It Died after 2 Years light use

Pros: It was cheap
It worked fine up until it died

Cons: It died
Even though it died within warranty the process was a headache and I'm unsure if its worth doing. The online rma process failed twice and I had to register with adata just to complete it. Then i get a form saying i have to mail it to an address in California which after checking would cost around 30 dollars cheapest. Pay a little more and get buy from a quality company.

Terrible failure rate

Pros: - cheap
- 3 year warranty

Cons: - half of purchased drives failed

Overall Review: I bought 4 of these drives. Currently two are still functional. One drive was wonky right from the start and is now being returned. the other drive worked OK for about two years although i would get mysterious blue screens every few weeks.

Died After 1 Year

Pros: This SSD worked great for the first 11 months.

Cons: After 11 months my computer began to get various errors and would freeze once per day for 10-15 minutes at a time. A week after the SSD's anniversary, the computer froze and never recovered. After a force restart, the SSD wouldn't boot. I spent 6 hours trying to fix the SSD. It didn't appear in BIOS no matter which SATA and power cables were connected, and didn't appear in the file tree after I booted on Linux from a USB stick. I tried power cycling the SSD itself twice with no effect. RIP

I was really hoping this SSD would last longer than a year.

It might not be the fastest SSD in existence, but my computer boots up MUCH faster than when I was using a mechanical drive.

Pros: Like the title says, it is plenty fast for me. Sure, you'll get even faster speeds if you go for an NVME drive or something, but for the money, I think I can deal with slumming it up with 540MB/s read speeds.

Cons: The only issue I had is with the OS migration software they include for free: Acronis. It took me hours to finally get my Windows 10 installation over to the SSD, because even though my C drive was taking up less space than there is on the SSD, it would still tell me that the SSD had insufficient space. Turns out, I had to SHRINK my C drive partition to something smaller than 240GB for it to actually transfer. So keep that in mind if you get an SSD, whether it be this one, or another.

Cheap and works great

Pros: For the price, unbeatable. Stuck it in my 5 year old laptop as the HDD was slower than molasses in January. What an upgrade it is. Brought new life into the old system

Cons: Skeptical about the brand and price point.

Overall Review: Would not trust this SSD in your beloved gaming computer. I choose this because it was a low-risk high-reward solution for my laptop which has no valuable information on it if the SSD were to fail. At 5 years old, the laptop is at the end of its life anyway; this is just extending it for the time being.
