    • Beware when removing the heatsink. Otherwise, a great product!
Color: [Swordfish] 1800/1200MB/s Capacity: 1TB
Review Image by Ki
This is a very affordable and decently speedy NVME M.2 SSD to populate those slots on any motherboard. Only thing I should caution on is that the heatsink comes pre-installed out of the box. First time around, I tried to gently peel off the heatsink, and I ended up snapping one of the 3D NAND chips cleanly off its lead. If you must need the heatsink removed for placement under a motherboard M.2 heatsink, then I'd use a razor blade or something, or let the SSD warm up during normal usage before attempting to remove. I was able to get a replacement unit after returning the now-defective product. Speeds are very impressive for the price, and that is where all of my games primarily run off of. ... show more

    • NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ANY MOTHERBOARD BE WARE
Color: [Swordfish] 1800/1200MB/s Capacity: 2TB
Go on your motherboard support page and check for compatibility. This SSD is not listed anywhere as compatible with ANY motherboard or operating system. I have had nothing but constant bugs and crashes for almost a year with ADATA not claiming any responsibility. ZERO issues with an SSD listed as compatible by my motherboard manufacturere. Why is it not compatible? The integrated storage controller is utter garbage. To get the price down they made a cacheless nvme SSD which allowed them to cheap out on the storage controller which is straight up weak and unable to handle extensive work loads. When updating windows, even minor updates, would force the SSD into a 100% use state and the controller just turns off and does not turn back on, making the ssd disappear from the BIOS. The moment you reset CMOS and completely power off the system, the SSD comes back to life as if nothing happened. These issues can happen several times in a day or once a year. For me it happens at random when I am simply trying to get work done. DO NOT BUY THIS SSD, Buy the XPG SX8200 or any other SSD. Overpaying is better in this case. This is simply cheap garbage. ... show more

    • Trash SSD
Color: [Swordfish] 1800/1200MB/s Capacity: 2TB
This drive has been installed in my system for less than 2 months. It’s been used extremely lightly. As in, download a few games and play them. It died on me already. Garbage tier SSD. Luckily I had my Windows installed on another Samsung SSD. I’ve learned my lesson. I would understand a drive failure years into ownership, but less than two months??? I built my system October 21st, to give some perspective. I will never purchase another ADATA product in my life and will recommend my friends and family stay far away from this junk brand. ... show more

    • Horrendously slow random read speeds
Color: [Falcon] 3100/1500MB/s Capacity: 2TB
When accesing large libraries it slows to a crawl. My applications regularly lock-up when searching large databases of files. SInce I bought this before my laptop actually came, unfortunately it is no longer eligible for return. Really wish I could. I'll be replacing it as soon as I can with something else. My Sabrent Rocket Q will play an mp3 as fast as less than a second. This one takes 3-5 seconds on every file. This will go back in the box and collect dust as a "lesson learned" to never buy Adata drives (at least with no caching). Buy something else. ... show more

    • It works, mostly.

The posted speeds (1800/1200) are accurate. I ran a crystaldisk bench and the temps stayed controlled thanks to the heat spreader.

    • 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
