Test: ADATA XPG SX900 256 GB SSD

Konklusion

Endnu et produkt fra ADATA har været forbi testbænken, det har været en lidt blandet fornøjelse. Jeg havde regnet med at SX 900 serien var en smule hurtigere i ATTO Write for 4.0KB testen sammenlignet med tidligere testet ADATA S511 240GB SSD som scorede 222 MB/s mod de 189 MB/s som ADATA XPG SX900 256GB fik.
Holder vi stadig fast i Write-testen fra ATTO, nærmere betegnet fra 512.0KB op til 8192.0KB. Ja, så løber SX900 med sejren med 528 MB/s, hvilket er noget af det hurtigste, jeg har testet.
Har du brug for lidt mere plads end en standard ADATA SSD normalt har, så er SX900 serien et godt bud.

ADATA er gået skridtet videre med deres SX900 serien hvor der er 7% mere plads i forhold til andre SandForce-2281 basseret SSD’er.
Måden hvorpå man har kunne få de 7% ekstra plads er gjort ved at disable RAISE (Redundant Array of Independent Silicon Elements) mere information omkring RAISE kan findes her: http://www.sandforce.com/index.php?id=174&parentId=3
Kort fortalt minimerer, RAISE sandsynligheden for uoprettelige læsefejl, endvidere falder fejlprocenten på SSD’er med RAISE enabled med ca. 12%. Derfor må fremtiden vise om SX900 serien er stabile.

Der er alt i pakken, man behøver for at komme i gang. Den medfølgende 3.5” monteringsplade er vanen tro holdt i den blå farve som vi f.eks. så det med ADATA S511 240GB da denne var fordi redaktionen.
Ville dog have været rart med en boot-CD med Acronis (kloning af harddisk/SSD) så man slipper for at rode rundt med brænding af CD’er, eller USB nøgler.

Kabinettet som huser de fine flash moduler, er holdt i sort børstet aluminium med påklistret ADATA logo, som vi tidligere har set fra ADATA, hvilket er ganske pænt.

Ydelse - 4
SX900 serien er noget at det hurtigste ADATA endnu har produceret, hvilket også testene viser med de hurtige læse- og skrivehastigheder.

Pris - 3
Prisen er også en vigtig faktor når der skal indkøbes en ny SSD til ens fart hungerende monster af en PC, prisen på omkring 1900,- kan derfor virke som mange penge, når tilsvarende produkter koster ca. 300,- DKK mindre. Men ydelse og teknologi taget i betragtning kan det sagtens retfærdiggøres.

 UK summary

Another product from ADATA has passed the test bench, it has been a somewhat mixed blessing had counted on the SX900 series was a bit faster in ATTO Write for 4.0KB test compared with previously tested ADATA S511 240GB SSD which scored 222 MB / s versus 189 MB / s for ADATA XPG 256GB SX900.
Are we looking at the results for Write test in ATTO from 512.0KB to 8192.0KB then SX900 runs very fast compared to the earlier tested S511 from ADATA also, SX900 hitting 528 MB/s which is one of the fastes I have tested yet.
Do you need a little more space than a standard ADATA SSD normally, then SX900 Series an excellent choice.

Innovation/Technology - 5
ADATA has gone a step further with their SX900 series, which has 7% more space compared to other SandForce-2281 earned based SSDs. The way they have get the 7% extra space is done by disabling RAISE (Redundant Array of Independent Silicon Elements) more information about RAISE can be found here.

RAISE reduces the probability of a single unrecoverable read error, and also decreases the error rate on SSD with RAISE enabled by approx 12%, the last question is are they stable without RAISE, can only the future show.

Bundle/Accessories - 3
There is everything in the package, you need to get started. The included 3.5 "mounting plate is true to form kept in the blue color as we saw it with ADATA S511 240GB since this was because the editors. However, would have been nice with a boot CD with Acronis (cloning HDD / SSD) so you do not have to mess around with burning CDs or USB keys.

Design/Layout - 3
The cabinet that houses the fine flash modules are kept in black brushed aluminum with glued ADATA logo that we've seen from ADATA, which is quite nice.

Performance - 4
The SX900 Series is something that the fastest ADATA has yet produced, which also are shown in the tests with the fast read and write speeds.

Price - 3
Price is also an important factor when it comes to purchasing a new SSD for the same speed end hunger monster of a PC, the price of around 1900,- DKK can seem like a lot of money when similar products costing approx. 300,- DKK lower. But with performance and technology taken into consideration, this can easily be justified.
