I'm about to buy an ssd and I saw this ADATA SP600, 128GB for R877. Good deal?
I have never used any Adata product and this is R500+ cheaper than other well-known brands.
 
I have the same one, but the 64gb. I have had no issues in the 6 months I have had it.
 
I'm sure that I read somewhere that ADATA is a rebrand or uses similar parts as the Crucial drives :confused:
 
Although Adata is a good brand, that hard drive has a relatively low write speed for an SSD
 
I have 4 Adata SSD's (3x 32's in firewall's) and my Dell have 256,
no problems with any of them for the last 1.5 years, just work, and pricing always better than rest

ADATA is a decent brand and they've been trying to switch around their SSD brand from a value-only brand to one that implies quality. The SP series isn't bad, but the write speeds are low and the JMicron controllers are being replaced slowly by older LSI Sandforce chips and those new Silicon Motion controllers seen in the Corsair LX drives.

Only for their high-end markets. Their contract with LSI was at an end just before Seagate bought out LSI and they started buying up Micron reference designs that were also sold as the Crucial M550.
