It doesn’t matter how good any of the synthetic suites are, the real meat of the testing has to be under absolute real world conditions. This proves difficult as to record results we have to narrow down fluctuation. Therefore while we would say these are the most useful results to get from this review, there is always going to be a slight margin for error – its not absolutely scientific.
Firstly we installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit Edition onto each of the drives and performed a clean update from Microsoft with all patches and security fixes. We then install a basic suite of software, such as Office, Firefox and Adobe Design, then we install AVG free antivirus. We used a digital watch for this startup and repeated the test five times for each drive – once we had these five results we averaged the results and took that for the final figure.
23 seconds is pretty much what we would have expected from the drive, a very strong results, especially considering the budget price point.
STALKER: Call of Pripyat uses mainly compressible data, which means the S510 is able to perform at a similar level to the Wildfire 120GB, registering a score of 18 seconds.
yay, the first of many ‘cut price’ 120gb drives. ill wait until they hit £99.99 inc vat 🙂
Don’t corsair do a drive at the same capacity and price (2281?)
Seems good value, especially with HDD prices, although im hoping a 1TB is back to £50 by February.
No stock as always 🙂 but seems good. any ideas when OCUK will have them?
Good deal, but as someone else said, ADATA are hard to get in UK, took them ages to stock the 510 after KG reviewed it.
They are dropping all the time as said on first page,. need to drop a bit more for me to buy one. maybe next year. next gen.
Never heard of them. ill stick with Samsung, got burned with OCZ last gen when it failed in 2 weeks. (huge threads all over on sandforce, no thanks)..
Typical ADATA product, cant buy it anywhere. all preorder or ‘not in stock’.
useless.
Please, review Crucial M4 64GB and 128Gb, they are the kings. 🙂
Don’t care about the winning part when I saw a 128GB SSD going for £50.00 on ebay thought no way but only a few mins later it was mine,was using a 64 GB which wasn’t cutting it.So you made my day thanks EDL Bratcher
