This is an excellent drive and great value for the money. I'm having a substantially increased file speed transfer experience when using it with my Dell XPS 14Z on my usb 3.0 port.
A couple of notes on potential problems you may experience that are not truly related to the quality of the drive itself -
1) USB 3.0 devices are known to put put a good deal of "noise" and can interfere with the operation of wireless mice, keyboards, or other devices that you may already be using, particularly those working in the 2.4 ghz range. I had such a problem with a wireless mouse that was plugged in directly next to my usb 3.0 port. The problem only occurred when my ADATA drive was plugged in and rendered my mouse almost useless. I was able to remedy the problem completely by using a usb hub to plug in my mouse dongle, which gets the dongle a few inches away from the interference and allows the mouse to work perfectly. A short usb extension cable would accomplish the same thing. And if you have a usb port located away from your 3.0 port, try using that port before you do anything else. Getting a few inches of distance between the 3.0 device and your wireless dongle is the key. (A better shielded drive might have eliminated this problem but then again, it might not have.)
2) Files over 4gb won't transfer to the ADATA unless you change the file formatting. Like most devices of this sort, the ADATA drive comes pre-formatted with the FAT32 setup that limits the file size to 4gb and under. But it is easy to re-format the drive as soon as you take it out of the package to NTFS formatting, which allows for larger file transfers (Google it, it's easy). Of course, 4gb is a really, really huge file, so most people will never have this concern but it is easily remedied if you encounter this problem.
