ADATA has unveiled a sneak preview of its latest SSD series at the Computex 2010 event at Taipei, the S501 series, which feature a Marvell controller, SATA 6Gbps interface, 128MB of cache and uses 34nm NAND, according to Hexus.
The drives will be available in capacities of 64GB, 128GB, 256GB and 512GB, with maximum read and write speeds of 350MB/s and 200MB/s, respectively. Despite performance appearing like the RealSSD C300, according to TweakTown, it actually uses a different Marvell controller intended for the Enterprise market.
According to the Hexus story, they are getting one for review soon, so it will be interesting to see their comparison against the Crucial RealSSD as well as other drives.
TweakTown has a screenshot from ADATA showing the benchmark results of CrystalDiskMark and ATTO Disk with two S501′s paired in RAID 0. However, as SSDs behave quite different in RAID than in direct access, dividing the figures in two may still give substantially different figures to single SSD on its own.
