Lite-On dual-module mSATA SSD achieves up to 942MB/s

Acer is shipping S7 ultrabooks with a quite impressive mSATA solid state disk from Lite-On. This 256GB SSD consists of two separate disks, each side of the module has 128GB of NAND flash memory and its own Marvell 88S9175 SATA 6Gbps controller. This unusual dual-unit design results in very fast performance for this ultrabook, in ATTO the disk pushes up to 942MB/s in read and 683MB/s in write performance.

Taking a look at ATTO it is able to push 942MB/s read and 683MB/s write performance from an ultraportable, the SSD review says. It gets better yet as this SSD has weeks of use on it and over 750GB in total writes. This is the performance of a system that has been under the guns of many reviewers already. Crystal DiskMark might be just a bit lower and those are definitely the lowest 4K-QD32 reads we have seen in a while but, the low 4K random writes are the highest we have ever seen from testing here at The SSD Review; once again from one of the worlds smallest ultrabooks in the world.

Heading off to the Hondura’s now and the son is pretending not to prepare for one heck of a party while we are gone.  Stay tuned as we get you an update on return and also throw in a complete review on the Acer S7 Ultrabook.
