Manufacturer: ADATA Technology
Provided By: ADATA Technology (USA)
ADATA Technology is one of the world's leading manufacturers of high performance memory modules and data storage solutions. Founded in 2001 with a staff of 20, this Taiwanese company set itself apart from the competition early on thanks to its professionalism, industry know-how and eye-catching product designs. Today, ADATA continues to lead the way through constant innovation and development of products that exceed customer expectations. Backed by technical expertise, state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and premium customer service, ADATA currently offers a variety of products including DRAM modules, USB flash drives, memory cards, solid state drives and portable hard drives.
This past fall, ADATA launched its XPG ATOM series SSDs. In addition to the ATOM 40 and 50, the company unveiled a new affordable, entry-level PCIe 3.0 SSD, the ATOM 30. Designed for the creative professional on a budget, this M.2 form factor drive is powered by Realtek's RTS5766DL controller and is available with up to 1TB of 3D TLC NAND flash. The ATOM 30 also features SLC caching and HMB (Host Memory Buffer) to accelerate read and write performance as well as Low-Density Parity Check (LDPC) code technology and AES 256-bit encryption to ensure data security and integrity. To top it all off, the drive is equipped with a slim, aluminum heatsink as well as a PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe 1.3 interface.
What makes the ATOM 30 stand out amongst the crowd, though, is that it can be bought by itself or as part of a kit. With the kit, you get the drive as well as a 250GB Ultimate SU670 SATA SSD that can be used to upgrade the storage in another computer. The SU670 is powered by Realtek's DRAM-less RTS5735DLQ controller and utilizes SLC caching to deliver up to 560 MB/s read and 525 MB/s write speeds. Also, like the ATOM 30, the drive uses Low-Density Parity Check (LDPC) code technology to ensure data integrity by detecting and fixing errors.
