" ... Speeds as advertised. ... "
" ... Running very quick especially with large transfers between NVMe drives. ... "
" ... Nobody runs their laptops like that. ... One, the Crucial MX500 - it's SATA and won't break any speed records. ... Another, the Intel 660p and 665p - they're incredibly power efficient and perform well (and more importantly, wake fast - just a dozen or so miliseconds even with aggressive power saving enabled) - but they're QLC NAND and quite expensive. ... This SSD - it has that same amazing power management, wakes fast, and it's built on 64L Micron TLC - that's reliable NAND that has been around for years, and the manufacturing has been refined to an art. ... I'd say it's the best SSDs that AData has ever produced. ... I like it more than the QLC Intel 660p, and for laptops - it's better than any other SSD that I know of. ... "
" ... This NAND SSD was significantly cheaper than regular SSDs but I got it on sale. ... "
" ... Write at ~500Mb and Read at ~750Mb. ... "

" ... The drive is just a fast as the 970 evo plus. ... "
" ... This is the fastest NVME drive you can buy at this price point. ... When you insert the drive it is instantly recognized by WIndows in Disk Managament. ... "
" ... Sufficient to deprecate my good old 256GB SSD + 4TB HDD combo. ... "
" ... There is a monstrous speed increase that comes from moving to SSD hard drives from regular hard drives. ... From what I have read this drive is a direct competitor for the Samsung EVO drives that are way more expensive. ... "

In the course of my installations my bios got corrupted but I do not know why nor can I blame the SSD. ... "
" ... Used Acronis software DL'd from Adata to clone old HHD and worked perfectly. ... "
" ... The Adata tool kit software is really great in some ways, tells you how many sectors have been swapped, how many are left in reserve, something I wish Samsung's magician did. ... "

" ... I added this SSD to a MacBook using an adaptor. ... Of course this is a much cheaper upgrade than the original 512Gb Apple drive and these speeds are similar to Apple speeds. ... "
" ... Had to purchase a Sintech NGFF M.2 nVME SSD Adapter Card to make this work with my Macbook Pro, but well worth the money. ... "
" ... I bought this to enhance a laptop purchase that did not have a SSD. ... Some of you might not find it so easy for this or any SSD to be recognized by your computer, and you should research that on the web, just in case BEFORE you attempt your install, as the work around is very simple in Windows (my version 10). ...
