The S599 256GB drive is supplied with the SandForce SF-1222 processor which is rated to maximum speeds of 280MB/s read and 270 MB/s write.

Equipped with the latest SandForce SF-1222 processor, ADATA's S599 Solid State Drive delivers remarkable performance. Sporting a maximum of 280 MB/s read speed and 270 MB/s write speed1 and 50,000 IOPS2, it is even faster than the Intel G2 SSD, an achievement unparalleled by traditional hard drives.

    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.
