5.0

The SanDisk Ultra 3D is the most affordable 4 TB SSD available, currently selling for only $390. In terms of performance, it's nearly as fast as other high-end 2.5" SATA drives, and write speeds are sustained very well since there's no TLC write hole.

4.0

Sandisk's Ultra 3D SSD easily bests rival TLC NAND based drives in performance. We still like the Crucial BX300, but if you need more capacity than the BX300 offers, the Ultra 3D is a great way to get it.

SanDisk's new 3D-NAND TLC-based drive is very competitive, reasonably priced, and all-around excellent. It's a safe alternative to the iconic SSD 850 EVO.
