ADATA S510 120GB Solid State Drive Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell December 7, 2011 Featured Tech Reviews, SSD Drives

IOMeter is another open source synthetic benchmarking tool which is able to simulate the various loads placed on hard drive and solid state drive technology.

We use a custom Kitguru configuration for 4k random write to measure performance.

ADATA rate the drive as capable of up to 85,000 IOPS with their own 4k Random write test, but with our settings it achieved 66,491 IOPS, which is actually a very good result.

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

    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.
