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

Like the headline says, it arrived bent! Why? Because: 1. Shoddy construction consisted of a bottom thin metal shell and a plastic top shell, which makes it much less sturdy when compared to other SSDs out on the market. 2. Blister packaging. Again, plastic to protect electronic components isnt exactly the best practice out there. I tested the drive in an external enclosure and it did boot up, but the risk of sudden failure wasnt worth the hassle of keeping it and wondering when it would suddenly die WITH YOUR PRECIOUS DATA. Fortunately, Amazon took it back easily. This is not worth it, especially considering the other problems with DRAMless SSDs and endurance issues with QLC nand.

super fast easy to install

It was very easy to use, just had to plug it in to an empty storage slot and it worked as soon as it got power

This SSD will speed up your computer!

This is one of the fastest hard you can buy at this price.

After 1 year temperatures spiked to 125 degrees and performance was down to 2 MB/s transfer Had to order Samsung 860 EVO as replacement - should not have failed that quickly

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

Good enough for its price. I tested the speed 3 times. The Read Speed: ~540MB/s, Write Speed: ~406MB/s. 4KiBQ8T8 Read Speed is important, and ADATA SU630 has only 67MB/s. 67MB/s is too slow comparing to Samsung 860 EVO, which has ~ 400MB/s of 4KiBQ8T8 Read Speed. If you look for a quality and durable SSD, I suggest: GO for Samsung SSD 860 EVO or PRO.

For 30$ its a lot faster and nicer

Pros: reasonably inexpensive and a good value. Cons: Not as fast as others I purchased this drive to replace an ailing mechanical hard drive on a older system. It is easy to install but it came with no screws or mounting hardware. You really cannot expect that for what you are paying. The install went rather smoothly and all the software loaded up fine. I was expecting a much faster response from an SSD but as this is an economy drive you realistically can’t expect that for the price. This is a drive only packaging and it is no frills. As I said earlier I expected it to be a little faster than it was but it is still much faster than a mechanical hard drive.
