Was the cheapest SSD in terms of capacity at the time, with some interesting takeaways.

After installing this SSD in my system (240GB version) I was told in the drive properties that it was identified as an ADATA SP550. I found this quite interesting and googled the CrystalDiskMark results for the SP550 drive and then tested the one I got. Comparing the results, they came up with the SAME (if it wasn't for the drive, I would have gotten slightly higher scores in some tests). This leads me to believe that this drive is a rebranded ADATA SP550 drive. I think this is good news as the ADATA brand is better known than TC SUNBOW and I have used them in the past with excellent results. Many have reported terrible R/W performance compared to the drive I received. So be careful with the buyer. I've attached a screenshot of CrystalDiskMark that I pre-rendered on disk.

Pros
