A-DATA has announced the market’s largest Solid State Drive with its 512GB XPG model. A-DATA’s new SSD uses the SATA interface and even if the focus is on storage capacity A-DATA hasn’t forgotten about performance. XPG 512GB sports read speeds up to 230MB/s while the write speed will peak at 160MB/s, which is on par with the fastest MLC-based drives today. Not bad for a minimalistic 2.5″ harddrive weighing only 85g. Unfortunately the price tag will be just as impressive.
