ADATA XPG SX900 ASX900S3-256GM-C 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: Fast, affordable, not full yet like a 128GB or less SSD would be

Cons: 550 MB/s read and 530 write? Really?

Other Thoughts: Not like I'm going grey(er) waiting for 310 MB/s writes, but do some real tests before you post numbers. If both read and write were 3 5ths of what the ad said that would be 3 out of 5 eggs, but I'll give it a pass for being more than 4/5 of the way there on reads.

Pros: Excellent SSD so far, haven't had any issues with it. Bought it on 02/22/2013 back when it was on sale for around $170. Read/write speeds are as advertised.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I bought this as a scratch drive for working with uncompressed .avi and other huge media files. This drive cuts through the data no problem and I have no playback issues whatsoever. Might buy another to replace my old 60GB SSD housing my OS.

Pros: It runs real good have had no issue with it working.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I do have some concern about this Drive. It is running real hot. I have no Idea why. I have contacted Adata about this. They have no responded yet. I hope there is no problems. But the drive running hot concerns me about the life of the drive.Maybe they will RMS the drive.

Pros: Awesome speed. I almost bought the Samsung 840 Pro 256GB. The price of the ADATA was so much cheaper and as far as far as I could tell no performance decrease. Great deal.

Cons: None

Pros: Easy install. My pc boots in 8 seconds.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: COOLER MASTER HAF 912 RC-912-KKN1 Black SECC

ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77

Intel Core i5-3470 Ivy Bridge 3.2GHz (3.6GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core

Pros: Coming from a 60GB vertex 2 boot drive in SATAII, this drive is like converting from a 5400rpm to SSD all over again! 7.9 windows rating, love it!

Cons: N/A

Other Thoughts: Ordered at 4pm, shipped within 20 minutes from Tennessee, reached Maine at 10am this morning. Hoorah.

Pros: Same day availability in Mississauga, Ontario using Will Call Centre

Cons: Drive is failed. BIOS saw the drive twice only. Did not even get to Ghost image to disk and use it. Used ESD, AHCI, and reflashed BIOS. Using with ASUS G73Jh laptop with latest BIOS 213. Also tried with Gigabyte mainboard. Both systems don't even see the drive as attached. It appears to be completely dead. Going to try USB3 docking station then RMA.

Other Thoughts: Going to try another using NewEgg return policy

Pros: So, I love this drive, its super fast, high enough capacity to fit all of my games on, and was super easy to install and load windows 7 x64 on.

Cons: After a few weeks, has begun to make a high pitch squealing sound when it is loading, or processing info. Pretty much whenever the HDD indicator light flashes, I'm getting the squeal which was loud enough to wake me up last night.

Other Thoughts: This is my second SSD, the first is a 128BG crucial which has been perfect for 2 years. I really hope that this isn't going to be a problem which requires an RMA after I just installed a fresh OS, and all of my games and have everything running perfect. Aside from the screeching noise that is.

Pros: performance to price
the speeds

Cons: none that i have come across

Other Thoughts: I would recommend this drive to anyone looking for a SSD at this price point or size.

Pros: Fast, easy to install and pretty good price...

Cons: Failed after 5 months, was playing Dark soul and it just causes a system meltdown going to a BSoD. Cannot get it to reboot even on my friends computer, waste of 200 bucks.

Other Thoughts: Shortest drive lifespan Ive ever had, I only installed necessary programs on it and the rest on a Seagate Barracuda drive, You'd be better off spending slightly more money on something that lasts more than 5 months...
