The A-DATA S599 64GB is large enough as a boot drive for Windows PCs, or could be used to speed up and quieten down a laptop. To stay competitive against the likes of Corsair’s Force Series 3, for example, it needs to drop its price by at least £30 in...

The was the second SandForce SSD we tested, but that was all the way back in March. Quite a lot has changed since then with all of the SandForce partners; the products are now more refined and the competition of a saturated market has led to more v...

RAID isn’t for everyone, but nearly everyone has the ability to use this as another tool to achieving better system performance. Intel and AMD have been giving this capability away in their chipsets for a few years now and it is even found in many o...

We managed to get the first review of a SandForce SF-1200 product out before anyone else when the went up just last week. At the time we were planning on the A-DATA S599 arriving before the Corsair drive which came in unannounced and was a great s...

A-DATA has been a well established company in the memory and flash market for a long time, so it comes as no surprise that they are offering SSDs too. Their S599 128 GB SSD is based on Sandforce's SF-1222 controller which is the latest and greatest ava...
