With the Ultimate SU800 solid-state drive (SSD), ADATA is throwing its hat into the ring for 3D triple-layer-cell (TLC) NAND-based SSDs. It's the company's first drive to use this new type of vertically stacked memory. In 2015, ADATA released a TLC-based drive named the ADATA Premier SP550, and the Ultimate SU800 is a successor to that drive. We're not really sure why ADATA added the word "Ultimate" to its title, because just like the previous drive, this is a value-oriented SSD, just like all the other TLC-based drives on the market. We suppose it could be the ultimate in terms of low pricing, but it's certainly not an SSD designed for ultimate performance. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Nowadays, most mainstream SSDs are good enough—in terms of performance—for any home user, and the type of memory that ADATA is using in this SSD has excellent endurance ratings, so it's designed to offer exceptional value. That's very much the point with opting for 3D TLC NAND in general; a...

The SU800 isn't quite the "ultimate" anything, but it is a decently performing SSD at a competitive price, thanks to its use of 3D TLC NAND.

Competitive pricing, good software, and fast sequential reads

Shoppers must register to get "bundled" migration-software key; Not the fastest or the cheapest SSD

Drive is replacing a 5400 RPM 1TB drive in the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus (UCK-G2-PLUS) https://amzn.to/2XQI5Op It works out of the box without issue. Predicting the future is impossible, and some users have reported dead drives in less then 18 months, but so far it seems to be a perfect...

Definitely good option for base builds with low requirements. My friends wife is very happy with the change this SSD made to her laptop that had normal 5400rpm HDD. Now she doesn't hate using it due to the delays of operation . Will see how durable it will be along the way.

I purchased a LARGE quantity of these SSD drives to replace all rotating HDD in our business's computers. I take 2 years old HP business line desktop computers (Intel i5 w/ 4 GB RAM) running Windows 10 Pro and replaced the factory 7200 RPM HDD (which is already a high end HDD) by these SSD drives...

Good cheap SSD. If you don't have a means to clone your new SSD from your existing HD/SSD the free True Image software works well.

Works like a charm. Replaced a failed HD in an older PC and performance noticeably increased.

I can't really blame the SSD for all of my problems nor the lack of performance improvements. Linux is notoriously aggressive about caching disk files in main memory if you have free memory available. The SSD only improves the initial startup time of programs, not the subsequent startup times.

The drive seems reliable and fast

ASUS B-350M/CSM motherboard will not recognize the SSD as the primary boot device; even though it is the only one with a boot flag set; Ubuntu 17.04 installer crashes trying to access the device; even after I set a default partition table on it.

Got this drive on sale, which is nice... Suggest everyone to get a Newegg app since you can get the app deals which is how i got this drive!

I have had it for about two weeks now and it is just fast; It is not the same as top ssds but it does it's job well

The SU800 is a tricky drive. For starters the 128GB model simply does not have enough flash chips on the drive to extract much parallelism from the controller. This is not a problem for the 512GB (or 256GB) model, but it is something consumers should be aware of if they are looking for a smaller...

Don't know what to say really. Works how it should :)
