ADATA has launched two new lines of SSDs in the US and Canada. The new storage devices include the SP900 and SP800 series. Both SSDs use new optimized firmware that allows them to take advantage of the greater storage capacity of integrated NAND flash components and offer impressive performance.

The SP900 line has a maximum sequential read and write speed of 550/520 MB per second with random 4K writes of 85,000 IOPS. The flash drive comes in multiple storage capacities, including 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB. The flash drives are aimed at notebooks and other uses that support the SATA 6 Gb per second specification.

The Premier SP800 is a SATA II compliant SSD that has 32 GB and 64 GB capacity. Its maximum sequential read and write speeds are 280/260 MB per second. Maximum random 4K write speeds are up to 44,000 IOPS. Pricing on both new SSDs is unannounced.
