Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0 x64.
CrystalMark isn't an ideal benchmark to use with drives which utilise storage compression so we set the benchmark to 0x00(0 fill mode which helps better judge compressed data performance.
A strong set of results from the Sandforce powered ADATA drive, peaking at around 260MB/s read with the sequential test.

Good drives, I have the 128gb version of this and it maintains the speed well over time.
I need to get into the SSD market, I might look at the 128gb version of this, the price looks lower than others. always a good buying incentive.
I really have a hard time buying a drive like this from a company I dont really know, its a lot of money. Corsair or OCZ seem a much better option.
What are their warranty terms? dont know much about them, cant even find a UK site
for those who dont know, ADATA make the Corsair drives. its well known outside public circles.
