Test: ADATA XPG SX910 128 GB SSD

Konklusion

SX910 har været fordi testmøllen, det har været lidt af en blandet følelse her tænker jeg på hastigheden da jeg bestemt havde regnet med at SX910 enten var lige så hurtig eller endnu hurtigere end sin forgænger SX900, hvilket desværre ikke lader til at være tilfældet, til trods for optimeret firmware samt håndplukkede NAND moduler.

Sammenligner vi SX910 og SX900 er der ingen tvivl om hvem der bestemmer slagets gang når skytset rettes mod Anvil Storage Utilities i 4K QD16 testen. Her er SX910 den klare taber med blot 174,21 MB/s mod 248,23 MB7s som SX900 i sin scorede, bevares SX910 er da hurtig ingen tvivl om det, men leder du efter en SSD til tunge opgaver med flere tråde ville jeg klart vælge SX900 fremfor SX910.

Innovation/Teknologi - 5
AADATA er gået skridtet videre med deres SX910 serien hvor der er 7% mere plads i forhold til andre SandForce-2281 basseret SSD’er.

Kort fortalt minimere, RAISE(Redundant Array of Independent Silicon Elements) 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.

Bundle/Tilbehør - 3
Det medfølgende tilbehør er alt man behøver for at komme i gang, traditionen tro ser vi igen den blå farvet 3.5” monteringsplade som vi tidligere har set både da vi testede SX900 256GB samt S511 240GB.

Design/Layout - 3
Huset som passer på indmaden er i sort børstet aluminium som vi også tidligere har set så intet nyt under solen.
Måske værd at bemærke at det påklistret logo skifter farve an på hvordan SSD’en holdes i lyset måske en ny kamæleon har fundet vej i naturen?

Ydelse - 3
Her havde jeg klart regnet med en ligeså hurtig ydelse eller endnu hurtigere. Desværre skuffer SX910 mig en smule, derfor kan barometeret ikke trækkes højere op end 3.

Pris - 4
Prisen ligger i den helt rigtige ende af prisbarometeret med et prisskilt pålydende ca. 1000,- DKK.

 UK summary

SX910 has passed our test bench, it has been a bit of a mixed feeling when we are looking at the speed because I certainly had hoped that SX910 either was as fast or even faster than its predecessor SX900, which unfortunately does not seem to be the case for despite optimized firmware and handpicked NAND modules.

If we compare the SX910 and SX900 there is no doubt about who decides when the guns are aimed at Anvil Storage Utilities in 4K QD16 test here is SX910 the clear loser with just 174.21 MB/s versus SX900 which scored  248,23 MB/s are you looking for an SSD for heavy tasks with multiple threads I would clearly choose SX900 instead of SX910.

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.
http://www.sandforce.com/index.php?id=174&parentId=3
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 question is; are they stable without RAISE? Only the future can tell.

Bundle/Accessories - 3
The accessories are all you need to get started, according to tradition, we again see the blue colored 3.5 "mounting plate as we have seen before both when we tested the SX900 256GB and 240GB S511.

Design/Layout - 3
The house that fits on the inside hardware is black brushed aluminum as we have seen before, so nothing new under the sun.
Perhaps worth noting that the ADATA logo changes color depending on how the SSD kept in view perhaps a new chameleon has found its way into the wild?

Performance - 3
Here I had clearly expected an equally rapid performance or even faster unfortunately drawers SX910 me a bit, and therefore the barometer can’t be pulled up higher score than 3.

Price - 4
The price is at the right end of the price barometer with a price tag nominal approx. 1000, - DKK.
