A-DATA Technology, a worldwide leader in high performance DRAM module, memory card, USB Flash Drive, and Data Storage, announced today its new 2.5” SATAII SSD 300 Plus, a next generation Solid State Drive with performance significantly increased.
Highly durable with performance dramatically enhanced
Adopting the latest breakthroughs in SSD technology and new controller design, the new 300 Plus SSD dramatically increases the performance on data-reading speed by 40% while writing by 60% at least when comparing with a regular SSD!! Unlike ordinary SSD, the new 300 Plus SSD utilizes a special mobile SDRAM to achieve a sustained read rate at 250MB/sec and write rate at 160MB/sec. The mobile SDRAM serves the function of cache buffer where frequently used data are stored so that the system does not have to fetch data from the main storage area each time it’s called.
