ADATA S510 120GB Solid State Drive Review

Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0.1 x64.

Overall performance of the drive with incompressible data is slightly underwhelming when compared against more expensive counterpart products.

When we enable the alternative ‘compressible’ setting called ’0×00 fill’ the performance increases dramatically, averaging around 465 MB/s seq read and 476 MB/s seq write. Huge increases from the previous results. 4k QD32 write performance also shows huge gains, alongside read and write 512k performance.

Performance against the leading drives is actually very competitive in compressible data mode. Not quite at the same level as the top drives, but reasonably close.

  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
