ADATA SU800-1 256GB Solid State Drive (SSD), black

The difference in speed is incredible, really snappy performance and very useable again.
Superb piece of kit - used this to convert a customers slow and old HDD to new and quick SSD on a macbook pro.
The 256Gb version and higher have the better write 560/520mbps speeds compared to the lower Gb ADATA SSD's which drop down to 560/300mbps. And you can notice the difference.
Work well. Faster than many in speed tests
Very happy with the speed and the price is excellent. Will buy again.

ADATA SU650-1

It has not failed yet. I have it set up as mainly my OS drive and I have another HDD for storage. It's fast and makes windows 10 run smooth.
Great drive. Works well, and is very fast.
Very affordable price for the quality of this SSD. Pc starts up like a dime running windows 10 off of this ssd.
This SSD seemed to be great value so gave it ago, installed it without any difficulties and is working great (early days), laptop feels more responsive with boot up times into Windows 10 noticeably improved.
Adata's RMA process is a hassle, and YOU pay return shipping. The SU650 120gig is likely a defective model, and I think Adata knows it.
This drive has failed at multiple locations for us. Go with the blue labeled drives by Adata instead. this drive definitely has a problem.

What customers say about "Features"

ADATA SU800-1 256GB Solid State Drive (SSD), black

It features intelligent SLC caching and a DRAM cache buffer to boost read/write up to 560 MB/s and 520 MB/s.
It took about an hour to clone my original hard drive (bought a USB to SATA cable at the same time); and it was a very easy and quick (10 mins max) to swap the drives.
In terms of backing up your data, ADATA provides a tool to clone your old drive onto the new one.
Fitting is dead easy but will obviously depend on your laptop / desktop. It was easy in mine, got the bottom cover off, few screws and the disk tray was out.
This drive has been fitted to 2 laptops and seen 3 operating systems with no issues (I like to test my kit!).

ADATA SU650-1

ADATA SSDs have always been my first choice. ALWAYS AS FAST AS ADVERTISED!!! NO FAILURES.
It doesn't have the look or feel of a premium product, packaging is adequate and the drive itself is best described as hollow feeling plastic, don't let this put you off - it comes across as a good value product.
Very fast boot up times of around 36 to 40 seconds on my system, with no loading or stutters from apps once on the desktop, ready to go once desktop is loaded with instant performance :)
I set it aside for a year and a half not needing it after all. Now that I do need it, it is dead.
