Overview:
For those who eagerly pursue performance speed, but have hesitated because of the steeper costs over traditional drives, ADATA has launched an entry-level solid state drive (SSD), the S396. It offers a new chance to attain the high speeds of the latest performance standard.
Features:
Solving the problem of sluggish mechanical drives
After extended periods of use, many computers see a marked decrease in system speed. Long waits can occur both in booting the system and when opening applications. It is often difficult for ordinary users to upgrade the CPU, and the motherboard may not have available slots for the addition of more memory. In fact, the bottleneck of traditional hard drives is the disk transfer speed. Because the method by which SSDs transfer data is entirely different from that of conventional hard drives, SSDs provide markedly higher speeds. In addition, SSDs have further advantages of low heat-discharge, low power-consumption, lightweight structure, and high impact resistance, all good reasons to choose this route for computer upgrades.
Entry Level Price, Top Level Transmission Efficiency
ADATA has invested significant time and resources in the development of SSD products, and has worked tirelessly to bring to the market products that closely match consumer demands. Research has revealed that in computer operation times, a significant proportion a large portion of computing tasks involve transfers of data packets 4KB in size. This means that the performance of 4KB file transmission plays a critical role in users’ experience. The S396 runs at 44 thousand Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS) in transfers of files this size, and is the most cost competitive among similar products.
System backup tools, eliminating installation operating procedures
All purchasers of the S511 can download the free Disk Migration Utility software. It facilitates the quick transfer of all files to the new solid state drive, significantly reducing the troublesome and time-consuming process of reinstalling software and restoring data from backups.
