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...
