SanDisk offers their Ultra SSD lineup for retail consumers

Previously SanDisk offered its Ultra SSD to the business sector, but on Tuesday the company revealed that it’s now offering the drive to consumers. Unfortunately, it’s not packed with the SandForce SF-2200 controller or a SATA 6 Gbps interface, so don’t expect blazing fast speeds in the 500 MB/s realm.
