ADATA mSATA XM13 Review

Corsair has to take the fastest in the industry of high-performance SSD mSATA XM13, a leader in the industry for research and development and a solid foundation for future small form factor (SFF) applications. The XM13 uses the cache mSATA and low power consumption. It uses a SandForce controller with transfer rates up to 3Gb random write IOPS and up to 12,500 €. Applies to Intel ® intelligent response, the XM13 system performance significantly improved compared to conventional hard drives by at least 30%.

The result is a reduction in boot times and faster execution of the program. The "Quick Start" with the tablet computer has influenced the expectations of desktop systems, and the demand profile for integrated hard drives with a fast, efficient operation, low, and growing competitive price.

Motherboards with integrated Z68 mSATA card slot. The interface is compatible with the specifications mSATA SLC and MLC memory module, the kernel is actually the same as the standard SSD. In terms of speed of reading and writing, there is little detectable difference in a regular solid state drives. The only difference is that the footprint of the system mSATA modules are smaller, consume less power, and no additional wiring is necessary.

The XM13 uses 25nm (MLC) NAND Flash with an extremely competitive price. If the XM13 is used in conjunction with a conventional hard disk, the cost is only 50% of a standard SSD, but the performance is almost the same. In addition, the XM13 is small and lightweight, with dimensions of 50.95 x 30 x 4 mm only. This is less than half the size of a normal card. Even with such a small volume of the XM13 excellent performance and is stable. The unit of solid-state mSATA XM13 is a next generation solution for applications SFF market.
