Final Thoughts
Pros:
- Great compressible data performance
Cons:
- Poor incompressible performance
- Steady state performance suffers
- Freezes and crashes due to controller
Overall, I was not very impressed with the ADATA Premier Pro SP900. Although the compressible data numbers matched the 555/530MB/s claims, incompressible data wasn’t even close. After using the drive for just a week, HD Tune showed erratic performance results, which when combined with the constant crashing and freezing caused by the Sandforce 2281 controller, makes sense. And at its current $190 price tag, there are better drives for the money.
Raid-1 vs Raid-0 there I saw data as very important and donbuilg the failure rate was not something I wanted to do.My SSD really blows your raid-0 out of the water when we talk about reads and the more random they become the better. Although I’ve read crystal disk mark isn’t the best for testing drives anyways just the easiest to do.
