Equip your notebook or PC with more speed, stability and efficiency. Equipped with 3D TLC NAND Flash and features like DEVSLP (Device Sleep), this SSD gives your system a boost in performance and energy efficiency. Intelligent SLC caching and a DRAM buffer ensure high write and read speeds. The SU800 Solid State Drive uses 3D-V-NAND technology. With 3D-V-NAND, the transistors are vertical to the chip surface and are also arranged in several planes. This achieves a higher storage density and at the same time reduces the risk of interferences between the cells. The advantages compared to a conventional hard disk are considerably shorter access times, lower energy consumption and a greatly increased shock tolerance. This means that your operating system boots faster, less heat is generated and your data remains intact even in the event of major vibrations. A further advantage is the very long service life, whereby your data is preserved over a long period of time.

UPDATED: Here is ADATA Tech Supports' response: Dear Customer, "Thank you for contacting ADATA. First of all, the temperature reading you have provided could be a false number, please first physically touch the SU800 if it actually feels warm. If not, it might require a firmware update which current is not available yet. Please kindly provide us with your feedback and we’ll respond accordingly." YES. It is warm to the touch. I provided them with further test data from 2 following configurations: 1.) Mounted in metal enclosure - still reading high, in the 40's with no activity; and 2.) No enclosure: with SATA-to-USB cable adapter, running again with no activity, and blowing with cooling fan set at highest temperature for 30 minutes.

If one is adept at replacing and installing data drives, this internal solid state drive will be well worth the effort. I own both Mac and Windows computers, but wouldn't consider replacing a hard drive with an SSD on my Mac--it's scary. When I felt the need for additional speed and capabilities, I simply purchased a new Mac that already ran on SSD. But I had no trouble switching drives on three of my Windows laptops. One must first install the needed software and then have on hand an inexpensive piece of hardware that enables one to transfer data from the original hard drive to the SSD. After the transfer is complete, one must remove the old hard drive and install the SSD in its place. When complete, start up the computer close your eyes and pray!

Popped this into a new mid-line Acer i3 based laptop with 4GB ram. Boot time dropped from about 15 seconds with 5400 rpm HDD to 4 seconds with this SSD! Unbelievable...4 Seconds! Of course, I have disabled all the bloatware and unneeded process at start-up, however the 11 second savings is on the same set-up! I recommend ANYONE planning to upgrade to any SSD (any PC) to make a bootable Acronis CD and do the cloning in the Acronis environment, not from Windows. e.g. Boot the PC directly into Acronis. This is especially important when upgrading a laptop, where the new SSD needs to be installed on the MB for proper cloning/boot assignment, or when cloning to a smaller capacity disk than the source. Everyone curses the free Acronis, but I have never had a problem with ... MorePopped this into a new mid-line Acer i3 based laptop with 4GB ram.

For me this was a good purchase. It's important to have realistic expectations. The ssd drive is much faster but you have to understand that even a faster drive is limited by the hardware limitations imposed by the computer you plug it into. Your internet isn't going to seem faster. Your video card isn't going to dramatically provide faster frame-rates. What you will experience is faster boot-up and shutdown times and faster program execution. The drive operates silently and seems to run cooler. This was a basic summary of what I have found to be the case. This Adata SSD is the only SSD I own so I have no other ssd drive to compare it to. Also, not being a technician or otherwise skilled with computers I cannot be more specific or inclusive of more pertinent info. ... MoreFor me this was a good purchase.

I bought this to replace the HDD in my laptop. I was disappointed that it did not show when you inserted it to format before install. I am glad I did. The way it was formatted was not what I thought it was. After researching different ways to see if I could get it working, (I'm a novice) I discovered that it was not named and didn't show any volume when externally connected. I went into Device Management, seen that the volume was there but not partitioned and named. After I did that, it works great. Now after putting it in my laptop, it works great. I can see why people want SSDs. For speed.
Placed in a Skylake micro HTPC that is used to surf and stream online. Good low cost option. Read speeds are fine, and really no noticeable drop in real world usage when compared to my Samsung 850 EVO's, as this HTPC is used for very light duties. Not saying I'd use this in a Main PC for gaming or video editing, as it lacks better write speeds, but for typical day to day online usage it's just fine... Thanks to Newegg for offering the gift card instead of the usual rebate ! I truly hate rebates, and the gift card is the main reason I chose this lower priced SSD over other options . I can only hope that some day, the mail in rebate nonsense will cease to exist. Why are most digital components still tied to old world marketing snail mail programs. Seems to contradict ... MorePlaced in a Skylake micro HTPC that is used to surf and stream online. Good low cost option.

Why buy a product intended to allow someone to transact business over the net, yet still require that we transact our business through the very medium you have intended for us to turn our backs on ? Am I missing the point here ?
The drive seems to be working in a reliable way so far. In fact everything seems to be smooth so far. If a recovery CD won't boot to make the Image restore to the drive you can try a USB Windows Media Installation USB drive. The tools are on the drive under troubleshooting. Microsoft has made it easy to upgrade to a Adata SSD. Other thoughts, Anyone looking for a faster SSD should be using a M.2 drive instead of SATA. The drive seems to be capped by SATA. Also, If you are setting up just to use for Windows boot drive you should consider 256GB or 512GB drive. Windows with updates will use 35GB at the most. I have a computer with a 512 GB SSD for a boot drive and right now it's overkill. Windows with some programs is using 94GB. 256 is fine for just a boot drive and ... MoreThe drive seems to be working in a reliable way so far. In fact everything seems to be smooth so far.

I have a computer with a 512 GB SSD for a boot drive and right now it's overkill. Windows with some programs is using 94GB. 256 is fine for just a boot drive and other storage drives. I would recommend this 1TB drive to anyone using it for a System drive or storage drive as long as reliability holds up. I have a SU650 960GB in My laptop, and it has held up fine for over a year now. That drive is on for 8 hours constant playing music. It seems to be solid if anything like that. Only time will tell how good it will be. The SU800 works good now at 1TB capacity. No complaints..
Two weeks on the job as a dedicated games and entertainment drive; no issues whatsoever. Crystal Disk Mark 6 shows seq read of 565 MB/s and seq write of 532 MB/s (NTFS, Simple format, GPT). These speeds are 5%+ and 130%+ faster than Samsung 840; Overall average of 20% faster than Samsung on random reads and 22% faster on random writes. Also significantly faster than previous generation ADATA SSDs, nearly matching 2 in RAID 0 config. I have 3 ADATA M.2 NVMe drives, 4 ADATA SSDs (3 different generations). Over several years have never had an ADATA SSD or M.2 fail or glitch. M.2s are used for OS; SSDs are used for video / photo editing and transcoding, so heavy workloads are normal.
This is the fourth ADATA SU800 SSD I have used. Good performance boost, especially to older laptops. Easy to install, good performance, and, so far, reliable. No problems with any of the drives, so I can't say anything about warranty and tech support. The only downside to the SU800 is that it doesn't have hardware encryption, and for some uses this is highly desirable.
So far, so good. The other is installed in an Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575-33BM laptop. Simple. I just downloaded a copy of Windows 10 from MS onto a flash drive and ran the install. Found it easier than cloning. Keep the 1TB hard drive in the laptop. It's dual booting to one/or (both Windows 10). After making sure the SSD was working, I disabled HDD booting. I will use the HDD drive to store music, movies, etc. Starts up in about 15 seconds. Excel in 2-3 seconds. No need for a drive - laptops are fine by nature. Just want it - and the price is right
