ADATA SU800 512GB 3D-NAND 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive

I installed this in a Dell Precision M6500 that had a 2TB Samsung drive in it. The M6500 has space for two 2.5 inch HDDs, so I left the Samsung in bay 0 and installed the SU800 2TB in bay 1. I used Reflect disk cloning software from Macrium to clone the Samsung to the SU800 (I highly recommend this software). I own a licensed copy, but there is a free personal version that will work just fine for this. After cloning I went into the M6500's BIOS and swapped the boot order so that it would boot from drive 1 first, then drive 0 (if drive 1 failed). It then booted right up off the SU800, about 8X faster than from the Samsung. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 on an i7 X940 @ 2.13GHz HT (8 cores) with 32GB RAM and an NVIDIA 5000. My Windows Experience Index was always 5.6 because of the HDD (out of 7.5 max). Now with the SU800 as the primary HDD, the Index is 7.2 and the HDD maxes out at 7.5. I have not performed speed tests but everything disk I/O related is far faster than before, it's really amazing. And this is a drive in a machine that is 6+ years old, with over 1TB of data and just over 12M files. One comment, if you use Reflect you can set it up to auto clone daily to a backup drive. I left the original Samsung 2TB drive in bay 0, and now I am cloning the SU800 to the Samsung every night as an automatic process. It runs a smart sector copy that only copies changes, so the clone process is very fast. But in this way, should the SU800 fail the system will still boot and run from the original Samsung. Because no matter now far SSDs have come, I am still somewhat skeptical as to long-term reliability. If you switch to an SSD as your primary (which I highly recommend), install cloning software and clone/backup your SSD to a conventional drive! Few final comments.. this thing is dead quiet (obviously) and pulls only a fraction of the current as the Samsung. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase.

This is my second ADATA SSD. First is with my MIL's Mac Mini as an external drive. Fast and reliable for well over a year and a half.This drive is for a very old (2008) MSI Wind Netbook running Windows 7. Cloned the existing drive to the ADATA using MiniTool Partition WIzard in that I needed to do some drive partitioning work to have the existing drive fit onto the smaller capacity ADATA drive. The ADATA drive was connected via USB where it initilized, partitioned as directed, and cloned without exception. Placed the ADATA inside the Wind and it boots and runs many times faster than prior. New life for an older machine.This seem to be very good low cost drives for general use. If you need the absolute fastest and largest SSD look elsewhere, but if you are replacing a drive in an older machine with an SSD then the ADATA drives should be just fine for general everyday use.

For my programming and media uses, I picked this 1TB SSD because of the speed and the fact I wanted an onboard memory/hard drive device for my raspberry PI.I find it very reliable, very responsive when retrieving documents, and I am able to do things like write programs while blasting my music, stored on the SSD (I have close to 5000 songs loaded on my card) and using the VLC player, I've created playlists where I can just leave the songs crank on my three-speaker system that was part of one of my windows PC media centers, so it has its own power source and doesn't draw it from the raspberry PI card, and right and run my own code.I've been running it now for close to three weeks nonstop as I now use my raspberry PI as my main computer, and I've had no issues with the memory card at all. I've had no lost files I've had no corrupted areas, and the SSD card comes up immediately.The only thing I wish I could've done differently, and this is due to my inexperience in Raspberry and forgetful of my UNIX days, is to properly set the card up so that my device just boots from the microSD card and everything else is stored on the SSD memory. What I wish I could've done differently was as soon as I created the first partition was to format the SSD into a 1TB partition rather than let it create thousands of partitions as I add new files and programs. No I gave this card a three star rating or ease of installation because when you look at the photo and the lack of anything in the description, it seemed like it would fit one of the cases that I purchased, but when I got it I was rudely awakened to the fact that it does not fit. So my advice to you is unless you plan to 3D print your own case, if you are used to an open air system for your raspberry PI, then this actually would be a five star installation. But be careful when trying to purchase a case to enclose this SSD card. My next raspberry PI will use the shorter SSD cards and they will fit in a double height case.

Appears to work well and function properly.16 God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son. Anyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life. 17 God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world. He sent his Son to save the world through him. John 3:16,17 NIRV 18 Whoever believes and has decided to trust in Him [as personal Savior and Lord] is not judged [for this one, there is no judgment, no rejection, no condemnation]; but the one who does not believe [and has decided to reject Him as personal Savior and Lord] is judged already [that one has been convicted and sentenced], because [b]he has not believed and trusted in the name of the [One and] only begotten Son of God [the One who is truly unique, the only One of His kind, the One who alone can save him]. John 3:18 Amplified Bible 15 And if anyone’s name was not found written in the Book of Life, he was hurled into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:15 Amplified BibleRevelation 20:15 Since everyone who goes before the great white throne is to be tried and sentenced for his deeds, and no one is sinless, the only way to escape condemnation and the “lake of fire” is to have one’s name in the “Book of Life” through authentic faith in Jesus as Lord (see Ps 69:28; Phil 4:3; Rev 3:5).
