Western Digital and SanDisk just unveiled a few new SSD and they use 64-layer 3D NAND memory. The WD drives come in 2.5"/7mm & m.2 2280 form factors and the SanDisk only comes in 2.5" form factor.

All these SSDs are based on Marvell controller and they can provide you with up to 560MB/s read and 550MB/s write speeds. Although you won't be getting these speeds with the 250GB model, you will need to buy the ones with more storage for better speeds.
