ADATA XPG SX930 240GB SSD Review

JMicron recently released their new JMF670H controller, and ADATA was quick to implement this new controller in their new XPG SX930 line of SSDs. This new offering from ADATA comes in capacities of 120, 240, and 480 GB and promises excellent performance while keeping an eye on reliable endurance. Anytime a new controller hits the market, we’re always anxious to find out how it performs. So, let’s get started and see what the ADATA XPG SX930 has in store for us.

ADATA Premier SP610 512GB SSD Review

ADATA needs no introduction as they’ve been a well-known name in the memory and storage industry for some time now. Due to the uncertainty surrounding SandForce, we’ve begun to see alternate SSD controllers being used by manufacturers that were once almost exclusively using SandForce controllers. Phison and Silicon Motion are two examples of SSD controllers that might not be well-known, but we are beginning to see them used more often. Today’s review sample utilizes the Silicon Motion (SMI) SM2246EN controller, which will be the first experience we’ve had with this controller.

ADATA XPG Z1 DDR4-2400 16GB Memory Kit Review

ADATA offers a full line of DDR4 memory ranging in speeds from 2133 MHz all the way up to 3333 MHz. Today, we’ll be looking at a 16 GB kit of their XPG Z1 DDR4 2400 MHz (Part#AX4U2400W4G16-QRZ). ADATA has sent us quite a few kits to review over the years, and we always come away impressed with their performance, overclocking ability, and stability. So, let’s get started and see if that tradition continues.

ADATA Premier Pro SP900 256GB M.2 SSD Review

Seeing motherboards with M.2 ports is nothing new as manufacturers have been doing this for some time now. Up until recently, there haven’t been many M.2 SSDs available to actually use this new technology, but we’re beginning to see memory manufacturers roll out their new offerings. M.2 SSDs come in a couple different interface options – SATA 6 GB/s or PCI-E x2/4, with the latter obviously being the faster and more expensive option. Today’s ADATA M.2 SSD sample uses the SATA 6 GB/s interface, which should perform similar to a standard 2.5″ SSD most of us have plugged into our motherboards.

ADATA XPG Z1 DDR4-2400Mhz 32GB Memory Kit Review

Memory manufacturers are on a tear as of late, rolling out a plethora of DDR4 memory products for the new X99/Haswell-E platform. Our latest review sample to arrive is the ADATA XPG Z1 DDR4-2400 MHz 32 GB kit. The kit consists of four 8 GB modules surrounded by some pretty sharp looking heatsinks. The XPG Z1 memory falls in ADATA’s gaming and overclocking family and has the slogan “Efficiency Double, Performance Unlimited” to go along with it. Translate that slogan to mean low voltage and high performance. Ok, so it all sounds good on paper, so let’s get busy and find out how it performs in the real world!

ADATA XPG V3 DDR3-2933 MHz Memory Review

Memory manufacturers continue to push the speed limits of DDR3 memory; and today, we’ll be looking at one such kit in the form of ADATA’s XPG V3 DDR3-2933 MHz kit. This ADATA offering appears to have everything the enthusiast user looks for in a high performance memory kit… and then some. There are a few other unique features the XPG V3 memory kits offer that we’ll explore as well, so let’s get going and see what ADATA has come up with!

ADATA 16GB XPG DDR3-2600 CL11 Memory Review

We recently published the ADATA XPG DDR3-2800 memory review which consisted of a memory kit based on single-sided Hynix MFR IC. Even though memory clock is high and modules are overclocking really good, overall performance on those modules is lower than expected. Today I wish to present ADATA XPG DDR3-2600 also based on Hynix MFR IC, but it’s double sided and gives us 16 GB total.

ADATA 8GB XPG DDR3-2800 Memory Kit Review

Single-sided Hynix MFR ICs have been making the rounds through various manufacturers recently. I didn’t give G.Skill a pass for them when they came through last time. They just don’t have the performance to go with the MHz due to timing compromises to make it to these kinds of frequencies. ADATA is here to give it a try this time. Let’s hope they reverse the performance sacrifices made for the MHz. Hey, if nothing else, MFR kits are always fun to see how far they can be pushed!
