小結：Finetune完畢、且具備穩定效能的固態硬碟產品。
Final Words: Fine-tuned, Stable Performance, more than a MLC SSD.
從測試的成績來看，威剛這款XPG SSD 192GB，同樣是屬於MLC顆粒的產品。雖然一般玩家對於SLC、MLC兩者孰優孰劣，仍有一定程度的歧見，不過在這款產品的測試結果來看，採用了JMicron控制器的威剛XPG SSD 192GB，依然提供了相當快速的讀寫速度，在讀取/寫入測試當中，分別可達170MB/s以及100MB/s（而且還是剛剛好 XD 一點也不多），速度比起目前主流的產品，還要再快上一些，並具備mini-USB Port的設計，整體而言算是一款表現相當OK的產品。不過眼尖的玩家也會注意到寫入部份的起伏，這在MLC顆粒的產品中，目前仍是無解的問題，如果只是一般應用，其實影響並不十分明顯，測試過程中也都能保持順暢，如果玩家們有意購入SSD固態硬碟，建議先檢視自身需求之後，再來選購會是比較明智的選擇。
From the test result, we know that the A-DATA XPG SSD 192GB is using MLC Flash as the storage space, although the enthusiast have different comments on the SLC/MLC, but as the performance testing, the XPG SSD 192GB with JMicron controller still have a stable performance in the testing, the speed can reach the offical stated 170MB/s in read and 110MB/s in write (with ATTO Disk Benchmark), in the normal usage, this gear can meet most of the demands. But some user may find a vibration issue in the writing test, but for now it is the MLC limitation, just for you guys as reference.
目前市面上的主流SSD，其實讀寫速度都差不多，剩下的只是價格、保固在做取捨，希望威剛這款不會太高貴！ 有什麼不同的地方~我先看一下! 192gb
真神奇的容量 :victory:... :victory:... :victory:... 價格會不會是王道呢??
:lol
期待期待XD :call:.. :call:.. :call:.. 威剛在記憶體上的優越品質~想必SSD也有不錯的效能~價格就是唯一決定的關鍵:time:... 感謝分享 感覺會很高貴耶
希望價錢不會太嚇人 一切都安好~
價格是關鍵!?
