  • If your wanting to upgrade PS5 internal storage this is Best afforable SSD it will WORK
Color: [LEGEND 840] 5000/4500MB/s Capacity: 1TB
Purchased strictly to upgrade internal storage for the PS5. Must be a Gen4 NVMe type SSD. Yes there are many other SSD's with slightly higher read/write speeds etc. that cost way more... But why the PS5 is limeted to a specific speed which this ADATA 840 Legend meets. The installation on the PS5 is a Breeze... the hardest was removing the Top Panel of the Console for the first. So if you are on the Fence about this SSD working on the PS5....?? Trust me it does... and is Fast just as Fast as the interal SSD built in the PS5 ... show more

  • Failed after 1 year of off and on use.
Color: [Falcon] 3100/1500MB/s Capacity: 2TB
My issue with this hard drive is that it failed for no logical reason other than it has bad chips or something. I had been using it off and on every weekend with my laptop powered off for most of that without any power plugged into it. Data started randomly getting corrupted and now it is causing my system to lock up. I've pulled it out of my system and have plugged it into a USB NVME adapter and am trying to get my data off of it. This is my first NVME that has failed on me and it is disappointing as it's my largest drive. I had my hesitations on buying. Now when I try to submit a warranty request on their website their submission pages to contact them keep on failing. I'll continue trying and will update my review if I am able to get a warranty replacement. Regardless this was massively inconvenient and is proving to be more difficult than any other warranty process I've dealt with in my 20 years of dealing with computers. I don't think I'm going to try Adata again in the future. ... show more

  • Swordfish vs Falcon
Color: [Swordfish] 1800/1200MB/s Capacity: 2TB
I have the 2tb versions of both the FALCON and the SWORDFISH. Both have TLC flash memory, which is almost always better than QLC, so good there. Both have decent endurance of 960 TB for a cheap drive, some say this is low but I'd rate it "ok". These are both dramless ssds, meaning that lower power for notebooks, but also lower performance. IOPS are "ok" for a consumer drive, they feel like an SSD. The advertised sequential read of 1800MBps and write of 1200MBps seems about right so far for smaller sequential jobs on the SWORDFISH, while the FALCON really does hit a bit over 3300MBps reads and 1500ish writes! Both use a certain amount of its TLC cells as fast SLC cache, it is pretty good right up until you hit the cache limit, which is pretty generous. Tom's hardware says it is up to 1/3 of the *remaining* unused capacity. Yes, copying a lot of files over to my new SWORDFISH, it did SLOW down to about hard drive speed (~120MB/ps) during a full drive fill up! That is closer to QLC speeds honestly. From reviews, the FALCON does not slow down as much, but I have not tested that. (I had no need to, the FALCON is in a different machine/use and I have just not needed to fill it up with a large sequential file write... probably will not use it that way.) Drives that use SLC cache do recover after flushing the slc cache, so day to day use if fine, and again really only an issue for very large copies. But yes there are reasons for the 970 and 980 Pros from Samsung which don't drop off much at all on full drive writes. I'd say either is a great *capacity* upgrade for older pcie 3.0 notebooks in particular. The FALCON is strange in that it has very fast sequential read speed, but really much lower write speed. Far superior sequential read speed is the only real advantage of the FALCON over the SWORDFISH, but they have the same IOPS rating which dictates how the drive feels in terms of responsiveness, so for regular users the FALCON may only benefit you more when you sometimes copy a lot of large files. If the prices are close get the FALCON, but if it is just for a work laptop there should not be a whole lot of difference. Reviews in the tech press show just a little bit faster loading time for gamers, so, fwiw. ... show more

  • Great performer for the budget
Color: [LEGEND 840] 5000/4500MB/s Capacity: 1TB
Been running the ADATA NVME drive for the past few weeks. Easy install, good overall performance, and perfect price point at the purchased price. ADATA is a well-known brand with respectable performance and reliability.

  • Cheap, but appears to be a good value
Color: [Swordfish] 1800/1200MB/s Capacity: 250GB
I recently came into the possession of a gently used Lenovo 910q mini PC, and decided to turn it into a media center PC. It had no drive being a refurb, but I have parts on hand so didn't worry. I have a handful of SATA M.2 drives, but found out this mini PC only supports NVMe / PCIe M.2 drives in the M.2 bay. As I will only be using this as a jukebox or media center PC, I wanted to spend the bare minimum on a NVMe drive. I found there wasn't enough difference between 120/128GB and 240/250/256GB drives in pricing to insist on a 120GB drive, so went hunting for an affordable 250. The lowest cost drive in this category was this Adata Swordfish. It appears to indeed get 1800mb read speeds, which is a nice improvement when compared to 550mb max for SATA, but the really important factor for me was cost. Few drives came close, especially since it had a coupon. The drive has been running well for a few days. I was concerned the heatsink would be too large to fit in the mini PC case since it's mounted close to flush with the bottom lid, but it barely fits. If I have a drive failure I'll update this review, but as it stands, this is the best cheap NVMe drive I've found. It doesn't appear to be getting very warm, but it also isn't getting a serious workout. Good enough for me. ... show more

  • Be careful when buying for a ps5, check the PCI gen of the version you purchase.
Color: [Falcon] 3100/1500MB/s Capacity: 2TB
I saw that the gen 3x4 version was on sale and purchased it for my ps5, seeing that the reviews on this page said it worked for ps5; when i installed it and turned it on my PS5 said that the SSD was not compatible. What I didn't notice was that there are multiple products with different PCI gen (3x4, 4x4...) and all the reviews are consolidated onto the same page, which leads to mistakes like this. I have no clue how well this performs, and will have to buy a separate external enclosure in order to use this with my PS5. I plan to use it to mainly store my digital PS4 games so it's not a huge bummer, but really wish they would use separate pages for amazon reviews, it makes no sense to have different products fall into the same bucket. ... show more
