Thoughts on this SSD

[dpodblood]

Hey Guys,

Been looking to pick up an SSD for a while now and just spotted this 120GB model on sale for $90 +$10 MIR.

What are the thoughts on this model? Is it worth the price? Is it comparable to other recommended SSD's like the Intel 330, or Crucial M3?

Not a very goo deal, Adata is pretty weak. You can get that sort of drive for $60 or so if you keep your eyes peeled for deals.

ya my dads SSD is a-data too and its 6gbps but gives 375mbps in Crystal

stay away from them, very far away.

Getting 375 MB/s isn't particularly terrible, especially if the deal is right. My thought process was:

1. Adata is a weaker ssd company in both performance, and

2. Quality isn't as high as it is with Samsung, intel, and crucial. Therefore,

3. The deal needs to be killer to go with the Adata, and $60 is about the best price I've seen for that sort of drive.

Thanks guys. Seems like I'm better off just spending the extra $20-30 on an M3 or Intel.

Skip the crucial M3 and go right for the M4 as this is the best deal of all the three major players typically. I am just partial to samsung so I paid a little more.

The crucials go on sale more for some reason. Samsung bundles things with theirs instead.
