3D NAND Flash

The SU800 solid state drive lives up to its Ultimate name with 3D NAND Flash that provides higher storage density, efficiency, and reliability than traditional 2D NAND. It features intelligent SLC caching and a DRAM cache buffer to boost read/write performance even further. Featuring LDPC ECC and technologies such as high TBW (total bytes written) and DEVSLP (Device Sleep), the Ultimate SU800 instantly upgrades notebook and desktop PCs with superior stability, durability, and power efficiency. In addition, users can download ADATA in-house developed SSD Toolbox and Migration Utility software for free to enjoy easy data management and migration.

Intelligent SLC Caching and DRAM Cache Buffer

New generation 3D NAND Flash Implementing advanced 3D NAND Flash, the Ultimate SU800 features bigger storage capacities, higher efficiency, and rugged reliability with better cost-performance ratios than ever. The Ultimate SU800 reaches read/write speeds of 560MB/s and 520MB/s *to accelerate PCs.

Wide Capacity Range And High TBW Thanks to the flexibility of 3D NAND, we can offer the Ultimate SU800 in diverse capacities, ranging from 128GB to 2TB. You get more choices for different needs, whether for an OS boot drive or a mass storage drive. All Ultimate SU800 models provide high TBW (Total Bytes Written), meaning the number of times an SSD can write its entire capacity in one lifespan. The Ultimate SU800’s TBW rating outranks comparable models, indicating a longer-lasting SSD.

Intelligent SLC Caching and DRAM Cache Buffer

The intelligent SLC caching algorithm allows NAND Flash memory to operate in single-level cell mode and boosts read/write performance. In addition, with the support of DRAM Cache Buffer, read/write performance can be as much as double that of solid-state drives that lack a DRAM cache, or in other words that can't use system memory as an SSD buffer for high-intensity tasks.

* Performance may vary based on SSD capacity, host hardware and software, operating system, and other system variables.

Lower Power Consumption, Longer Battery Life

The Ultimate SU800 supports DEVSLP (Device Sleep) technology for better energy efficiency. This results in lower electricity costs and prolonged battery life. Compared to traditional HDDs, the Ultimate SU800 consumes just 8% of the power while in idle mode, and 80% less power during regular operation. For users who often travel or go on business trips, the Ultimate SU800 is a great partner with high mobility and power-saving abilities that go easy on notebook batteries

Easily fits in either a laptop or a desktop

RAID Engine and Data Shaping for Ultimate Protection

By supporting RAID Engine and Data Shaping, the Ultimate SU800 ensures data integrity and delivers extended SSD lifespan for better, longer-lasting stability and return on investment.

Outperforms HDDs with Massive Performance Gain Utilizing high-quality materials and advanced technologies, the Ultimate SU800 outperforms traditional HDDs by a huge factor, with particular benefits in boot up and seek time, as well as overall much faster read/write throughput.

Proprietary Software - SSD Toolbox and Migration Utility

Every Ultimate SU800 purchase qualifies for free downloads of ADATA SSD Toolbox and Migration Utility. SSD Toolbox allows users to monitor and manage the Ultimate SU800, with drive status, wear level, and lifespan information. Data migration utilities are especially helpful for users making the move from HDD to SSD, as they are designed for simple and quick backup and migration of the contents of entire drives, including the operating system.

Great hard drive replacement, fast and reliable, but be sure it fits your case.

Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2019

Verified Purchase

For my programming and media uses, I picked this 1TB SSD because of the speed and the fact I wanted an onboard memory/hard drive device for my raspberry PI.

I find it very reliable, very responsive when retrieving documents, and I am able to do things like write programs while blasting my music, stored on the SSD (I have close to 5000 songs loaded on my card) and using the VLC player, I've created playlists where I can just leave the songs crank on my three-speaker system that was part of one of my windows PC media centers, so it has its own power source and doesn't draw it from the raspberry PI card, and right and run my own code.

I've been running it now for close to three weeks nonstop as I now use my raspberry PI as my main computer, and I've had no issues with the memory card at all. I've had no lost files I've had no corrupted areas, and the SSD card comes up immediately.

The only thing I wish I could've done differently, and this is due to my inexperience in Raspberry and forgetful of my UNIX days, is to properly set the card up so that my device just boots from the microSD card and everything else is stored on the SSD memory. What I wish I could've done differently was as soon as I created the first partition was to format the SSD into a 1TB partition rather than let it create thousands of partitions as I add new files and programs.

No I gave this card a three star rating or ease of installation because when you look at the photo and the lack of anything in the description, it seemed like it would fit one of the cases that I purchased, but when I got it I was rudely awakened to the fact that it does not fit. So my advice to you is unless you plan to 3D print your own case, if you are used to an open air system for your raspberry PI, then this actually would be a five star installation. But be careful when trying to purchase a case to enclose this SSD card. My next raspberry PI will use the shorter SSD cards and they will fit in a double height case.

Excellent upgrade for old PC - but see included tips to save headaches

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2017

Verified Purchase

I bought this SSD drive along with RAM Crucial 4GB Kit (2GBx2) DDR3-1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) Non-ECC UDIMM 240-Pin Desktop Memory CT2KIT25664BA160B / CT2CP25664BA160B to breathe new life into an old Dell Inspiron 570 PC.

Historically, I have been somewhat of a brand snob for storage WD Black & Hitachi Deskstar for HDD’s and Samsung EVO/EVO Pro for SSD’s. But was looking for an economical and practical upgrade for a secondary system for web surfing, email, and online shopping. I had not heard of the ADATA brand before but after reading the great reviews on ADATA, I decided to give it a chance. So far I am extremely pleased with my purchase.

The Pros:
• Much less expensive than the Samsung 850 EVO - 120GB
• Massive boot speed improvement over HDD alone
• Super fast and free shipping with Prime

The Cons:
• Drive is fine for OS install – but need to keep files and other large programs and data on a second drive (looking at you MS Office and Overwatch)
• Warranty is 3yr versus 5yr/75TB for Evo

Pro tips:
• You may need to buy a HDD to SSD mounting kit like the Icy Dock ICY DOCK 2.5" to 3.5" SAS / SATA HDD & SSD Converter / Mount / Kit / Adapter - EZConvert MB882SP-1S-2B

• If you have a SFF (small form factor PC or laptop) and/or are transferring an entire existing boot drive to a new SSD - buy a USB 3.0 to SSD SATA cable – it’s probably the best $8 you’ll ever spend for computer hardware Sata Cable - Lumsing USB 3.0 to SSD / 2.5-Inch SATA cable Hard Drive Adapter [Optimized For SSD, Support UASP SATA III ]

• There are multiple freeware apps to help with system transfer. However, I had to shrink my C partition to the same size of the new SSD in order for the copy program that I selected (EaseUS Disk Copy) to work

• Caution! You may run into “unmovable blocks” that prevent shrinking your primary drive to 128GB. You will need to turn off hibernation mode and/or reduce virtual memory size to zero in order to complete the shrink. Took me a couple hours to figure that out – hope to save you some time and aggravation.

I was looking at using this SSD from a build that I was told to get and I got to hand it to a data they definitely know how to make a good product I use this as one of my system hard drives so when the computer turns on it turns on quick however this is only a two hundred gigabyte I really was in between deciding if I wanted to get it mdot2 or get something like this the value was there and I could not afford a 1 terabyte SSD m. 2 until then I was deciding to get this the su800 is very reliable I was able to install it very easily on the back it has four screws to screw it to the chase the cables fit nice and easy the only problem and con that I have with this product is I wish you would have sent me a SSD cable with it I've been noticing even with my other SSD hard drive nobody sends you the cables I don't know if that's a certain thing special thing however I believe if you're paying for a product such as a hard drive they should send you one of the cables with it other than that this is a great product I recommend it to everybody just make sure you guys understand the gigabytes of how much storage you're actually getting and the opportunity of using this on the system files so it could start up quicker

This SSD of mine got crash in 11 months. Then it was in warranty period so I got it repaired again, now it is running very well. SSD runs very fast. I tell everyone to install SSD in their computer.

Bought this to replace the OEM hard drive in a laptop. One installed, it makes a noticable improvement in the disc access speed. Laptop boots up and retrieves and saves large files just a bit faster. Can't say there was a noticeable reduction in battery consumption, but that would be hard to determine without running formal tests. Note that to replace the main drive in a laptop you must clone the c: drive onto the SSD prior to installation, which requires a special cable to connect the SSD to a usb port, and cloning software. The cable I got came with the software, but switching the drives out takes some tech savvy, or doing some research and trying something new.

CLIENTE SATISFECHO, FÁCIL DE INSTALAR, EXCELENTES PRESTACIONES DEL SSD/SU800

Reviewed in Mexico on January 30, 2021

Capacity: 512GBStyle: 3DVerified Purchase

El SSD SU800 de ADATA, de excelentes prestaciones y tecnología actualizada, de 512 GB, 560 MB de lectura y 520 MB de escritura, llegó en el tiempo establecido y en excelente estado, siempre me sorprende la paquetería de Amazon Prime, el valor de la membresía es superior a su costo. Aclaro, no soy experto en hardware ni software, pero las ventajas del e-commerce y marketing digital permiten hoy en día hacer muchas tareas por cuenta propia y esta es una de ellas. Debo decir, me fue de gran utilidad los comentarios de los demás compradores para realizar mi propio proceso y guiarme con tutoriales de YouTube, abatiendo costos de instalación y manteniendo la seguridad del equipo en mis manos. Resultado: un cambio radical en el desempeño de mi portátil Toshiba Corei7 de tercera generación, pasé de 1 minuto en el arranque/inicio a 18 segundos y pude acceder a las ventanas de office y Web en 2 segundos, increíble, claro, me ayuda mi procesador turbo y la memoria RAM de 8GB, pero el cambio es sorprendente, adicionalmente, hace tiempo adquirí en Amazon una antena Wifi para captar señal 5G de los modem dual band, ya que mi tarjeta de red integrada sólo acepta la banda 2.4GHz, el cambio me permite navegar a 50 megas estables de velocidad, ahora tengo un equipo de 3ª generación pero actualizado con un óptimo desempeño, por una inversión menor y un aprendizaje personal.

PROCEDIMIENTO: 1) Adquirí el SSD SU80 junto con una carcasa ADATA para realizar la copia del sistema operativo y office desde el disco duro HDD. 2) Realice prueba/error de los programas para copiar el HDD al SSD, hasta que llegué al software AOMEI PARTITION ASSISTANT STANDARD EDITION 7.5, de licencia legal/gratis por ser una versión anterior, pero permite clonar muy bien. 3) Coloqué el SSD en la carcasa y lo conecte vía USB al portátil Toshiba, en el menú inicio, en CREAR Y FORMATEAR PARTICIONES DE DISCO DURO o ADMINISTRACIÓN DE DISCOS, hay que realizar el proceso de INICIAR y CREAR UN NUEVO VOLUMEN para él SSD, reconociéndolo por sus características y por el número de unidad externa de acuerdo a los puertos USB donde se conecte (A, B, E, F, etc.), lo anterior para que el sistema lo reconozca y se pueda realizar la copia, teniendo precaución que el ESTILO DE PARTICIÓN o REGISTRO DE ARRANQUE MAESTRO del nuevo disco, en este caso el SSD, sea exactamente el mismo que tiene el disco que se va a sustituir (HDD), ya sea MBR o GPT, de no ser así, la copia será errónea y se tendrá problemas de arranque del nuevo disco una vez que se instale. 4) Apliqué el procedimiento de Copia Rápida de AOMEI y quedó clonado el disco en aproximadamente 20 minutos. 5) Para cerciorarme de que la copia fue correcta, opté por entrar a la BIOS del portátil (hay varias formas de entrar a la BIOS de acuerdo a la marca de la PC o portátil), en el menú o pestaña que dice BOOT o ARRANQUE, cambie el orden y puse al SSD vía USB en primer lugar, cerré la BIOS, reinicié el portátil y al iniciar nuevamente, la Toshiba arrancó con el sistema operativo desde el USB con el nuevo SSD SU800, un éxito la copia. 6) También mediante tutoriales, desarmé sin riesgo la Laptop (hay que ver unos 3 o más tutoriales para estar seguros), realmente muy fácil, hay que tener desarmadores miniatura para quitar tapas y desconectar la pila y listo, se cambia el HDD por el nuevo SSD, se colocan nuevamente las tapas y la pila de la Laptop, se enciende y listo, arranca con el nuevo SSD SU800, una mejoría notable de 18 segundos de arranque y 2 segundos para abrir office y Web. 7) Finalmente, estando creativo, motivado y con paciencia, con tutoriales me anime a desarmar la Laptop, quité el teclado y llegué hasta las tarjetas, en mi caso no estaba demasiado sucia, solo el ventilador percudido con pelusa, con una brocha limpie los enfriadores y desmonte el ventilador con cuidado para limpiarlo, también limpie algunas partes metálicas que tenían polvo, no toque circuitos, hay que desconectar y conectar con mucho cuidado algunos enchufes de circuitos para retirar el teclado, use el líquido Perfect Choice para limpieza, armé nuevamente el equipo y ahora el ventilador trabaja mejor, dejo de hacer ruido. Es solo mi experiencia, insisto, gracias el e-commerce y marketing digital, espero les sea de utilidad.
