3 out of 5 eggsFast but still leary. Horrible RMA process.

Pros: -These things are fast and recognized easily by our Intel RAID card.
-Inexpensive.

Cons: -One of six failed after 5 months.
-Worst RMA process, ever.

Other Thoughts: We purchased six of these to create a 2.5 TB RAID5 on a backup server. The card liked them and the RAID runs well and pretty darn fast. The idea was... let's buy consumer chips that have a long warranty... if any of them fail we'll just RMA them and keep the RAID up & happy. It took 5 months for one to fail. What I didn't realize... was that it takes a month to get a drive back. They won't cross-ship. You send it to them, they take two+ weeks to verify the failure, then they snail-mail one back to you via 5-7 day USPS. Talk about a long and arduous process...

1 out of 5 eggsExpensive paper weight

Pros: It worked for a short while.

DON'T BUY THIS

Cons: After 5 months it just died. I tried every possible way to revive it but no luck.

DON'T BUY THIS

Other Thoughts: What if you were working on some important project, what if you were in some foreign country with your job, what if you had important files on it, personal or work/school related. There are a lot of "what if"s and for $400 I expect it to work properly.

DON'T BUY THIS

4 out of 5 eggsSolid

Pros: Wow, this is a solid SSD for a bargain price.

Cons: Had some issues installing Windows at first. Had to tweak the SATA mode in the BIOS. Seems typical with SSDs from my googling. My first SSD. The past few days everything has been running smoothly.

Other Thoughts: This is my first SSD but as I understand it durability is a bit of a concern. I will try to update after a year or so and see if things are still running as smoothly.

1 out of 5 eggsHardware failure

Pros: It's a SSD. It was cheap compared to many other 512GB drives.

Cons: After 1 month to the day, the HD failed. Used on a MaxBook Pro. I was able to boot and run the computer from an external drive so I know all other components work. I also tried to reformat using disk utility, but since it was a hardware issue, the disk utility wouldn't even recognize the HD. Also spent 20 minutes with an apple genius who came to the same conclusion.

Other Thoughts: I am going to go with a more reputable company next time.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat SSD

Pros: I've had it for a few months and it installed great on my macbook. Both partitions on it, Linux and Mac OSX, boots up in seconds.

Cons: None... I wish it were cheaper.

Other Thoughts: When the price comes down for this drive again, I'm going to buy another one for my desktop.

5 out of 5 eggsCheaper option

Pros: I don't own this, but I love Adata products and I'm sure this is no exception, especially for being on the less expensive side compared to other brands and still being awesomely fast!

Cons: You can buy two 256GB for a bit less money, plus if one happens to fail you still have one =)

5 out of 5 eggsADATA - Quality SSD's

Pros: My first purchase decision for an ADATA SSD was made primarily based on a sale. Since then, I've bought mostly ADATA ones, with the exception of 2. I regretted going away from them, because I've had headaches with the non-ADATA ones. I have yet to have a DOA or failure of any of my ADATA drives.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Don't be afraid to go with ADATA. While they aren't usually the first ones out with a new controller, it also keeps you off the bleeding edge. I own 5 of their SSD's and haven't had a single issue, which I can't say for the other 2 SSD's I bought.

1 out of 5 eggsMany Problems with ASX900s3-512gm-c

Pros: Faster than conventional hard disk.

Cons: Daily computer freeze's on windows 7 x64 and on windows 8 pro X64(requires a hard reset with data loss). I have a MSI 990FXA-GD80 with FX-8150 cpu all software and bios up to date. This unit ships with old firmware with many problems. Adata's flash program does not work and I have tried to flash to a new firmware on 3 different computers and Win7 and Win8. I've complained to Adata but their support is slow and lacking. They just say it should work, but fails. I keep getting when trying to flash the firmware from 5.01 to 5.02a "Fatal_error firmware download failed with error Ecode00000057". In the process of doing an RMA, I wonder how many months this will take?

Other Thoughts: $400.00 bucks down the drain, this will be the last Adata anything I ever buy.

Manufacturer Response:

5 out of 5 eggsGood Choice

Pros: Good R&W speeds.
Reliable, so far.
Price for performance.

Cons: None that I can think of or have experienced.

Other Thoughts: Got this on sale for quite a bit less than it is now, which I'm glad I did. So far there hasn't been any hiccups or anything of the sort, it's been 2 months now with heavy use (lots of read and writes). Boot time is lightning fast. I decided that I was done with internal HDD's (for my personal rig) and will only buy SSD's from now on, it's worth it, in my opinion. Firmware was easy to update with the tool/program off of their website. Really not much else to say except that I made the right choice :)
