ADATA SSD 240GB 2.5 SATA SU630 - ASU630SS-240GQ-R, Internal SSD Storage

Works well, noticeably much faster than the HDD I replaced with it.

This is only the second SSD Ive ever owned, so maybe theres nothing wrong with it. The first one I bought (an Adata 120GB) has always run rather cool. However, this one tends to show high spikes in temperature (up to 128F) when its working hard. Ive removed the cover from the PC and blow air into the case to keep it cool. My theory: more chips producing heat within a confined space means the heat accumulates quickly and dissipates slowly.

For 30$ its a lot faster and nicer

I got 3 of these and put them in RAID0 to give me 1.30TB of useable space. In RAID0 Im getting around 1GB read and write speeds. Its like a ghetto nvme drive! Goodbye mechanical drives, it was a long, slow ride.

For the low price I paid for this drive the speeds are great for basic laptop or desktop use, obviously much better then using a traditional hard drive. Even the smallest size of this drive is very fast. The endurance is lower then other drives you can buy but shouldnt be a problem for normal laptop or desktop use just to browse the web / edit documents and other basic tasks for a couple years till you are going to replace the computer in question anyways. This is one of the first QLC drives on the market. QLC stores 4 bits per cell versus previous TLC (3 bits per cell) , and MLC (2 bits per cell). Because of the difficulty from storing more bits per cell the amount of times it can reuse / rewrite over each area is decreased vs TLC / MLC, but modern solid state drives do a good job of leveling the wear across the whole drive so this shouldnt be an issue for normal use inside a laptop or a desktop for a couple of years, but this drive should not be used in a server nor in any situation where the whole drive gets frequently erased or rewritten. There is a good short news article on anandtech about this specific drive that mentioned that it uses NAND from Intel which should be very high quality because Intel is already using their QLC NAND in drives it is selling to large enterprise customers. The drive uses a Maxio controller with pseudo-SLC caching which seemed to work well as the drive met its quoted write specs. I purchased the 240gb drive which is the smallest size because i am only using this in a work laptop. Even though the 240gb version is the smallest size it is still very fast and as fast as the larger sizes. The drive did not warm up at all when running crystal diskmark for a few minutes. As you can see from the attached picture of the cystal diskmark results it read at 560MB/s and wrote at 478MB/s which is slightly faster read then in the specs, and almost as fast as sata3-600MB/s allows. I ran crystal diskmark an hour after installing windows 10, so the drive may have had time to fully refresh the cache.

Bought this for my younger brothers laptop, installed windows 10 in just a few minutes, and runs fine.

I bought this SSD at a retail store as a replacement for an aging harddrive on a laptop. Ive tried using multiple apps to migrate the OS to the new drive but always seemed to get hit up with an upgrade option, so I downloaded NIUBI Partition Editor Free Edition, and it worked like a charm. It was so simple, plus if you need help there are tutorials, which in my opinion is unneeded even for a noob like me. If you plan to migrate all of your OS and apps to the new drive, you will need a transport cable. I used Sabrent 2.5 Sata Hard Drive/SSD to USB 3.0 Adapter, which you can find here on Amazon for about $9.00. Boot up time average is 8-10 seconds, and apps open up faster than with the older HDD drive. Ive looked at benchmarks for other drives and thought, why not give this SSD a try.

Great drives for the money copied 200 gigs of data at probably 200mbs to each of these 250 and 450 gigabyte ssds just put them in a rugged little enclosure and your set! Cant beat the price!

SSD is working good. Good value for the money.

For the money, it is a good solid state drive. No issues and easy to install. Unless you need tons of storage, this is a good hard drive. Would buy again without hesitation
