The measurement of the ADATA SX910 was carried out on Windows. Similar read and write speeds could certainly be achieved with the ADATA SX910 under Linux and MacOS. Of course, the correct hard drive driver should be installed and the correct interface for the ADATA SX910 should be used.
The ADATA SX910 is a solid state drive (SSD) from ADATA's SX series, which is known for its high performance and reliability. The SX910 is especially designed for users who are looking for a powerful and fast storage solution to significantly increase the performance of their system. Below you will find a detailed description, technical details, features and application area of ​​the ADATA SX910.
General Description
The ADATA SX910 is an SSD that is characterized by its use of the SATA III (6 Gb/s) interface and its high performance. This SSD is designed for use in desktops and laptops and offers a significant improvement over traditional HDDs (Hard Disk Drives) in terms of speed and reliability. The SX910 uses MLC NAND flash memory which offers a balanced mix of performance and endurance.
Technical Details
1. Interface:
- SATA III (6 Gb/s): The SX910 uses the SATA III interface which offers a maximum theoretical data transfer rate of 6 Gb/s (600 MB/s). This interface is backwards compatible with SATA II and SATA I, but offers the highest performance when using the SATA III interface.
2. Capacity:
- Available Sizes: The SX910 comes in a variety of capacities including 128GB, 256GB and 512GB. These capacities suit different needs depending on whether the user wants to store a large amount of data or just house the operating system and some applications on the SSD.
3. Storage Technology:
- MLC NAND Flash Memory: The SX910 uses MLC (Multi-Level Cell) NAND flash memory which offers a good balance between performance, cost and endurance. MLC memory cells store more data per cell than TLC (Triple-Level Cell) and tend to be more durable but are slightly more expensive than TLC memory.
4. Performance:
- Sequential Read: Up to 550MB/s. This high read performance ensures fast application startup times, fast boot times and improved system responsiveness.
- Sequential Write: Up to 500MB/s. This write speed enables rapid storage and transfer of large files and amounts of data.
- Random Read/Write (4K IOPS): Up to 80,000 IOPS for random read and up to 70,000 IOPS for random write. These IOPS values ​​are important for performance when working with small, randomly distributed blocks of data.
5. Power Consumption:
- Power Consumption: The SSD has a typical power consumption of about 3 to 5 watts when operating and about 0.5 to 1 watt when idle. These values ​​contribute to the energy efficiency of the SSD and help extend battery life in mobile devices.
6. Design:
- 2.5 inch form factor: The SX910 has the common 2.5 inch form factor used in most laptops and desktop PCs. This makes it easy to install and compatible with a wide range of systems.
- Height: The height is 7mm, making it suitable for most modern devices, including many laptops that are thin and light.
7. Reliability and Durability:
- MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): The mean time before failure is typically around 1.5 million hours, indicating high reliability of the SSD.
- TBW (Total Bytes Written): TBW values ​​vary by capacity, but offer a long durability because MLC memory cells support a greater number of write cycles than TLC memory cells.
8. Warranty:
- Limited Warranty: The SX910 comes with a 3-year limited warranty that covers repairs or replacement for manufacturing defects.
Features
1. High Performance:
- Fast Data Transfer: With sequential read and write speeds of up to 550MB/s and 500MB/s, the SX910 dramatically improves overall system performance, offering fast boot times and response times.
2. Energy Efficiency:
- Low Power Consumption: The SSD is energy efficient and contributes to better battery life in mobile devices as it consumes less power than traditional hard drives.
3. Reliability:
- Error Correction: The SX910 uses advanced error correction and data management technologies such as ECC (Error Correction Code) to ensure data integrity and extend the lifespan of the SSD.
4. Thermal Management:
- Cooling Technology: The SSD has an optimized heat dissipation design to prevent overheating and maintain consistent performance.
5. Compatibility:
- Wide Support: The SX910 is compatible with a wide range of systems and operating systems and can be easily used as an upgrade for older systems or as primary storage in new systems.
Application area
1. Desktops:
- System drive: The SX910 can be used as the primary drive in desktop PCs to install the operating system and applications, resulting in a faster and more responsive system.
2. Laptops:
- Upgrade: In laptops, the SX910 can be used as an upgrade to a traditional hard drive to improve boot times and overall system performance.
3. Gaming PCs:
- Performance enhancement: The SSD ensures fast game loading times and improved system response time, resulting in a smoother gaming experience.
4. External enclosures:
- Portable storage device: The SX910 can be installed in an external enclosure to provide a fast, portable storage solution for data transfers and backups.
5. Workstations:
- Data-intensive applications: In workstations, the SSD can be used for working with large files and extensive data sets, such as video or image editing.
Summary
The ADATA SX910 is a high-performance SSD that uses the SATA III (6 Gb/s) interface and is available in capacities of 128 GB, 256 GB and 512 GB. With sequential read and write speeds of up to 550 MB/s and 500 MB/s, as well as good IOPS performance, it offers a significant improvement over traditional hard drives. The use of MLC NAND flash memory ensures a good balance between performance and durability. Ideal for desktops, laptops, gaming PCs and external storage solutions, the SX910 offers a reliable and fast storage solution for various applications. The 3-year limited warranty and advanced data integrity and energy efficiency features make it a solid choice for anyone needing a high-performance SSD.
