This review is from: ADATA S511 Series 2.5" 240GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) AS511S3-240GM-C
Pros:
Very fast. Stable after much difficulty, effort and tinkering.
Cons:
Installation of software was not straight forward. SSD is unstable with normal install. Disk loses communication with operating system and drops out causing system crash.
Overall Review:
My final system: intel 2011 socket, core i7 3820, win7 64 bit, 16GB RAM, Gigabyte X79 UD3 mobo, GTX 560Ti, 2 of these ADATAs in raid0 on Intel X79 controller. First install with raid0 was unstable. I also tried these without raid with same problems. Ended up getting an Intel Cherryville 520 SSD, installing Windows fresh, installing all updates for OS and firmware and drivers, then finally copying stable image with Acronis True Image Home to the ADATA Raid0 volume. Very nice after that: stable, blazing FAST. I have read that there is no trim support for RAID0, so I'll see how long my system lasts like this :-(
