Not bad, but not all that they say they SSD's are!

While not as fast as the internet makes you get excited for, it is an improvement, but not worth the investment right now. I got a 6.9 on WEI, but I was expecting a 7.1 or more. My VelociRpator(!) got a 5.9. The main thing this excels in is the...

Price (ONLY when compared to others in size), size - it is really tiny! It stays cool and it offers improvements. It is fast, but not 'that fast when you are coming from a VelociRaptor(!). I would say that it is faster than that, but not by much. It is...

A-DATA does not seem to offer firmware upgrades on this. Maybe it is because they don't need any? The price of course is a problem along with this drive having some memory 'retention issues.' In other words, it has a problem releasing memory when a I...

Decent bang for your buck - not the highest performer

My first SSD's, I bought one for my desktop and one for my laptop - jumped when I saw the price & rated speeds. It definitely improves my experience, but isn't quite night & day like I was expecting\hoping. It is a brand new controller, so hopefully...

Relatively cheap GB\$ ratio (at least until the recent intel price drop). Great sequential Read & Write speeds

Random Reads & Writes are disappointingly mediocre ; Get a 6.9 WEI score on Windows 7 for the disk. One would expect more from a modern SSD. Not that this rating is the ultimate review of the disk...but still

good price/performance compromise

I was worried about buying this product (it only 3 review) but i'm satisfied with the product. Currently the cheapest 64GB SSD with decent speed. It's not the fastest but if you dont want to spend too much and get very good performance, it might be a...

Speed (around 180MB read/120 write) ; Price ; Trim support ; 128MB cache ; JMicron 612 chipset (not the 602!)

Write speed compared to the 128GB model ; Incomplete specification on newegg and on the manufacturer website

Bang for Buck!!!

Again bang for buck.

Price, $100 less than the comparable 128 GB SSD's Read of 210+ and Writes of 160+ on a ASUS P6T with I7 Core 920 @ 266. 6GB DDR3 160 RAM

No cons really

Good Low Cost SSD

Try it - you'll like it!

Good low cost choice for Win7 install drive - just move user folders to another drive and you'll have plenty of room. Asus P6X58D recognized immediately and Win7 installed to it with no issues. Win7 Professional boot up 27 seconds - shutdown 7 seconds

None yet - so far so good
