Costumers Product Reviews


Pros

Well packaged. Simple to install.

This drive has been fitted to 2 laptops and seen 3 operating systems with no issues (I like to test my kit!).

If you want cooler operating, faster boot times and much quicker read and write times for files, then this is the upgrade for you.

I took out a 1TB HDD and replaced it with this 256GB SSD (seems to be a backward step, but there is method in my madness,

I have only installed programs to the SSD and keep all my Data ( MUSIC/PHOTO'S/DOWNLOADS/VIDEO'S/DOCS etc) on the 1TB HDD that is now housed in a USB 3.0 external case. Two advantages to this, 1- a much faster laptop, 2- all my personal files are safe if the main drive goes faulty).

Technical note for SSD drives.

"TRIM" is available on this drive and is automatically detected by Windows from version 7 onward.

How to check TRIM is enabled in your Windows 7/8/10 PC....

Use the Windows key + X keyboard shortcut to open the Power User menu and select Command Prompt (Admin).

Type the following command and press Enter: fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify.

I recommend this drive.

Cons


Bought this 4 months ago and was working ok. Then was running overclocking utility that comes with motherboard. Computer locked up as expected when utility tried too high of OC. However, after rebooting at normal settings, the ADATA 2TB drive failed and can no longer be recognized by the system. Can't attempt to repair or recover files and drive will not mount, though it does dramatically slow down OS boot as Win10 seems to be trying to deal with the drive. Disappointed! Was not accessing the drive (which was not the boot drive, just a data storage drive) at the time of testing O/C. Edit: It took a while, but the company provided a warranty replacement at no charge. This replacement drive has worked fine
