Review on ADATA Ultimate SU650 120GB Solid State Drive SATA Ultimate SU650 120GB (retail) by Stanislaw Kalinowski ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Lousy product, very low quality.

The laptop is used as a matter of fact as a stationary computer, it does not move anywhere. After 3.5 months of work, I noticed that when accessing the ssd, the disk does not immediately respond, when checking in victoria hdd, aida64, crystaldiskmark, a-data tools, it shows an abnormal number of reassigned sectors (in less than a week, the indicators in attribute 5 increased from 330 to 12200), indicators in attributes 196 and 199 also increased from 5 to 195 "attempt to reassign sectors" and "cable transmission errors", while the ssd was inside the laptop all the time, the laptop was motionless, the ssd was fixed correctly when installed. I took out ssd, put hdd in its place, hdd connected to the same connector does not show any errors in the same attributes, although it worked in this laptop for more than 36 thousand hours. I rearranged it as an external ssd drive, formatted it, the bad sectors disappeared, only two at the very end of the disk (they are also found when scanning the disk surface). I installed wine 7 64 (the system was set for 50 minutes, faster on hdd), it rarely crashes (blue screen), but smart status is always good and attributes 05, 196, 199 stopped growing. Just 3 weeks after the reinstallation, it again began to slow down, heats up, makes noise, attributes 5, 196 and 199 grow again. I wanted to clone the system disk to another ssd, the programs start cloning, then a message appears that the file system is damaged, you need to check using wine 7, check, find errors, fix it, try to clone again and everything repeats. When rebooting, it is similar: the inscription that you need to check the file system, checks, finds, eliminates, and everything repeats. At the same time, the smart status is good, only after 3,000 hours of operation, the health of the ssd is 99%. After checking the ssd by the service center, a decision was made to return the money.

Pros
  • Easy. Comfortable. It was easy to install a Lenovo B590 into a laptop, and rearrange the native Seagate instead of a DVD drive. Warranty 3 years. Naturally, ssd is much faster than the old hdd in operation, although it is not as stable as hdd in my case.
Cons
  • After only three and a half months, ssd began to freeze sometimes when accessing it. Some programs stopped running, you can enter the game in games, get to the start, and then nothing happens (reinstalled the system on the old hdd and all the same games, programs run as before), Windows themselves do not always start. It began to warm up to 65 degrees (above 60 degrees the programs already show that ssd is not normal for this). At the same time, all programs show the smart status of ssd good. reinstalled wine 7, everything returned to normal (described in the comment), but after only 3 weeks everything is the same: indicators in attributes 5, 196 and 199 grow, the system falls periodically. I handed over to the service center, at that moment I worked for only 5 months.
