Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0.1 x64.
Sequential performance is excellent, scoring over 520 MB/s in the read test and 335 MB/s in the write test. 4K QD32 performance is also strong.
We switch to 0×00 mode, which deals with compressible data. Write performance improves across the range of tests, with sequential results now showing over 510 MB/s, from 335 MB/s.
Above, some included compares from other leading solid state drives which we have reviewed in recent months.
Excellent performance all round, but its expensive, not by yesterdays standards, but id opt for the 256gb SX900 model, at £100 less
Good drive, but I still would go for the vertex 4 from OCZ< as incompressible is better again.
Never even heard of ADATA before. I see they have quite a few SSDs out already. oriental brand I take it?
How does the SX910 differ from the SX900. The performance specs are the same but the SX910 has a five year (vice three year) warranty and a higher price; I have heard that the ciis are select (binning/cherrypicking); any other ideas? Is the SX910 worth a premium price over the SX900?
