Launches Companion Line to Highly Successful S511 SSD Series

ADATA Technology, a leading manufacturer of high-performance DRAM modules and NAND Flash application products, today announced the release of the S510 Solid State Drive (SSD), a mid-range version of the company’s flagship S511. Implementing the SATA III (6Gb/sec) specification, the S510 is aimed at the growing pool of users who recognize the cost and performance advantages of solid state drive upgrades for both desktop and portable computers.

The performance advantages of the SATA III transfer specification are becoming well-known among consumers, and the S510 capitalizes on this trend with native support through adoption of the SandForce SF-2200 series chip. its read and write speeds are twice that of SSDs using the older SATA II specification, and in real world test simulations reached 550/510MB read and write speeds respectively, with 4K random write speeds as high as 85,000 IOPS.

outside of the new computer market, SSDs are increasingly seen as a cost-effective option for upgrading existing laptop and notebook computers, as these systems often benefit more in terms of boot speed and application performance over comparable desktop systems. Additionally, laptop and notebook users are more likely to need the low heat and high impact resistance of solid state storage. By replacing the mechanical drive with an SSD, the useful life of the laptop or notebook can be extended.

The S510 will be available in 120GB capacities.

Availability The new S510 solid state drive is distributed through designated agents and resellers. For more information, visit the ADATA Web site: adata-group.com

Looks good, except you should change out your processor for a Core i7 and the motherboard for an Asus P6T. an i7 920 will easily beat a Q9650 because of a newer and better core architecture.

Also i7 requires triple-channel DDR3 RAM.

EDIT:
A P6T will work with an i7 and your current parts.

The OC Palm thing is a gimmick from what I've heard. A standard P6T or P6T Deluxe will be fine.

i7 and the P6T can take advantage of triple-channel RAM, so 9GB would be ideal( 3x 1GB plus 3x 2GB)

And make sure you get a 64-bit operating system to use all 9GB.

looks good to me.

you just need a case and an operating system.

everything else is good.

i would give it an 8.923/10

Should see you out for the next couple of years. How much did it cost you to buy these parts? and did you get them imported as well, or just kind of buy them at the local shop?

Yeahhh……My tongue is hanging out for your computer. It should work very well. Nice build.

Yea its a very good comp

one thing i would have done if i were u would be to get the 285. its runs cooler and u are able to overclock it ferther

Ha quit showing off. if i wear you i would go with 1066mhz memory and i would get 2 hard drives. A smaller one for your operating system. You could add a 60gb hd for 30 dollers more.

New Samsung internal solid state drives are headed your way in October promising blazing fast data transfer rates of up to 6 gigabits per second thanks to the SSD’s Serial ATA (SATA) 3.0 interface.

Samsung’s new SSD 830 series will come in 64, 128, 256 and 512GB storage sizes and will be sold as a 2.5-inch drive. the full upgrade package for the SSD 830 also comes with a bracket to fit into 3.5-inch desktop PC slots and Symantec’s Norton Ghost software. Samsung will also offer a notebook upgrade package that includes a USB to SATA adapter cable. Pricing was not announced.

This is Samsung’s second SSD announcement in as many weeks. the company previously announced the PM830 SSD, which appears to be the OEM version of the SSD 830 announced Wednesday. the PM830 is available to computer makers now and comes in 128GB, 256 GB and 512GB sizes.

During the PM830 announcement, Samsung said the drive supports sequential read speeds of up to 500 megabytes per second and write speeds of 350 MB/s. It’s not clear if the SSD 830 will support the same read/write speeds or perhaps be even faster. Samsung said the PM830′s performance would reduce a computer’s boot time to about 10 seconds and let you transfer up to 5 DVD video files in less than a minute. the PM830 also features AES 256-bit data encryption, presumably the SSD 830 will do the same.

Samsung’s new SATA 3.0 SSD drives follow similar announcements by Intel in March with its SSD 320 Series and Sandisk’s U100 and iSSD drives in May.

I am looking to buy a super-fast workstation (with Core2 Extreme). I had bought from Velocity Micro before, but now their workstations (ProMagix W160) only offer RAID drives with SATA 150 at 10K RPM.
velocitymicro.com/wizard.php?…

Dell has the Precision T3400 with RAID drives at 15K RPM, SAS, 3.0 Gb/s.
configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/c…

The Dell seems much faster! (but the power supply is ridiculously small, plus other issues).

Any suggestions? is SAS RAID much faster than SATA??

yes it is. u can notice the difference. SAS is much faster

Yes, SAS is faster.
The drives themselves are faster and better made.

It seems odd they would still offer SATA 150. that is an old technology now. SATA 150 tops out at about 150MB per second, while SAS tops out at about 375MB per second.

Whenever we have an SAS type HDD review here on RWL many people ask what practical difference in speeds they can expect between SAS and SATA drives and if these differences are really worth the extra buck. now answering such a question is not that easy since one must have two identical drives with interface type as their sole difference. So since i like to answer pretty much every question people ask of me today with us we have the latest Seagate Constellation.2 2.5" 1TB hard disk drives (ST91000640NS) in both SATA III (6Gb/s) and SAS 6Gb/s which hopefully will give us an overall idea of the differences between SATA and SAS.

before we start i must also point out that speed is not the only reason people/companies use SAS drives in their systems. There’s also the matter of safety/security in which case SAS drives can offer hard self-encryption of your data and far higher MTBF (Mean Time between Failures) rates than normal SATA drives. of course these features will not matter much to the casual user and so for this review/comparison at least we will be focusing on the performance both drives deliver… RealWorldLabs
