Review on ADATA SU800 256GB SSD: High Speed Read & Write, 3D-NAND, SATA III, 560MB/s & 520MB/s by Chris Smotherman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Speeds are great, but there are a few issues.

Well after ordering a new laptop I was fed up that it only had a 5400rpm hard drive. Then I saw an m.2 slot for SSD speeds. Unfamiliar with this technology, I bought the cheapest SSD available. This SSD ADATA m.2 was recognized immediately. I had problems with the cloning software that came with it, so I used more reliable software and cloned my boot partition and game to the device. The read/write time corresponds to the declared one. It's getting a little warm, but hasn't reached a temperature that could shorten the life of the drive. There was a pressure I can't handle. There were several cases where the SSD was not recognized by the laptop. After uninstalling and reinstalling it worked fine again. Four stars are justified for the price. It's far from perfect, but when it's right, it works like lightning. I would recommend this drive to beginners who want to experiment with this new technology. In the near future I will buy a device with a larger capacity. I recommend it to people who are new to m.2 ssd. At this price point, if you screw it up, it's not a huge loss. Be careful, the attached clone info didn't work for me. So get ready to use a more complete cloning software.
