Pros: Fast

Cons: "Almost" dead after few months.

Other Thoughts: The first few months (like 2 of them) i had no problems on my Lenovo Y580. Then my OS (Win8) started to act weird wasn't sure if the reason was SSD or the OS. After spending 2 days re-installing windows (lots of fails and stalls) i managed to do it. But the performance was bad. Few days ago my OS started to freeze until yesterday stopped loading (hangs while loading). After booting from my alternative HDD the chkdsk shows "File Record Segments are Unreadable " which means that the SSD is almost dead.
... Now copying all the files to my alt HDD.

Pros: Very fast when it worked.

Cons: Failed in less than 2 months, shows as SANDFORCE controller with nothing attached. Lost 2+ months of data

Other Thoughts: Going to try RMA through AData

I figured the mssd would be a little more reliable.. guess not.

Pros: While it was working, it performed as advertised

Cons: Only got 4 months out of it before it died. Lost everything when it suddenly became unrecognizable to Windows 7

Pros: I used the mSATA drive for my Win7 OS, and the laptops spinning disk drive for storage. Windows 7 boots up incredibly fast, it increased battery life, and windows functions like opening programs, browsers, etc was extremely quick. You take this for granted after a bit, until the drive fails and you have to boot off of your normal spinning disk.

Cons: I have had this drive for less than 4 months, and it has died twice already. The first time was within 2 weeks of my purchase so NewEgg replaced the drive. Now less than 3 months later the replacement drive has died, and I am in the process of RMA with ADATA.

Other Thoughts: I love the speed improvements from mSATA, but I am on my third rebuild within 3 months because of drive failures. I've lost confidence in the product's reliability, so I'm not sure if I can continue to run my primary OS on it. I would be very cautious of using this in any business environment.

Pros: None in my system but it might work in other systems. My motherboard is a MSI ITX Z77IA-E53 which is an Intel I5 1155 socket cpu with 2x8GB G.Skill Ram & a 2GB RNY video card.

Cons: Could not be seen in bios or post. Had no other motherboard so I went out and bought an Intel 525 series 180GB m-sata. Installed perfectly and is working fine. I also bought a SYBA SY-ADA40050 Mini-SATA to 2.5" SATA Adapter.

After I finished installing Win7 Ultimate, I tried the AData in the adapter. Right away I could see the drive in Drive Mgr, but I couldn't do squat with it, i.e.I couldn't initialize it.

So I tried rebooting. On the third try I got to it, but it still wouldn't allow me to initialize it.

Ok reboot 2 more times. Finally I could get to the little puppy and was able to initialize it. But it wouldn't let me format it.

Ok, reboot time. Six was the magic number. Finally I was able to format it but it still won't work in the m-sata slot.

No way am I going to keep this drive! It should have worked like the Intel drive. I

AData Tech Support was of no help. All they could tell me was that their drive should have worked. Because it didn't they offered to take it back and test it. Big deal spend another 15 bucks on shipping and lose the drive for two weeks. AData - do you know about cross shipping??????

I think the drive is fine. I think it isn't compatible with something on the MB, whether its the UFEI BIOS or the m-sata slot. But this has really turned me off AData products because I don't trust them to be compatible and I don't think they are motivate to really help their customers. I got a minimal response when I needed a response that exceeded my expectations.

Pros: Looks Nice

Cons: mSata

Other Thoughts: If you are buying this as 2.5" ssd, dont forget to buy your 2.5" bay. This is a mSata ssd, will not fit regular size, uses different connection. My fault, didn't do a huge amount of research.

Pros: Very Fast. MSATA format fit my HP Elitebook Mobil Workstation allowing me to use the internal hard drive bay to add a 2nd standard hard drive for additional storage without losing the optical drive

Cons: It died in less than 3 months. The good news is that I didn't have a lot of time to build up a lot of data to lose. The bad news is I lost 3 months of data. I guess i get to install everything again. I lost my saved Torchlight game too... and that is what I will miss the most.

Other Thoughts: I have requested an RMA from AData. Now we will see what happens with their warranty service.
