and Destroyer benchmarks, and no drive really destroys the other one in these benchmarks.

oh snap, i was thinking the Orange color is for the SanDisk it appears that's for the 850 PRO. Still, mixed bag of results I can see

The Extreme Pro is cheaper and has a ten year warranty.

i bought several of them during black friday sales. Most of the sales going on were not anything spectacular, but there were sites selling the 480gb extreme pro's for 199. I turned around and sold all but one of them on ebay for $280
