It looks like the Adata XM11. <br />Can you confirm that please?<br />Do you have 256GB or 128GB?<br />And which concrete type do you have please?<br />I am asking because there are two versions, with Sandisk U100 and Adata XM11, since are solved problems with sandforce chipset then Adata XM11 is much much faster. But there is no change to know what type you get before unpacking...<br /><br />Many many thanks.<br />q-jinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372216872752218746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508386432750536714.post-64824006541644048892012-08-14T11:47:51.355-07:002012-08-14T11:47:51.355-07:00My UX31A has alot of light bleed but is only reall...My UX31A has alot of light bleed but is only really noticable during startup.Snophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12577426330088659672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508386432750536714.post-82137541392055073052012-07-03T07:55:16.717-07:002012-07-03T07:55:16.717-07:00I didn't see much light bleed - are you talkin...I didn't see much light bleed - are you talking about behind the computer, around the keyboard, or around the screen?tribixbitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593941984420287813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508386432750536714.post-38447301846171099312012-07-03T07:39:06.712-07:002012-07-03T07:39:06.712-07:00btw. did you look for light bleed on the UX31A?
