ADATA XPG SX900 128GB SSD Full Review - Low Cost SandForce
PCPer File Copy Test
Our custom PCPer-FC test does some fairly simple file creation and copy routines in order to test the storage system for speed. The script creates a set of files of varying sizes, times the creation process, then copies the same files to another partition on the same hard drive and times the copy process as well. There are four file patterns that we used to try and find any strong or weak points in the hardware: 10 files @ 1000 MB each, 100 files @ 100 MB each, 500 files @ 10 MB each and 1000 files at 1 MB each.
There is some scatter within the field of 6Gb/sec units, but on the whole the SX900 holds up very well.

Firmware 5.0.2a still has issues and they were resolved in 5.0.3. The newest SandForce firmware is 5.0.5 and it's very good. Too bad ADATA can't get their firmware act together.
I have tested my SSD with newest SandForce firmware 5.0.5
Having troube on that one as well. B-S-O-D :(
You guys can download IOMeter 2010 from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/iometer/files/iometer-devel/1.1.0-rc1/
Play around with it and tested 4K random write via IOMeter 2010
See if you have same test result
32G SSD => BSOD, 0xF4
64G SSD => BSOD, 0xF4
bty, can someone tell me where we can download 5.0 B?
One of my friend said 5.0 B will be available shortly.
Is this truth?
I think I'm going to get this SSD for my next build, looks promising and good for the price! I'm a casual PC gamer!
ADATA just releases updated firmware for SX900 SSD drive. It is now at Firmware 5.0.7a

Adata Firmware 5.0.7a release notes do not metion anything about TRIM being fixed... WTF?
"ADATA first with SandForce 5.0.7a firmware, TRIM enabled for ADATA SSDs"
This is the headline I've been seeing, I assume that TRIM issue have been addressed and that this update has fixes found in previous firmware except the one that was pulled from breaking TRIM.
Purchased 2 drives in January 3013. Went online to get info on how to properly setup the OS (enable TRIM etc). Also used the wipe free space feature of ccleaner. CrystalMark always gave me good results except for write speed which is around 250 instead of 500 like the read speed.
Bottom line, I had the expected performance even without this firmware. I'll install it tonight but cant see myself getting much of a boost (write speed).
