And compared to the ADATA XM11 SSD, the Sandisk falls apart in six out of the eight categories. Only SanDisk's Sequential READ/WRITES stand out compared to my old Intel SATA-II SSD but in all other categories the SanDisk loses, and particularly loses in the overall total scores. That is pretty poor performance for a 6Gb/s SATA-III SSD pitted against a SATA-II drive. It seems my year-old Intel X25m SATA-II SSD (3Gb/s) out-performs the SanDisk SATA-III SSD (6Gb/s) in most bench categories. Unless there are undisclosed reliability issues or existing SandForce controller problems with the ADATA XM11, I cannot understand why ASUS in striving for high-performance in their UX31 and then puts the much lower-performing SanDisk U100 SSD in tandem with Intel's Gen2 i7-2677m, 1.80/2.90GHz Turbo2 processor. The numbers suggest that the SanDisk U100 performance is worst than 2nd tier SSDs. Based on both personal testing and the test results from and other reviews - it seems that the ADATA XM11 256GB SSD is significantly better in performance in most benchmark categories than the SanDisk U100. After receiving mine and discovering a SanDisk SSD inside, I did more research and testing. After some extensive research on the ASUS UX31e-DH72, I bought one based primarily on the several ASUS & ADATA news releases touting their partnership and plans to incorporate the SandForce-driven ADATA XM11 SSD in the UX31 ZenBook.
