ADATA Ultimate SU800 - SATA III 3D NAND Solid State Drive (SSD) - High Read 560 MB/s & Fast Write 520 MB/s Speeds - Intelligent SLC Caching - Energy Efficient & Shock Resistant - ASU800SS-512GT-C

For my programming and media uses, I picked this 1TB SSD because of the speed and the fact I wanted an onboard memory/hard drive device for my raspberry PI. I find it very reliable, very responsive when retrieving documents, and I am able to do things like write programs while blasting my music, stored on the SSD (I have close to 5000 songs loaded on my card) and using the VLC player, I've created playlists where I can just leave the songs crank on my three-speaker system that was part of one of my windows PC media centers, so it has its own power source and doesn't draw it from the raspberry PI card, and right and run my own code. I've been running it now for close to three weeks nonstop as I now use my raspberry PI as my main computer, and I've had no issues with the memory card at all. I've had no lost files I've had no corrupted areas, and the SSD card comes up immediately. The only thing I wish I could've done differently, and this is due to my inexperience in Raspberry and forgetful of my UNIX days, is to properly set the card up so that my device just boots from the microSD card and everything else is stored on the SSD memory. What I wish I could've done differently was as soon as I created the first partition was to format the SSD into a 1TB partition rather than let it create thousands of partitions as I add new files and programs. No I gave this card a three star rating or ease of installation because when you look at the photo and the lack of anything in the description, it seemed like it would fit one of the cases that I purchased, but when I got it I was rudely awakened to the fact that it does not fit. So my advice to you is unless you plan to 3D print your own case, if you are used to an open air system for your raspberry PI, then this actually would be a five star installation. But be careful when trying to purchase a case to enclose this SSD card. My next raspberry PI will use the shorter SSD cards and they will fit in a double height case.

I was looking at using this SSD from a build that I was told to get and I got to hand it to a data they definitely know how to make a good product I use this as one of my system hard drives so when the computer turns on it turns on quick however this is only a two hundred gigabyte I really was in between deciding if I wanted to get it mdot2 or get something like this the value was there and I could not afford a 1 terabyte SSD m. 2 until then I was deciding to get this the su800 is very reliable I was able to install it very easily on the back it has four screws to screw it to the chase the cables fit nice and easy the only problem and con that I have with this product is I wish you would have sent me a SSD cable with it I've been noticing even with my other SSD hard drive nobody sends you the cables I don't know if that's a certain thing special thing however I believe if you're paying for a product such as a hard drive they should send you one of the cables with it other than that this is a great product I recommend it to everybody just make sure you guys understand the gigabytes of how much storage you're actually getting and the opportunity of using this on the system files so it could start up quicker

Amazon provided timely delivery and adequate packaging with their usual air pillows. ADATA's packaging included a plastic tray slid into a reasonably-sized box containing: one SSD, one adapter plate (e.g. used within some laptops to adjust for drive thickness) and one booklet - no drive screws included (generally not required for drive swaps or laptop installations whereby existing screws are often re-purposed). Light in mass (essentially SMT electronics and a flash chip on a PCB housed within a plastic case), the SSD securely mounted into a separately purchased 2.5"/3.5" drive adapter caddy (which came with HDD screws) and easily slid into my legacy desktop's drive bay. It accepted standard SATA power and data cable connections. Turning on my PC and entering BIOS, the new drive was automatically recognized. The drive was readily partitioned and formatted by Windows during a fresh install of W10P64 via DVD ISO. In effort to manage drive space, the SSD was designated as a primary boot drive for my OS and key programs, while user libraries (data and games) were re-directed to a secondary mechanical drive. Although not a race horse in the SSD world, this drive substantially trumped my 7.2k spinners in terms of Windows' initial load time. It also streamlined time frames for web page and program loads. Regarding personal cost/benefit qualitative considerations - it's been a winner for me thus far. Although only owned for a few weeks, my experience has been favorable enough for me to install three more ADATA SSD boot drives into the PC's used by my kids and spouse. Long-term reliability is unknown, but short term boot-time savings has been a pleasure!

My standard laptop hard drive started to die. No data loss, just physical loss of function. A tech-knowledgeable, experienced friend recommended this drive, not as his number one but as a close second, but much cheaper alternative. I bought it. In the mean time, my son helped me backup my files--I know, stop, next time I'll be prepared--and when this new drive arrived, he mirrored my old drive to it and installed it. The installation took him about five minutes. Better than new. The computer is quieter than before, cooler than before, faster (I can really tell on bootups and restarts), and surely more reliable. I guess I can't know that last part for sure, but the SSD has no moving parts and isn't adversely affected by magnetic fields.

got this as a upgrade for my cheapo laptop and well it runs a LOT better now and faster this is actually a really good drive !

HDDが故障してしまったので、これを機にSSDに移行してみました、起動 ダウンロード 読み込みが段違いに速くなりました

Producto original y de muy buena calidad, cumplío la expectativa

Ho acquistato questa unità per upgradare il mio portatile, che per quanto abbastanza potente (Acer Aspire 5755G, processore i7 2,2GHz, 6GB di ram nativi portati a 8, upgrade a Windows10) cominciava comunque a sentire il peso dei suoi cinque anni di massacrante servizio... Ho scelto Adata perché mi hanno attirato le sue velocità di lettura e scrittura (560/520 MB/s) analoghe a quelle di un più blasonato Samsung, ma a un prezzo decisamente più accessibile. Si potrebbe dire che ho tentato un "azzardo", ma è andato a buon fine! Il mio pc ora è molto veloce e lavora bene (io ho a che fare con la grafica, e sporadicamente anche con l'elaborazione di video...) Un dato: ora il mio pc dal momento dell'accensione impiega 30 secondi ad essere operativo (inserimento della password compreso...), prima dell'operazione non parliamone... Sono molto soddisfatto e consiglio il prodotto a chi cerca ottima qualità a un prezzo accessibile.

Très facile à installer à la place de l'ancien et, maintenant, 24 secondes, c'est le temps qu'il faut à mon vieux PC Portable (10 ans) pour m'afficher Linux UBUNTU avec ce SSD au lieu des plus de 2 minutes habituelles, et pour le stockage j'ai recyclé l'ancien DD en externe USB. Du coup j'ai racheté une barrette mémoire et je réutilise un PC dont je ne me servait plus à cause de sa lenteur.
