The drive ships in a plain looking box with the name of the product on the front and little other information.
The bundle is basically non existent. A quick installation guide and a few mounting screws.
The drive itself ships inside a metal case, which is quite attractive. Details of the product are listed on the rear.
Opening the chassis is straightforward and the PCB is held in place by 4 tiny screws.
MemoRight are using the SF1222TA3-SBH controller which is a last generation SandForce design. This means the drive is a SATA 3Gbps product and will not compete with the latest designs. The SF-1222 processor was used in the ADATA S599, OCZ Vertex 2, Patriot Inferno and the Corsair Force (among others).
There are eight NAND flash modules on the PCB. Sandforce controllers offer native TRIM support in Windows 7, as well as Native Command Queuing with 32 command slots. Self Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) are also offered. We have covered this technology before, and it is slightly disappointing to see an older Sandforce design in a new product release for the enthusiast market.
DIdnt they make blank CD’s, I swear I saw some locally….
Needs to be under £100 for it be a useful buy for people. Even those who dont have a SATA 6Gbps controller wouldn’t opt for a SATA 3GBps drive as they would want future proofing in case they moved systems in a few months.
Price is the only thing they should focus on, and thats way over the odds.
Ill pass. Might have been good 14 months ago……. they are a chinese company however, so they clearly dont have their finger on the pulse.
They will probably sell a ton of these into the enterprise market at a fraction of the price.
Wouldnt worry about it, not for sale anywhere I can see anyway!
Its a clear way to shift old stock, I can’t imagine this move would work well in China either, as I know they are pretty up to date on tech hardware. Unless they sold them into a company making a lot of laptops with SATA 3 ports, dont see them selling well. its last gen tech without a good ‘sticker’ from a leading manu such as OCZ.
SSD market is still small however, …..
Well thats more than a little disappointing. Seems they arent up to date at all.
Why not review their lastest SATA III FTM Plus SSD? As I know this FTM-25 SATA II SSD was launched around one year ago.
Kitguru spoke with Memoright after this review was published. We received our sample from a retailer and have since learned that Memoright have a new range of Solid State Drives with Sata 6Gbps performance. We hope to get one for review soon.
This product is still being sold however so its a valid review.
The SSD I used now is Memoright FTM-25 SSD 115GB. I bought it last year, so It is obviously FTM-25 is not a new product from Memoright. The performance and reliability for this SSD is quite good. I ever saw a review on Tom’s Hardware and Memoright FTM-25 got a good ranking among several SATA II SSDs, so I bought this SSD. Personally, I think it is not fair that comparing SATA II SSD with SATA III SSD.
Oh grow up. If its still being sold, and its full price, its not fair to the poor saps who could get a drive at twice the speed for almost the same price.
