hey this is Dimitri with Haruka Knox and today we'll take a look at an exciting solid-state drive that really challenges the concept of consumer spending per gigabyte of capacity these are the adler 320 and 640 gigabyte models along with the SSD to go pro for external SSD solutions now these are from an Austrian company angel bird that are just now making their way into our North American market and priced at a premium of 150 per gigabyte and 190 per gigabyte respectively these consumer-oriented drives may hit some roadblocks as such luxury items may be hard to justify given the existing competing SSDs are almost half the price so then what do these drives bring to the table and the main part of the equation is the new controller from Nova chips called named Bugatti maximum i/o ops for the other drives are rated for 70 K read and 60 K rights with 530 and for 50 megabytes per second respectively housed an incredibly robust aluminum casing angel bird makes sure to deliver quality for such a premium inside we find twenty-ninth ICS instead of the conventional 16 with heat path to complement the cooling now one of the disappointing aspects of these drives is angel bird opted for slower and the end which is reliable but competing drives at half the price use more superior and faster and named ICS so angel bird is really counting on the new controller to win over those few enthusiasts so the new nds 3600 a arm-based controller aka the Bugatti is more concerned with consistent and larger performance and deeper queue depth than just burst performance this is because the new 10 channel design instead of the conventional or the typical eight that has incredible advantages over consistent speeds regardless of capacity former has also been redesigned for more efficient performance meaning no cycles are wasted on low-level tasks and instead the controllers workload is dynamically adjusted based on the real-time iOS tres each adler SSD also has a moderate 7% capacity set aside so this spare space can be used for bed blocked replacement for example but most importantly allows for access to free and clean blocks whenever the drive is at almost full capacity the SSD to go pro 2.0 follows the same steps with an extremely robust aluminum frame and elegant design for those that need reliable external storage now one unique aspect of this drive is the flexibility for connectivity incorporating both USB 3.0 and eSATA options with appropriate cables included now finally let's take a look at the benchmarks and one interesting aspect of the bugatti controller is revealed here as the lower capacity SSD performed basically in line with the 640 gigabyte model this is unusual as normally larger capacity drives are marginally faster now while the results are very good you can notice that the adler drives do not dominate within the synthetic benchmarks this is because the older and slower names but it does reveal the potential of the bugatti controller as it's able to maintain performance much better than most drives the slower USB 3.0 performance on the SSD to go is the result of the Osmania USB controller with stock drivers but this drive really shines an eSATA mode as you can see it's almost on par with its internal counterparts so I gotta say that angel Burt has done many things right with the new adler drives and the SSD to go pro 2.0 starting with the excellent build quality and incorporation of 20 NAND ICS instead of the typical 16 the biggest selling point of these drives is the new Nova chips controller that has been redesigned basically from the ground up to deliver consistent performance with the 10 channel architecture instead of typical eight and our performance results reveal exactly that that's almost on par with competing drives that use the fast renamed the SSD to go pro is also an extremely attractive external solution with very good performance simply because there's nothing like it on the market now obviously angel bird's choice of man here is not optimal and the Adler drives just can't dominate because of that and that's something I'm an expectation at such a high price per gigabyte having said that the bugatti controller is impressive and we're giving the new adler SSDs the damn good award while the SSD to gopro is certainly one unique external solution with basically nothing like it on the market and deserve to damn good and damn innovative words well that is it guys for this review like from our similar content don't forget to subscribe and we'll see you in the next one
