ADATA S599 256GB SSD Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell March 12, 2011 Featured Announcement, SSD Drives

We use Futuremark’s PCMark Vantage in many of our system reviews and we felt that it was worth an inclusion in this review. It is still a synthetic suite, but it uses many real world characteristics to try and judge overall performance levels. We are using the 64 bit version of the HDD Suite for this testing. We also compare against a Samsung F1 1TB drive on this page.

A PCMark score is a measure of your computer’s performance across a variety of common tasks such as viewing and editing photos, video, music and other media, gaming, communications, productivity and security. From desktops and laptops to workstations and gaming rigs, by comparing your PCMark Vantage score with other similar systems you can find the hardware and software bottlenecks that stop you getting more from your PC.

We are comparing against a regular Samsung 7,200 500GB HDD.

This test shows the real world benefits when upgrading to an SSD from a regular mechanical hard drive.

    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.
