A-DATA's SATAII SSD 300 Plus promises quicker reads, writes

It's hard to say just how legitimate these claims are at the moment, but A-DATA seems pretty jazzed about its newest SSD. While not nearly as capacious as the outfit's recently unveiled 512GB XPG SSD, the next-generation SATAII SSD 300 Plus supposedly increases performance of read speeds by up to 40 percent while boosting write speeds by around 60 percent when compared to a "regular SSD." According to A-DATA, this here drive utilizes a special mobile SDRAM module to hit a sustained read rate of 250MB/sec and write rate of 160MB/sec, and all this high-flying performance comes to you in 32, 64, 128 and 256GB flavors. Pricing, however, remains a thick, convoluted mystery.

Why can't they internally raid it for faster read/writes?

Because then it would cost an inordinate amount of money.

Yes, expensive performance drives. There's always someone out there ready to pay the big bucks for the performance...

OCZ Apex and Vertex drives do that, and so do the Intel drives.

I dream of the day when I won't have to say: This... or a car

Im prepared to believe that this will retain its value better than any car.

Hello?

Anyone?

This is all lovely, but maybe you should produce something that we can afford?

Oh man !!

They are doing us a favour by keeping the prices up. We (most of us) are not rushing into this technology, when it is moving forwards so fast.

WAIT !!! - this current stuff will all be redundant very soon. Faster, more reliable, MUCH cheaper stuff will be out next year; ready for us to come out of recession ??

If it's only 100% faster than my 256BG Supertalent Masterdrive OX then it'll still be too slow to be remotely useful.

It defiantly seems like OCZ Vertex OEM
