ADATA XPG SX300 Review

The increasing demand for the device high-performance storage system can be easily supported by the unit SX300 Pro Premier 6GB/sec mSATA solid state. With a controller SandForce and 25 nm (MLC) NAND flash chips SX300 performs random read and write speeds of up to 25,000 / 85 000 IOPS. When combined with the bridge of sand or platforms Ivy Bridge, the SX300 can achieve incredible performance on both desktops and laptops.

The resulting optimized implementation SX300 firmware to make full use of NAND Flash memory components, which to a maximum storage capacity: up to 7% compared to other SSDs that use a controller SandForce. These zero-percent support in the delivery takes place without loss of performance or features, has and can only be done by the 100% detection and classification of the NAND Flash.

The SX300 uses a SandForce controller with 25 nm chips (MLC) NAND flash. For Model 256 GB, transfer rates up to 550MB/sec (read) and 505MB/sec (write). Read / write speeds up to 25000/85 000 IOPS. For energy saving and environmental protection, low power consumption of SSD mSATA significantly reduced electricity costs. If the hard disk and SX300 together in a hybrid configuration (cache SSD) is used, the cost can be reduced considerably, reaching almost even with the execution speed of an SSD as the main unit. Compared to a simple mechanical device, performance improvements of up to 64%.

The SX300 is small and lightweight, measures only 50.95 x 30 x 4 mm. It is applicable to many motherboards on the market that have a slot mSATA, including Acer and MSI TM8481G GT70. For more detailed information about supported hardware, visit the manufacturer of the laptop in question.
