ADATA ASU650SS-960GT-C 960GB Ultimate SU650 SSD 2.5 SATA3 7mm (2.5mm Spacer) 3D NAND 520/450 MB/s 75K IOPS - (Components > SSD Solid State Drive)

For a component that needs to be reliable I am disappointed in this as it had disk errors on arrival.Amazon's return policy made getting a new one a breeze. However, I can't trust it to hold my data.

I've been looking to try an SSD in an aging laptop for a while although i've been reluctant given the pricing whenever I have looked previously for > 250GB drives. This SSD seemed to be great value so gave it ago, installed it without any difficulties and is working great (early days), laptop feels more responsive with boot up times into Windows 10 noticeably improved.It doesn't have the look or feel of a premium product, packaging is adequate and the drive itself is best described as hollow feeling plastic, don't let this put you off - it comes across as a good value product.I wanted to clone my boot HDD to the SSD and ADATA will supply a key for Acronis software to do this for you upon product registration. There seems to be various negative reviews for this software and recommendations for other products - I tried one other first and couldn't get far before the software gave an error, so went on the ADATA website, registered my product and downloaded the Acronis software - it worked absolutely fine and was good to go.

I am getting frequent data losses on this unit. I install something, I restart/reboot the computer and boom it's corrupted or gone, sometimes you can't access certain folders. If you are planning to install an OS or something critical on it, just don't.

I have used ia couple of these ssd's in budget build/ nuc's , there are not the fastest, but have good endurance rating and it is only noticeable as a slower drive on large sequential writes. great upgrade from HDD too booting from this drive takes close to 25 seconds, so for the money you can't go wrong.

Very fast boot up times of around 36 to 40 seconds on my system, with no loading or stutters from apps once on the desktop, ready to go once desktop is loaded with instant performance :)

Two separate orders of 2 of these drives in November, all 4 failing. Random crashes / disk corruptions on 4 separate PCs and all using these drives. Have used dozens of these before, so possibly a bad batch of them as all failures from orders days apart

This SSD is DRAMless, hence the low price. But this does not really have a big effect in real world situations, the perceivable difference is very small even compared to an NVMe drive.

An SSD drive at a great price for the size of disk. Performs well as a backup disk for data. I bought a small drive caddy and built my own portable drive for less.
