ADATA nam je na test poslala svoj SP550 SSD kapaciteta 240 GB. Riječ e o liniji SSD-a predstavljenoj prošle godine, koji donose Silicon Motionov SM2256 kontroler i SK Hynixov TLC NAND proizveden u 16 nm proizvodnom procesu. ADATA pozicionira ove diskove kao entry level u njihovoj Premier seriji, a samim time im je i cijena vrlo povoljna. U SP550 seriji se nalaze četiri različita modela kapaciteta 120, 240, 480 i 960 GB.

Disk dolazi u malenoj kartonskoj kutiji koja kroz prozorčić nudi pogled na uređaj, a uz njega dolazi i brzi vodič za instalaciju i početak rada s uređajem te adapter koji ga čini kompatibilnim sa 7 mm ladicama (laptopi). Adapter je plastičan a na sebi ima 3M ljepljivu traku uz pomoć koje ga lijepimo za disk. Softverska podrška uključuje ADATA Toolbox aplikaciju za kontrolu i nadzor rada, te Acronis True image HD aplikaciju za migraciju podataka - obje aplikacije je potrebno skinuti s interneta. Jamstvo na uređaj je trogodišnje.

SP550 dolazi u potpuno plastičnom kućištu dimenzija 100.45 x 69.85 x 7 mm, i mase 47.5 grama. Proizvođač navodi performanse za 240 GB model kako slijedi: do 560 MB/s za čitanje i do 510 MB/s za zapis kada su u pitanju linearne performanse, te 75.000 IOPS-a i za čitanje i za zapis kada su u pitanju nasumične 4K performanse. Sučelje je klasično SATA 6 Gbps, disk radi s AHCI upravljačkim programima, podržava Trim naredbu, podržava i LDPC ECC mehanizam (low density parity check error correction) koji pomaže očuvati dugovječnost triple-level cell NAND-a jer ima veće stope "raw bit" pogrešaka. Sa strane menadžmenta potrošnje energije, kontroler podržava Slumber u DevSleep metode.

Unutar SP550 se nalazi dobro poznati Silicon Motionov SM2256 kontroler koji je prilagođen za upotrebu s TLC NAND-om. A upravo je TLC (triple-levell cell) NAND u ovome disku i to SK Hynix-ov proizveden u 16 nm proizvodnom procesu. TLC kao što znamo ima niži životni vijek od MLC-a, pa se koristi u entry-level modelima, no i dalje je riječ o uređajima koji mogu izdržati zapis veće količine podataka što će prosječnim korisnicima biti i više no dovoljno. TLC primjerice koristi i Toshiba, tj. OCZ u njihovim Trion 100/150 diskovima koji su upravo i konkurencija ovome ADATA-inom proizvodu.

Svaki proizvođač SSD-a koji drži do sebe mora imati i kvalitetnu softversku podršku pa tako i ADATA ima svoj SSD Toolbox. Posljednja je verzija (u trenutku pisanja teksta), 2.4.0 te je podijeljena u pet polja - Drive Info, Diagnostics, Utilities, System Optimization i System Info. Prvo polje nudi detaljne informacije o disku, zapunjenost, TBW informaciju (Total Bytes Written), trenutnu temperaturu diska, zdravlje od 0 do 100% i preostali životni vijek u istom tom rasponu, a tu su i SMART detalji. Dijagnostika uključuje brzi i puni scan diska, a korisniku je ostavljena mogućnost notifikacije o previsokoj temperaturi te minimalnom procijenjenom životnom vijeku.

Pod Utilities se nalazi Secure Erase funkcija, mogućnost nadogradnje firmware-i toolbox aplikacije, kao i pregled Expert loga. Pod optimizacije spada mogućnost ručnog pokretanja Trim naredbe, ali i optimizacije funkcija operativnog sistema koje nisu potrebne ukoliko koristimo SSD, što će uvelike pomoći manje iskusnim korisnicima. Posljednji Sys info nudi osnovne informacije o softveru i hardveru računala.

Način testiranja

adata_sp550_240gb_6

Disk sko testirali na dvije platforme a razlika u performansama je bila minimalna. Prilikom testiranja je radio s AHCI driverima, što su mu dodijelili Windowsi 8.1. Uz sve standardne testove koje provodimo tu je i simulacija četiriju situacija uz pomoć I/O Metera – Database sa 67% čitanja i 33% zapisa, Workstation sa 80% čitanja i 20% zapisa, Web Servera sa 100% čitanja i File Servera sa 80% čitanja i 20% zapisa, nakon čega ispisujemo broj izmjerenih IOPS-a. Savjeti za svakodnevnu operativu SSD-a pod Windows OS-om uključuju isključivanje stvari kao što su indeksiranje diska, zatim isključivanje prefetcha i Superfetcha te defragmentiranja koje je sasvim nepotrebno.

Zaključak

adata_sp550_240gb_7

SP550 je zamišljen kao entry-level linija SSD-a koja donosi jeftiniji TLC NAND, SMI kontroler, jednostavno plastično kućište (dosta se zagrijavao tijekom testova (i do 52°C), no u radu se temperatura nije podizala iznad 40°C), ali i performanse koje su dostatne za prosječnog kućnog korisnika. Kao što smo iz testova vidjeli, performanse čitanja su u pravilu sasvim solidne, dok je brzina zapisa ta koja je niža i koja pada već u sfere mehaničkih diskova. Ipak, gledano u prosjeku ovaj disk dolazi kao dobra zamjena klasičnim tvrdim diskovima, pri čemu je svakako mehanički znatno otporniji od njih. S druge strane, SP550 serija je i po cijeni koštanja jednog gigabajta prostora svakako najbliža tim istim mehaničkim diskovima. Tako ćete u hrvatskoj za 120 GB model izdvojiti 300 kn, za ovaj 240 GB model 500 kn, za 490 GB oko 950 kn, dok će vas 960 GB model koštati nešto viših 2.600 kuna. SP550 je tako jedna od najjeftinijih serija SSD-a koja će samo zbog toga privući mnogo kupaca, kojima će biti dovoljno i trogodišnje jamstvo koje proizvođač daje. Sa strane konkurencije, kao što smo u grafovima vidjeli OCZ-ov Trion 100 je pri tome sličnih performansi ali i nešto skuplji (Trion 150 je brži ali i do 200 kuna skuplji za 240 GB model). Na kraju ćemo mu, kao i Trionu 100 240 GB dati preporuku, no ne zbog performansi nego prvenstveno radi cijene.
