All our results were achieved by running each test five times with every configuration this ensures that any glitches are removed from the results. Trim is confirmed as running by typing fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify into the command line. A response of disabledeletenotify =0 confirms TRIM is active.
Excellent, these guys seem to be on the ball.
A 60gb version is coming? Count me in for a couple of those puppies
This controller is the future of ssd in the next year or two. Amazing speeds…
Price is good. How much will the 60gb version be?
Based on pricing of 240gb. I would say 60gb will be around 110 to 120 pounds
The 60GB appeals to me, ill probably get 4 for QUAD Raid 0 performance. Should only be around £500. much better than a single 240GB drive. Any chance of a test Zardon of this setup?
ADATA seem to be bringing more cool stuff out lately. I dont often see them on stores I use however, which is concerning.
What are the warranty terms on their SSDs? in UK, and also how do we return them if they fail. to their HQ or to the dealer we bought from? I got burned on Patriot before. moer info would help
Im still not convinced to just jump in with ADATA, but they are on my radar now, they weren’t a few months ago. This drive looks really good, I also like their tweaks on this drive, it looks like they put a lot of effort into the tuning
Very good drive, aggressive pricing too.
The 240gb is very nice, but its a hell of a lot of money for a drive. 120gb is more sensible, but I can see them selling a ton of 60gb units.
erm.. why aren’t OCZ selling anything smaller than 120gb? whats up with that?
very nice indeed, shame it cant be bought anywhere yet. 60GB might be a good boot option
They certainly have the pricing right, never heard of the company however !
