ADATA S510 120GB Solid State Drive Review

The ADATA S510 120GB arrives in a traditionally designed box, featuring the ADATA bird logo and drive specifications.

Inside is a 2.5″ to 3.5″ adapter, painted in ADATA colours. There are also some mounting screws and two leaflets, one of which contains the download information for the free OEM version of ACRONIS True Image software.

The ADATA S510 120GB drive is supplied in a black chassis with a blue sticker on front highlighting the specifications and name. The rear of the drive has all the information on the unit, including the serial number for the free copy of the ACRONIS software. We have deliberately blanked out the serial on this drive for security reasons.

The ADATA S510 drive is using Micron 29F64G08CBAAA flash 25nm memory which we have seen used in other drives recently, including the Corsair Force Series 3 drives. The Sandforce 2281 controller can access eight separate NAND channels, and two NAND modules are placed on each channel. The controller is marked as ‘SF-2281VB1-SDC’. ADATA rate this drive with read and write performance at 550 MB/s and 510 MB/s respectively. Sequential read and write is rated at 200 MB/s and 140 MB/s respectively.

  1. yay, the first of many ‘cut price’ 120gb drives. ill wait until they hit £99.99 inc vat 🙂

  2. Don’t corsair do a drive at the same capacity and price (2281?)

  3. Seems good value, especially with HDD prices, although im hoping a 1TB is back to £50 by February.

  4. No stock as always 🙂 but seems good. any ideas when OCUK will have them?

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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)..

  8. Typical ADATA product, cant buy it anywhere. all preorder or ‘not in stock’.

    useless.

  9. Please, review Crucial M4 64GB and 128Gb, they are the kings. 🙂

  10. 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
