ADATA XPG SX300 128GB mSATA Solid State Drive Review

It doesn’t matter how good any of the synthetic suites are, the real meat of the testing has to be under absolute real world conditions. This proves difficult as to record results we have to narrow down fluctuation. Therefore while we would say these are the most useful results to get from this review, there is always going to be a slight margin for error – its not absolutely scientific.

Firstly we installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit Edition onto each of the drives and performed a clean update from Microsoft with all patches and security fixes. We then install a basic suite of software, such as Office, Firefox and Adobe Design, then we install AVG free antivirus. We used a digital watch for this startup and repeated the test five times for each drive – once we had these five results we averaged the results and took that for the final figure.

The ADATA XPG SX300 128GB mSATA drive scores the same as the MemoRight MS-701 240GB mSATA drive, with a final time of 22 seconds.

The ADATA XPG SX300 took 18 seconds to complete the level load, the same time as the MemoRight MS-701 240GB mSATA drive.
