ADATA S511 240GB SSD Review (Sandforce 2281)

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.

OCZ fell a little short of their claimed 4kb random/write performance of 60,000 IOPS and our results were a little lower than initially anticipated, at 58,345. ADATA have obviously tweaked the 240gb S511 drive however as it manages to score just over 60,000, which is a heck of an achievement.

  1. Excellent, these guys seem to be on the ball.

  2. A 60gb version is coming? Count me in for a couple of those puppies

  3. This controller is the future of ssd in the next year or two. Amazing speeds…

  4. Price is good. How much will the 60gb version be?

  5. Based on pricing of 240gb. I would say 60gb will be around 110 to 120 pounds

  6. 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?

  7. ADATA seem to be bringing more cool stuff out lately. I dont often see them on stores I use however, which is concerning.

  8. 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

  9. 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

  10. Very good drive, aggressive pricing too.

  11. 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?

  12. very nice indeed, shame it cant be bought anywhere yet. 60GB might be a good boot option

  13. They certainly have the pricing right, never heard of the company however !
