If you take only those factors into consideration, great. There's no reason not to buy this product. However, you're advertised "read/write up to 3500/3000MB/s", in reality, you'll probably receive ~2750MB Read | ~2200 Write. Now, by no means are these speeds slow, but when you're advertising "up to" those kinds of speeds. People expect to receive metrics similar to the ones you advertise.
Still better than most of the other SSDs on the market. This brings competition to a market primarily dominated by Samsung due to reputation, I like it. The cheap price blows me away, and the heatsink isn't much but surely appreciated.
Overall: 8.4/10. Could have been better if you advertised lower numbers, or if you were to get the same performance advertised. I also have an understanding that that performance may reflect the 1TB version, but that's a totally different product.
I've only ever bought Samsung SSDs. Among other drives, I've got a NVME 960 Pro (250GB) in my PC just for WINDOWS (I got it back in August 2017 and it's been doing the job fine ever since).
Why Adata? I built a SFF PC for my wife as a Christmas present. She's not an enthusiast as myself so she wouldn't care Adata or Samsung. In any case, I want going to put crap on her new PC but quite the opposite. So I checked the reviews and they're quite consistent: Adata 1TB is a strong performer. So I pulled the trigger.
I compared the new build against my build and my wife PC (Adata) has faster write/read speeds than mine. Whether you'll notice it or not is a different story.
My wife's PC specs (used exclusively for typical office tasks: Word, Excell, browsing and movies):
- Ryzen 3400G
- Asus ROG Strix X470-I Gaming
- Adata XPG SG8200 Pro 1TB
- Corsair RM550x
- Raijintek Metis Plus
My rig:
- Ryzen 3900x
- MSI RTX 2080 GAMING X TRIO
- Asus Crosshair VI Hero
- EVGA 850W T2
Etc...
I did a real world test transfering a 46 GB video file to a sata ssd achieving 140 MB/s and a copy back to the drive at 260 MB/s. So, comparing to a sata ssd this drive is about twice as fast in writing and many times faster in reading.
So after much research I order a NVMe M.2 adaptor card for the MacBook https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sintech-Replace-MZ-JPU128T-SD6PQ4M-128G-MacBook/dp/B01CWWAENG/ and the ADATA SX8200 512GB drive.
After backing my existing drive, I swapped out the Apple PCI SSD and replaced it with the adaptor board with the ADATA SX8200. Very straightforward and easy to install. I used a trial version of Carbon Copy Cloner to backup and restore.
The new drive works fine with MacOS Catalina, sleeping and hibernating works perfectly. Speed wise I'm nowhere near what this drive is capable of and in hindsight I could have probably got away with a SX6000 but that is a limitation of a 6 year old MacBook and not the drive. That said the read speed has doubled and the write speed is nearly 4x faster.
A worthwhile upgrade that has breathed new life into my laptop.
Installation was easy and was just a case of plugging it into the m.2 slot on the motherboard and securing it with a screw.
The drive came with a stick on heat spreader and you will need to use this if your motherboard doesn`t have a heat spreader supplied with it.
This drive gets quite hot under extended use.
While the drive was working it delivered excellent speed and snappiness in use and i was really pleased with it, Unfortunately just over 2 months after purchase the drive stopped working and wasn`t recognised by my motherboard any more.
Further investigation using another motherboard led to the conclusion the drive had failed and was returned to the supplier.
I am not saying these drives have a build problem far from it just that the item i got was returned due to failure.
Ironically though I put it in a Dell XPS 13 9350 are it works brilliantly! Completely silent with no fans on ever and yet ultra fast and apparently minimum heat, judging by other system temperatures.
I don't understand why the same SSD can be so incompatible with one system but so welcoming of another, but arguable it happens!
Hey Ho!
Since it's unlikely with such product to be randomly different from other in batch, one can assume, reviews and testing methods are heavily misleading. Only one review with video on Amazon, shows EXACTLY the truth about Adata vs Samsung.
Not going to present to many details here, so quickly.
Small buffer, and quick overheating threshold.
Means, for first 10 gigs it's ultra fast, then drops down to 1gb/s writes. Reads are better, not much thou.
It's both buffer running out, and overheats within 40 seconds (without heatsink).
Random writes terribly low. Just about that of SSD.
Read/ write 1gb/s EXACTLY as video of other review shows.
So even with the price tag, it's NOT acceptable at all.
Returned. Got Samsung, and much better, still far away from reviews people give to it. Overheats too without heatsink, but last many times longer, before affecting performance.
Dont love that uk product didn't include the fixing screw as seen on you tube videos.
Dont love lack of instruction or support included.
If you buy this to be your main drive, make sure you understand what your doing with regards to cloning etc.
I do have to state here that Amazon customer support is forthcoming BUT they only act as intermediaries with manufacturers who dont respond, so dont knock Amazon for trying.
Ok couple more good bits:
Once successful cloning is achieved by your own voyage of discovery learning, this drive delivers, I have added the included simple adhesive heatsink as the m.2 drives can run hot, so the more ventilation in your case the better or whatever other heat dissipation solution you come up with.
There are a lot of cloning software available but be careful as some of it is not free or fully functional. I used EasUS free 30 day trial very successfully.
Will definitely be looking for mb with at least 2 or more m.2 slots for future build as it eliminates cables/connectors required for drives and keeps the case nice and clean.
WOW...
It arrived the very next day..less than £60 for 512 Gig drive...not that long ago i paid over £120 for 120 gig...yes £1 for every gig..
Anyhoo....ya dont get that tiny stand off an 3mm screw..
But looking in my motherboard box..ASUS ROG STRIX X470-F..i found a pair of stand offs with matching screws..
Whop whoop..
To install i had to remove the graphics card..no biggy ...decided to clean inside of case whilst there..
Then remove heat sink cover..
At this point ya should take pictures of ya NVMe cos ya will need the serial number to claim ya free Acronis 2013..
But personally i already own Acronis 2019...(not 2020 too many bugs for me)..
but its easy as pie to fit..
Did a fresh vanilla Windows 10 PRO 1909..(November update )
Took 5 mins ...yes..FIVE mins..
So i am well chuffed...thing is once ya put ROG heat sink cover on it ..then place ya graphics card back in..there is nothing to see...
Have upped pictures of speed...plus upped pictures of the slow Kingston SSD (its gonna be a scratch disc now..)
Also added piccys of mechanical speed...
So to summarise i am buying another after just one days use..
The only issue I had was installing Windows 10 (2004) on to it.
The drive arrived the same day (fab), installed it in the M2 slot took a few minutes. This was the only drive in the machine, checked the BIOS (X470 MO) detected instantly so this was going to be straight forward.
Booted and Installed Windows 10 (2004) from USB, I got to the start setup screen and it couldn't find the drive and prompted for a driver to be loaded. Checked vendor site no drivers (as what I expected), forums said that the Evo 970 drivers are compatible, loaded them still wouldn't work.
Dropped into the command windows from the repair section run diskpart I could see the drive/partition/volume but Windows still wouldn't work when running through the installer.
Looked at various forums/google a fair few had experienced the same issue most didn't resolve, gave up and returned the drive. I was close to doing the same thing but I was over 5 hours in by this time, after trying various methods to resolve.
When everything else failed, I was tired (early hours etc) I was going to throw in the towel. I thought one last thing, I decided to grab an old version of W10 (1604) well old, booted it up from the USB and hey detected the new drive straight away, everything worked.
I run the windows updates to 1607, this took a while, downloaded the MS assistant installer, to speed up the process and upgraded straight to W10 (2004), finshing any new patches that where needed that took a further 45-60 minutes, never looked back since.
This may seem a drastic approach to some people, I only mention it to try and help somebody else out who may be stuck in the same situation and potentially save them hours.
Conclusion fantastic drive, on par with the EVO 970 - For me the 5 year warranty and longevity helped decide between them. Only downside, it doesn't have the built-in 256 disk Encryption that the EVO has. Nothing that Bitlocker and a TPM couldn't sort out.
After lots of research, the Adata seemed to offer the best price-to-performance ratio and had good reviews.
When I booted up my system and checked the bios, the Adata was already identified so I didn't have to fiddle with anything. It was then just a case of restarting the system with Windows 10 loaded onto a USB stick and the install process had the OS installed within 15 minutes.
The system boots up Windows 10 pro in around 20 seconds and I'm more than happy with that...considering I was coming from a mechanical drive for my last system!
The only regret I'm having is that I may have chosen the wrong size for my own personal needs. I've installed the various software I use on the drive too, but there's still lots of room left, but not enough to have say, all my music, or all my videos saved there too.
I feel like I would have been better off getting a smaller drive and then investing in a larger capacity SSD for files, or opted for the 1gb NVMe version.
Oh, don't forget that this drive doesn';t come with screws, so ensure your motherboard supplies them (mine did) or you'll have to source some via Amaazon.
My main bugbear is that I also got a WD Black for the same price a couple of weeks later. This drive is a decent amount quicker and has much better support utilities too - the AData SSD 'Toolbox' is pretty much a waste of time. On the plus side, this drive is 512Gb rather than the more prevalent 500Gb so you get a bit more room. In the end, I've whacked the WD Black in as a boot drive and am using this as a game drive. Seems to work well. But yeah, would have got 5 stars until the Black got reduced to the same price!
Please see my AS SSD benchmarks of both - these are both taken in the same M2 slot on the same PC - the WD is considerably quicker pretty much across the board.
We did a comparison on two almost identical setups on the same game with mine running from the usual SSD and my friend running from this then we uninstalled and switched. Came out roughly double the speed on this one so for games with frequent loading like fast travel etc then this does greatly improve that experience.
Boot up time is seconds which is impressive. Installation was very easy. I didn't need to change anything in my mobo BIOS to be able to install windows from usb on to it which was a pleasant surprise. I read a lot of articles prior to installing saying its tricky to install windows on an M.2 drive but this just wasn't the case.
Windows took around 10-15 minutes to install.
It came with its own heat-sink which was a nice touch, I didn't use this as my mobo has its own. I just can get over how small these drives are physically, incredible!!! Gives a much neater look to a case without the power or data leads everywhere!
Chose the ADATA XPG over the slightly cheaper but slower PNY XLR8 CS3030 M.2 NVMe 500GB SSD
Only grip is that none of them include screws to fix it onto the motherboard. Had to take one out from the motherboard. So before you buy the screw separately for these, make sure to have a look on your motherboard for what size you need as different motherboards use different sizes. I also have a HP EliteDesk 800 G1 mini which used a bigger size.
My only complaint is that the M.2 card did not come with the screw to fix it to my ASUS motherboard. Due to this, I would recommend checking that the motherboard you plan to install the card has the screw in place (mine didn't) and if not to by a screw kit with a magnetic screwdriver (the screws are really tiny and difficult to get into place).
Then there was the Eureka moment - pop the old drive out of the bay and boot. Now the system booted from the new drive.
Growing the file system to fit on the new drive (new drive > old drive) was trivial - gparted.
Then I had to fix the UUID on the old drive - gparted - trivial apart from you have to have run an fsck before you try. Some frustrating times - but an interesting challenge and all is well in the end.
Transferring a system using Acronis takes a few minutes (unless transferring from a large hard disk when you remember why you need the ssd).
It is a relief to not have to choose what to store on the fastest tier of storage in the system, at least for a while.
It would be helpful if it came with a fixing screw but some motherboards have different size screws. Even my two MSI motherboards have different threads from each other for both standoff and fixing screw. It does come with a heat sink of sorts although I would prefer to use a better one when it is buried underneath a hot graphics card.
Even though I only got the 1TB version this was still a massive steal for my money, I would have got a higher one if I had the money at the time, and I'm considering upgrading my SSD anyway, it's going to be a pain to open it all up but oh well.
Anyway yeah, in conclusion, this is worth the value. I couldn't endorse this any higher, it's the best storage I've ever had. And it's amazing loading into games before I can even snap my fingers.
Also be aware that that the drive is double sided meaning it has components on both sides. This makes it unsuitable for installation in many laptops - like my XPS 13 7390 - which require single sided devices.
In the end I'm returning the drive and replacing it with a Samsung Evo Pro (single sided and hopefully the transfer software will work)
I spent a while checking the web for reviews and recommendations before purchasing this one.
Under speed tests it performs much faster than the stock model and gives a great speed boost. Start-up times for Windows and various apps are snappy.
My only complaint is the the ADATA software doesn't recognise it so I can't check for firmware upgrades but that doesn't affect performance and I'm more than satisfied with this.
The case supplied 5 potential drive options and the mobo supports 2 M.2/MDME drives. I fitted this, easy to fit and once formatted was recognised instantly in Windows 10 - no issues seen.
I'm using this for a drive for some of my Steam games - with all of the hardware mentioned I've never seen games start so quick before.
userbenchmark results - these are the highlights from some of the stats. Its 5 times faster than my Samsung 840 Evo boot drive
Read - 2498
Write - 1596

It was easy to install apart from that pesky m.2 screw!
Doing the windows installation was a pain in the backside though! I had to boot into windows from my old ssd then setup the disk that way.
Not as easy as I would have liked but luckily I’m the IT guy so I sorted it in 20/30 mins.
But the quality of this drive wow! Just blown away!
It does run hotter than my older drive (Western Digital Blue SN550 1tb) and looking on HWINFO one drive (listed as drive 3) on the XPG was getting rather hot, above 90 C! But using my boards included heatsink did the trick though and now stays below 60 under heavy sustained load. Not sure if it was a reporting error on HWINFO or something else unusual, but may be worth bearing in mind for those without board heatsinks, as the included black cover/heat spreader in the box doesn't appear to do much except make it look better.
Time will tell on how reliable it is, but so far so good on the speed front.
UserBenchmark rated my SSD set up at 291%
Easy to install and speed tests put it near the top of my expectations. Best upgrade I have made to my PC.
I am using it with this PCIe adapter: https://www.amazon.co.uk/NVME-Adapter-PCIe-6amLifestyle-Support/dp/B07RZZ3TJG
I chose this product over the more expensive Samsung EVO.
Installed in HP OMEN laptop (replacing the poor Toshiba 128 M.2 SSD) - now boot time is approx 3 secs as measure by task manager start up.
Happy with the performance. Too early to comment on reliability.
Anyone experiencing slow speeds likely don't have the correctly spec'ed MOBO to achieve maximum speeds e.g. only a 2 lane M.2 slot, if you have 2 slots on the MOBO usually only one is connected directly to the CPU and this is the one you should use for max speed as the other slot is likely shared lanes and will be considerable slower
Having said that if the Samsung 970 EVO plus had been on sale a few days earlier I would have bought it for basically the same price
Time will tell if it is durable
It made a difference when saving and using files, my PC feels more responsive, well worth the money.
It's quick, insanely quick.
The read and write speeds really are top notch, I've just put a couple of games on it but pretty much instant load times make it worth every penny.
Only wish I'd bought the 1TB version now but that will be the next purchase.
All id say is do you research first to make sure it fits in your MB, but if it does you won't regret it.
The software to use to transfer my data didn't work either so I used a free one that worked great
On the other side, there is probably no reason for you to buy NVME M.2 drive if your PC is anything different from a top spec £2000+ gaming rig or a server machine. Average consumer PC hardware doesn't have enough power to squeeze out all the juice from a high performance NVME, like this ADATA XPG. You're probably better off saving a couple of pounds buying a cheaper 1tb SATA SSD.
I now have an external back-up SSD that is theoretically faster than the other components of my computer system!
I expect that today I could probably buy a 1Tb SSD for the price I paid.......!
was back up and running in less than a hour.
fantastic .
