One of today's biggest uses for a Solid State Drive is as a crucial part of many gamers' machines. Whether gamers are looking to gain an advantage over their opponent by being the first to spawn in a map or just by reducing general load times to increase their playing duration, a fast storage drive is imperative.
We used a stopwatch to measure the time it took for the Battlefield 3 game to load to its campaign menu screen and rounded the value to the nearest whole number.
The results of Kingston's V100 and our Intel SRT-based configuration are sufficiently close to leave an outright winner as undeclared. Both setups achieve excellent sub-30 second load times, allowing enthusiasts to game – not wait.
Over a minute wait is required for a HDD-based system – more than double that of its SSD counterparts. A 63% time reduction can be achieved by caching ADATA's SP300 SSD with the Seagate 7200.12.
Why do you always review ADATA products? they are nowhere to be found, even if i wanted them.
This is overpriced, so im not interested in a caching drive, not as SSD drive prices are the lowest ever.
Its a nice idea, but its never taken off. SSD prices are really good now. I dont understand why ADATA think this product is worth so much for such a tiny size.
I think its a niche product and its good to see them releasing one. I was concerned about the price and went to look to see if I could find it for cheaper, but I cant find it anywhere, so hard to know if the price is better locally. Not available!
