launches a Comprehensive Lineup of Solid State Drives with Improved
Capacity
Taipei,
Taiwan – February 24, 2012 – ADATA™ Technology,
a leading manufacturer of high-performance DRAM modules and NAND Flash
storage application products, today announced the launch of a complete
lineup of expanded capacity solid state drives. The new SSD range
includes the XPG SX900, the Premier Pro SP900, and the Premier SP800,
all of which use new optimized firmware to utilize greater storage
capacity of the NAND Flash components. The XPG SX900 is a
groundbreaking 512GB capacity solid state drive utilizing the SandForce
2281 controller, making it a milestone in ADATA’s history of NAND Flash
based products. All of the drives being launched use superior NAND
Flash for improved stability and performance.
The XPG (Xtreme Performance Gear) family of products has been expanded
to include solid state drives, and the SX900 is a perfect match for the
performance requirements of this elite group. Its maximum sequential
read and write speeds are 550/530 MB per second, with maximum random 4k
write speeds as high as 85,000 IOPS. With capacities of 64, 128, 256,
and 512GB, the SX900 is poised to take its place as a market and
performance leader.
The Premier Pro SP900 also boasts impressive performance numbers, but
also offers a competitive price advantage to those looking to upgrade.
Maximum sequential read and write speeds are 550/520 MB per second,
with maximum random 4k write speeds of 85,000 IOPS. Capacities of 64,
128 and 256 GB make the SP900 an outstanding option for upgrading
notebooks that are compatible with the SATA 6Gb per second
specification.
Rounding out the new lineup, the Premier SP800 is a SATA II compliant
SSD that also makes efficient use of the Flash storage capacity,
allowing for capacities of 32 and 64GB. Max sequential read and write
speeds are 280/260MB per second, and max random 4k write speeds are up
to 44,000 IOPS. It enters the market as a high value entry-level solid
state drive for those who are just now making the transition from
mechanical drives.
