ADATA 500 Series S510 120GB SSD Review

Keeping things nice and simple, the body of the drive is plain black with a brushed feel to it. The sticker on the front, in the company colours, shows the series and model number along with the capacity of the drive, which is shown through a portal in the box as shown on the previous page.

Turning the drive over, the sticker on the rear, has a number of barcodes and below, the disk migration utility key (which naturally we’ve blurred out). The warranty sticker is placed over one of the four screws, but we’ll take this off to have a look inside.

There are mounting screw holes on the bottom of the drive, as well as on the side of the drive, evenly spaced out.

Delving inside, we can see that ADATA have chosen to use a green PCB and on this side of the board, we find 8 16GB NAND memory ICs which populate all the space available.

On the other side, we find the Sandforce SF-2281 controller all on its own with a block of empty solder points, where an additional eight ICs can be installed, indicating to us that there is a chance of a 240GB variant of this drive appearing if ADATA wanted to broaden the range of capacities available.
