It seems like the solid state drive market is booming right now. Many manufacturers are offering a

– Solid read speed; – Price; – 2 adapters included; – Backup software included

– Slower write speeds than other drives out there; – Marketing of the drive can be misleading

For my install I did need to purchase the hard drive adapter to fit the 3.5" bay.

This drive was purchased for a small office server; I wanted lower power consumption and low noise; This drive has done it's job so far; No issues with install or the motherboard finding it

No cons as of yet; There haven't been any hiccups at all

came with support wich is great

great for price

The ADATA SP920SS 256GB doesn't really bring any special performance when compared to other SSDs, especially with Samsung 840 Pro. There are certain workloads where the drive performs nicely, but in many tests its mediocre for an SSD.

A few weeks back, we took a look at a new series of solid state drives from Crucial, the M550 , which leveraged Marvell controller technology, 20nm MLC NAND flash memory, and firmware optimizations gleaned from the last couple of years of SATA SSD advancements.

Price Per GB of Lower Capacity Drives

ADATA has definitely proven that they are a force to be reckoned with so far this year. We first checked in with them at CES, where we got to see their newly coloured DRAM modules, wireless device charging technology, as well as their line up of new solid state drives.

This review feels like dejà vu from a week ago...right around the time we wrote the M550 1TB. The SP920 and the M550 are nearly identical, but that's not a bad thing for the ADATA SP920 or you. Both drives are very good, but ADATA picked up the slack where Crucial fell short.

Compared this with M550 and bought this to try and very happy with it. I get right to work as soon as I sign-in instead of waiting several seconds, like I used to. The included cloning software made migration, without having to re-install, relatively easy.

Well first of all I bought this drive for my brother after he managed to "burn" the last six HDD's in about two years time and was now getting crazy (him and everybody else in the house) because of the laptop slowness.
