ADATA
Launches New Solid State Drive with Marvell Controller
SATA III 6Gb/sec Premier Pro Series SP920
Taipei, Taiwan – April 8, 2014 -
ADATA™ Technology,
a leading manufacturer of high-performance DRAM modules and NAND Flash
application products, today announces the launch of the Premier Pro
series SP920 solid state drive (SSD). Designed to meet the
high-performance requirements of multimedia file transfers, the SP920
is equipped with the latest generation Marvell controller implementing
the SATA III 6Gb/sec specification.
SSDs continue to become mainstream storage selections for a
cross-section of user types, largely due to the higher demands placed
on primary system disks by operating systems, games, and high
definition media. The SP920 is designed for high performance across a
wide range of demanding applications, but it is especially fast in the
transmission of multimedia files (uncompressed data). 4KB random read /
write speeds are as high as 98,000/88,000 IOPS, with sequential read
and write speeds of up to 560/500 MB/sec. In addition to these
impressive numbers, the SP920 maintains consistently high read and
write speeds even when the disk is 90% full. This is in contrast to
some solid state drives that suffer performance degradation as the
drive nears capacity.
The range of capacities that the SP920 comes in is likely to excite
enthusiasts and power users. The initial launch of 128GB and 256GB
capacities will be followed by increases of 512GB and a massive 1TB
shortly after. The SP920 makes full use of the NAND flash chip
capacity, resulting in a 7% increase in the usable space of the drive
over many models currently on the market. For those looking to upgrade
from a mechanical hard disk, the SP920 comes with a 2.5mm holder,
allowing the drive to be used in both 7mm and 9.5mm bays.
Purchasers of the SP920 will now have even more power at their
fingertips with the recent release of ADATA’s proprietary SSD Toolbox
software. SSD ToolBox provides multiple ways for users to obtain disk
information, change settings, and improve SSD lifespan &
performance. Combined with the known advantages of solid state and
ADATA’s expertise in this area, the Premier Pro SP920 SSD is shaping up
as an ideal SSD solution in terms of performance, data security, and
stability.
