ADATA has launched SU900 2.5” SATA 6Gb/s SSD, which signals further expansion in 3D NAND Flash storage. The SU900 delivers high-grade 3D MLC NAND and uses the SMI 2258 controller. It offers up to 2TB capacity, reinforced by performance-boosting SLC Cache Buffer and DRAM Cache and also LDPC error correction, data shaping, wear levelling, and RAID Engine for data integrity. It reaches 560MB/s read and 525MB/s write and includes a 2.5mm spacer and 3.5” bracket in the box.
SU900 lineup includes a 2TB model. However, consumers can choose 256GB, 512GB and 1TB variants based on their needs and budgets. Flash on the SU900 is high-grade 3D MLC (multi-level cell), ensuring improved reliability, longevity and performance. The SSD employs an SMI 2258 controller, pushing 560MB/s read, 525MB/s write and 85K/90K IOPS. Thanks to ADATA sorting and quality assurance, the SU900 has a TBW (total bytes written) of up to 800TB and an MTBF (mean time before failure) of 2,000,000 hours.
Like most ADATA SSDs, the SU900 has onboard DRAM Cache Buffer and SLC Cache Buffer (pSLC mode) to compensate for stress and make sure performance does not suffer undesirable dips. To minimize NAND cell wear-out, the SU900 supports data shaping, wear levelling, and RAID Engine. It also has intelligent LDPC ECC (low-density parity check error-correcting code) to eliminate the vast majority of potential data errors. Consequently, the SU900 not only vastly outperforms mechanical drives but also exponentially more dependable in the long term.
The standard 7mm height and 2.5” form factor of the SU900 fits any ultrabook, notebook, and the PS4/PS4 Pro, making for a quick and smooth swap-in upgrade. The retail box also contains a 2.5mm spacer/riser for a better fit in 9.5mm tall drive bays, as well as a 3.5” bracket.
The SSD is covered by a 5-year warranty.
