ADATA Ultimate SU630 2.5 480 GB Serial ATA QLC 3D NAND

One of these drives was DOA and not recognized by BIOS. And since I ordered it in March, despite not opening it until now to install in a customer's machine, I can't return it through Amazon. Won't even give me the option to request one. So I'm going to have to call them to arrange this, go figure.

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 SSD's out on the market. 2. Blister packaging. Again, plastic to protect electronic components isn't 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 wasn't 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 SSD's and endurance issues with QLC nand.

Not much to it. SSD prices are dropping. Bought this to be my main CPU hard drive and will switch my storage to SSD pretty soon. Boots up fast and everything

I bought this to revive an old HP Laptop with a Core 2 Duo and 4GB RAM. Yes, this laptop is about 10 years old. The original hard drive was dead, so I picked this up as a quick replacement. To my surprise, this drive has exceeded expectations over the last few weeks. It also allows us to run Windows 10 home on this laptop with no issues. Honestly, the value proposition for this drive is immense. You aren't going to get the fastest read/write speeds, but for the price, it does the job where needed.

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