ADATA
Launches Two New mSATA Solid State Drives
Expands
Line with XPG SX300 and Premier Pro SP300 Upgrade Solutions
Taipei, Taiwan – June 19, 2012 - ADATA™ Technology,
a leading manufacturer of high-performance DRAM modules and NAND Flash
storage application products, today announced the launch of the XPG SX300 and Premier Pro SP300
mSATA solid state drives. Both products are geared towards consumers
who wish to get the most out of recently released motherboards that
have built-in mSATA sockets. By using an mSATA SSD as a cache drive
instead of main storage, systems can reach speed boosts comparable to
systems with SSDs as primary drive.
The XPG SX300 has a SATA 6Gbit/sec interface, and is targeted towards
power users who demand the utmost in speed and capacity. Read and write
speeds reach an impressive 550 and 505 MB/sec respectively, with
maximum 4K random write of 85,000 IOPs. With capacities of 64, 128, and
256GB in such a small form factor, the SX300 brings the full power of
solid state technology to the mSATA field.
The Premier Pro SP300 has a SATA 3Gbit/sec interface, and is an
economical upgrade option. Read and write speeds reach 280 and 260
MB/sec respectively, with maximum 4K random write of 46,000 IOPs.
Capacities of 24, 32, and 64GB allow for use in conjunction with a
larger but slower mechanical drive, making the SP300 an extremely
cost-effective route for increasing system speed.
The implementation of optimized firmware in the SX300 and the SP300
results in full utilization of the NAND Flash components, which
translates to maximized storage capacity: a 7% increase over other
solid state drives that use a SandForce controller. This zero percent
over-provisioning is implemented with no loss to performance or
supported features, and can be realized only by 100% screening and
sorting of the NAND Flash. Both the SX300 and the SP300 are applicable
to Intel® Smart Response Technology, and comply with ATA/ATAP1-7
standard. Supported features include S.M.A.R.T and NCQ command sets,
and TRIM command. A 3-year warranty and a MTBF (mean time between
failures) of 1,200,000 hours ensure long term usage free of worries.
Availability
Both will be available through selected distributors and resellers at
retail price of USD 109.99 for SX300 64GB, USD 179.99 for SX300 128GB,
USD 349.99 for SX300 256GB, USD 59.99 for SP300 24GB, USD 69.99 for
SP300 32GB and USD 103.99 for SP300 64GB (excl. VAT).
