Do not waste money for any SSD ; Speed fast than 7200 rpm HD

I have nothing bad to say about this SSD yet. I'm using it on a late 2007 unibody MacBook via SATA-II (3Gb/s) running OS 10.6. I have to say that it's a more noticeable performance improvement than a RAM upgrade. I've upgraded my RAM from 1GB to 8GB,...

Speed didn't blow my socks off, but it's good nonetheless

Still working excellent. Fast. My boot times have not changed after having Windows 7 x64 on it for 6 months now ; This is my OS, swap file and game drive. I use Microsoft's built-in defrag on the drive and have had the same fast performance all this time

Price. Now the price of the drives have dropped dramatically. So if this ever comes back in stock, I hope it is MUCH less expensive

Boots faster. Battery life doubled! Cheaper than other SSDs

None after 3 months

It's been 2 months+ and it is still working

A great update for those coming from a mechanical hard drive to an SSD for the first time. Price was great considering the other drives at the same size. Rebadged Crucial C300. Everything screams

Firmware updates claim you need a SATA 3Gb port, of which I do not. Might not be required, but I took it to work to update it to be safe. Shipped with firmware 0006, which studdered. Firmware updates wipe the drive

This is my third Adata ssd. I've had two 128's and this 256. All of 'em are screaming fast and have had no issues to speak of ; Connected to a sata II notebook, i still get a WEI score of 7.6

Wouldn't fit into a new Lenovo Ideapad u400. the usb 3.0 port was blocking a corner that a mechanical hd wouldn't have filled. Not really a con, as all ssd's look pretty much the same. more of a design flaw

The disk read and write benchmarks shown for this drive are completely accurate. Using the Intel AHCPI drivers and Roadkil's benchmark I peaked at 346MB/s read, 307 MB/s write with access times down around .16 MS ; Boot times inside of Windows are down...

Newegg shipped this inside of it's box, within a box. There was no packaging around it whatsoever--generally unacceptable to do for a product 1/50th the volume of the box it's in. However, these things *are* rated for pretty high shocks

Plug in play. That's all it took for my Gigabyte MB to recognize the ssd. (OS: Win7 x64 Pro) 238MB after NTFS format. :) ; The driver being used is ahcix64, I know this is different from down below but it is working

Was able to get my computer up and running quickly, as I was replacing a 500 Gig 5200RPM hard drive, which was painfully slow. Even if my laptop only supports SATA II, it was still very fast, takes about 6 seconds to boot, and shut down. I haven't...

I have no concerns at this point, I have yet to come across problems
