The Taiwanese manufacturer ADATA Unveils in turn a SF-2200 flash disk with asynchronous flash memory.
ADATA has announced a new flash drive. The S510 is very logically part of the "500 Series" of the Taiwanese manufacturer. It architecture as S511 around a SandForce SF-2200. This processor is however accompanied by asynchronous MLC flash memory (less powerful and less expensive). It will be proposed in a single capacity: 120 GB. The S510 adopts a format 2.5 inches and a 6 Gb/s Serial ATA interface.
ADATA advance maximum sequential flows (ATTO) of 550 MB/s read for 510 MB/s write. The manufacturer also specify values with incompressible files (AS - SSD): 200 MB/s read and 140 MB/s write. Maximum random performance reach their 85,000 IOPS (60,000 IOPS in aligned). The S510 consumes 0.6 watt in idle and 4.7 watts support. The MTBF is of 1 million hours, and it is covered by a three year warranty. ADATA will provide an adapter 2.5 inch to 3.5 inches in the bundle of his flash drive, and a utility facilitating migration. It is not known yet when and how much this S510 will be proposed. But it will be obviously cheaper than the S511...
Note: these SSDS are new models. They are not subject to the bug met a few months ago.
Monday, Patriot memory has stated that he now shipping the new series of forest fires SSDs featuring SandForce SF-2200 Controller. This gives the new line of 555 MB/s sequential read and up to 520 MB/s sequential write speeds when connected to a SATA 6 GB/s interface.
In related news. Super Talent has announced its new series TeraDrive PT3 SSDs that also use the SandForce SF-2200 Controller. Using a SATA 6 Gbp/s connection, data rate ONFi flash Double SSD features line would give the upper hand on SSDs competitors came out a few months ago. A comparative test, see below, shows that they are capable of speeds of up to 558 MB/s read and write speeds reaching 526 MB/s.
