 Features    [ Edit | History ] - By Bin_L @Jan 22, 2013

 

 

The XPG (Xtreme Performance Gear) SX900 solid state drive is an expanded capacity SSD which uses new optimized firmware to utilize greater storage capacity of the NAND Flash components. With superior NAND Flash, the XPG SX900 SSD reaches new levels of stability and performance. The drive breaks new ground in storage capacity for SSDs utilizing the SandForce 2281 controller, reaching 512GB, a 7% increase over common SSDs in the market that use a SandForce controller. This represents a milestone in ADATA’s history of NAND Flash based products. 

 

 



 

 

 
Super full capacity with high performance
The XPG (Xtreme Performance Gear) family of products has been expanded to include solid state drives, and the XPG SX900 SSD is a perfect match for the performance requirements of this elite group. Its maximum sequential read and write speeds are 550/530 MB per second, with maximum random 4k write speeds as high as 85,000 IOPS. With capacities of 64, 128, 256, and 512GB, the XPG SX900 SSD is poised to take its place as a market and performance leader. 

 
 
 
Supports Windows TRIM Command, Accelerated Data Transfer Performance

The XPG SX900 SSD adopts specially selected Flash chips from reliable manufacturers, and supports the Windows TRIM command. The Windows TRIM optimization command can directly delete  stored data in the Flash memory and release unused space (Free Blocks) to be used for system writes immediately. This results in more accelerated transfer and write performance for solid state drives, and is also effective in slowing down efficiency decline and depletion chances, maintaining effective operation and extending the life of the disk. 
In both desktop and notebook computers, users will enjoy an unprecedented high-speed experience when they edit video, retouch large picture retouching, and use computer drafting, reading and writing operations.

 
 
 
The SX900 comes in two packaging configurations, to meet your specific needs
Desktop Pack 
Comes with a 3.5-inch conversion bracket to help you mount the SX900 when you are upgrading a desktop computer, allowing you to immediately enhance the performance and transmission speed of your operating system. 

Notebook Pack 
The SX900 Notebook Pack allows you to easily upgrade your laptop computer with a premium solid state drive, while using the original hard disk as an external drive. To make use of the SX900 as an internal disk drive for your laptop, simply remove the existing hard disk, and install the SX900 into the laptop drive slot. Install the old hard disk in the case provided, and continue to use it as either an external or portable drive. It also comes with a 3.5-inch conversion bracket to help you mount the SX900 when you are upgrading a desktop computer.

this is a reliable and very fast drive. i got it installed as the boot drive of my Windows 8 system (yes it does work with Windows 8) and the start up times and especially shut down times are ridiculously fast. SSD's are the way of the future, and this one is really good. is perfect for a laptop, which is what I put it in (Read More)

Of course, very fast. I increase the booting speed and access drive of my computer by 10.

Better upgrading your computer by a SSD drive, then a new CPU or PLC. (Read More)

I had read many great reviews on this, and was excited to use it as my boot drive, and it worked great for a day, until it started to crash. Windows was always having to repair it, so I wiped it, and did a clean install again, hoping I had done something wrong the first time. Same thing happened within a few hours again. I'm going to try to return it and get an intel instead. (Read More)

After seeing the great Yuletide sale price at 159$ last week, after waiting months to see the price on SSD drives drop, I found this in my email, read some other reviews to find out if the sandforce drivers in this hard drive had issues as well.

The latest firmware for this Sandforce 2281 device (5.0.2a) has some kind of bug with the TRIM function that will eventually cause a large performance degradation. This issue has been known since around August 2012, and while many other manufacturers have released update d versions of the Sandforce firmware to fix this problem, ADATA is seriously dragging their heels on this one. Buyer beware...

computers haven't really impressed me lately with upgrades being minimal performance gains which can't notice sometimes, but let me say switching from HDD with platters to a SSD, WOW!! what a difference, booting to windows is like instant, tranfers are lightning fast, the drive is silent, this little 2.5" ssd is impressive, and for the price, this adata 256gb is great deal. i only wish there are 1 or 2tb ssd's for under $200, but this is a start, highly recommended (Read More)

Got on sale for $169.99 and couldn't be happier with performance. Using as boot drive for my gaming machine, finally my hard drive is no longer a bottleneck. Came with latest firmware loaded, verified by plugging into my hot-swap bay and checking properties in Device Manager. (Read More)
