I really like the idea of mSATA solid state drives. While they have not really caught on that much on the desktop market now that M.2 is here, they have great applications in laptops and smaller form factor PCs like the Gigabyte BRIX that we recently...

and Rating So what did we think of the ADATA SX300? Well overall we have been very impressed. ADATA have build a solid drive for mSATA use here with a mature controller and their own custom firmware. We don't see the point of including a 60day Norton...

Based on a SandForce SF-2281 controller and four synchronous 32 Gigabyte NAND flash chips, ADATA has quite a powerful mSATA SSD in its portfolio. This drive should be able to boost notebooks, which feature an mSATA slot or even desktop PC's which come...

The mSATA form factor is rising in popularity and more manufacturers are releasing high performance drives to target the growing audience. Today we are looking at the latest drive from ADATA, the XPG SX300 128GB.In June we looked at the mSATA and...

For me, new technology is exciting. While SSDs are not “new” the mSATA form factor is relatively new. For motherboards that support mSATA gone is the need for a traditional style hard drives. The drive will mount directly to the board. This opens a whole...

Over recent years, mSATA drives have typically been a component that has not been on the forefront of the consumer market, seen only really by OEM manufacturers or by those who opened up their systems. With the market shifting towards smaller and smaller...

The ADATA XPG SX300 and Intel 525 Series brings the SandForce SF-2281 experience to the tiny mSATA form factor without missing a...

The first mSATA-based SSDs we reviewed wowed us with diminutive dimensions, but not as much with performance. Today's best efforts are a lot more like their desktop equivalents, though. We round up 10 models between 64 and 256 GB and nail down a...

Even though I wasn't able to fully stretch the legs of the ADATA SX300 128GB mSATA SSD since my mSATA port is only SATA2, I still feel like the visible performance is very comforting. Most likely, this drive will be used in a laptop or other small...

The ADATA XPG SX300 is, without a doubt, one of the top mSATA SSDs we have tested and it's performance is as much of a positive as the ability to manufacturer a ‘LSI SandForce Driven' mSATA SSD in typical binary capacities. For those LSI SandForce...

We were kind of expecting it, but it's nice to see concrete proof that mSATA SSDs are as fast as their 2.5-inch counterparts, despite their small size. The Adata SX300 128GB scores almost exactly the same in every benchmark as the Adata SX900 128GB...

By thessdreview.com on September 04, 2012

The ADATA SX300 is yet another great SSD addition into the mSATA community and its use of the LSI SandForce FSP has resulted in it being a top tier mSATA SSD. Although we have yet to confirm the NAND flash memory in use, the combination of controller and...
