Certain unforseen market conditions as well as changes have the potential to render a descision made at a certain point in time obsolete.

Checking the the performance numbers we measured up to 544 Megabyte per second for sequential reads and 508 Megabyte per second for sequential writes. Regarding random throughput the SP920 from ADATA has been able to achieve 90'000 IOPS while performing random write operations and 98'600 IOPS performing random reads. Overall the SP920 is a fast drive, actually one of the fastest we've had for testing so far. We're seriously impressed by the random read as well as write performance where the drive almost managed to break through the 100k barriert. Apart from that also sequential reads are excellent.

Now it's time to head to Geizhals.at to check the price of this drive. It turns out there are not prices listed for the 512 Gigabyte version of this drive, just yet. Nevertheless we found prices for the 128 Gigabyte as well as the 256 Gigabyte model. These models are being listed at Geizhals at 64 Euro and 113 Euro. Comparing with the competition this a really aggressive price tag and therefore the SP920 is not just one of the most powerful SSDs out there right now it's also one of the cheapest.
