Adata SX950 SSDs offer 3D MLC flash and fast speeds

The days of the high-performance SATA SSD may be dimming, thanks to NVMe M.2 drives' ever-smaller physical sizes and prices and their higher overall performance. In a couple of years, most new enthusiast systems will probably boot from NVMe drives, relegating SATA ports to handling hard drives for bulk storage. Adata thinks there's still life left in high-performance SATA drives, though, and its XPG SX950 SATA SSDs are designed to deliver high performance storage over the SATA 6Gbps bus. The SX950 is the company's first 2.5" SATA SSD to use 3D MLC flash memory, which the company says allows for higher density, increased performance, and higher durability over its other offerings. The drives are available in the usual 240GB, 480GB, and 960GB capacities.
