Thanks for this video TD! Thanks also for including the HDD read/write data comparing those to SATA SSD! This (if nothing else) should convice anybody about the HDD/SSD switch!
They don't convince me. I've used SSDs and HDDs and I prefer HDDs. The size to price is so much better with HDDs that I don't care about lower performance. My computer boots up and opens apps and files fast enough for me. I'll stick with my HDDs.
@@emilysweets4048 In general this is not a choice that has to be made. You can buy a $20-25$ 120 GB SSD and have a huge HDD as well. It will speed up the system incredibly and stay in the cheapest of budgets.
@@emilysweets4048 I agree with Hunter! I use both SSD(s) and HDD(s) in all my PCs, both have their preferred respective use: SSD for the op system and programs and for files used often for e.g. work, whereas HDD for storage of large, inoften used files (movies, backups, etc.) ... :)!
Hunter is right: there is a legitimate rationale for using both SSDs and HDDs ... :)!
@@emilysweets4048 seriously, get a cheap 120/250 GB SSD for just the operating system and other stuff like browsers, office, etc. The difference is literally night and day, and you can still have a 1/2 TB HDD for mass storage of large files. I cannot stress the difference enough, Windows is super snappy and everything opens in an instant. I have a 120 GB cheapo kingston SSD with windows and a 2 TB HDD for all my games. I could never go back to using my OS via HDD.
This man makes a video about storage interesting...let that sink in...hes good ! Very good !
Thank you for mentioning my SSD! I just got the AData SU800 256GB SSD and it's my first time using an SSD as a boot drive. The difference is HUGE!
Always nice to see a sensible presentation of budget range hardware.
With logic behind the arguments.
The hero without a cape... TECH DEALS!!
Great vid. I bought the su800 1T based on your recommendations a month ago for my personal gaming PC. Not the same performance as my old 250G Samsung, but it plays games and boots much much faster than the 7200rpm drive I just installed for a friend. Keep up the great work.
I have bought several of these drives in the 120GB and 250GB flavor for budget builds, they are great drives for the price and I haven’t had one fail yet. Not the fastest, but price to performance I’ve found them very good overall. I just bought another that’s going in a build with an i5 3570 that I plan to donate.
I love how Tech Deals gives a genuine balanced review of the products. A lot of reviews fail to truly factor in value as an element in their review, which simply is not realistic. If a product is slightly better, but notably more expensive, then it's not always the best choice for consumers.
I love seeing those prices for 1TB SSDs. Wasn't that long ago that 1TB SSDs were well over $200. Its nice seeing higher capacity drives finally reaching more affordable levels. Four years ago I was paying over $300 to get a used 500GB 840 Evo and I thought that was a good deal at the time. For under half the price you can now buy a 1TB SSD that is faster than my SSD.
About reliability: In Feb I will have been using that drive as my boot and primary storage drive for five years and it still works perfectly fine. Not sure exactly how much I've written on it at that time, but the drive is usually pretty full until I get around to deleting stuff or moving things to my backup drive so it is has been pretty well used in that time.
I watched your previous videos and purchased Samsung Evo 860 250gb SSD. It's been 5 months and I have filled only 1tb of write. So guys trust him if he says nowadays write limit doesn't matter much. i have 150tb limit, by my current usage rate i'm gonna fill the limit in 62 years 😂😂😂
Something tells me you won't be using that drive in 62 years :)
😂😂😂
That's not a "limit", that just a guaranteed resource. In fact 850 evo of similar size (250gb) can withstand even about 2000tb writes (or ~2 petabytes). Those who utilize MLC memory - 3+ petabytes. Even cheapest brands often can provide 150+ tb of writes
The problem of ssd today is no longer TBW but sudden death. There is still no technology to prevent sudden death
@@anticeon true thats why make windows drive backups to a couple of hdds just in case.
Currently ADATA's XPG SX8200 is going for a really good price considering it's an NVMe and a fast one at that (Keeps up with the 970 Evo), it's going at $200 while normal 1 tb SSDs like the MX500 are going for $150~.
I have a 960gb ssd from them and it performs respectively. Probably not the absolute fastest in the world but made a huge difference when I replaced my laptop’s original hard drive. In the right perspective these can be a great purchase.
I’ve been a subscriber back when you were at 17k subs. Your content has always been very helpful for me when it comes to buying pc parts or just just curious about certain hardware.
One of the few areas you and I can agree to disagree is on the concept of a $1500 build deserves a better ssd than a $1000 build. I’m a fan of lowest price for the requirements I have getting met (one of which is always good quality). But honestly, if it is the right drive for my $1000 build, unless my needs change, it is the right drive for my $1500 build. Great vid, good perspective on what the numbers really mean, and yes, if I can save $17 or more on everything I am buying for my build, that adds up nicely, so I will...
keep them coming, like the last month or so if vids, classic tech deals content!!! 👍🏻
Disagreement is the spice of life... we can still be friends :)
Tech Deals Agree to agree.. :)
awesome video, I have the SU650 for my boot drive and it has been nothing but great to me at $30 for the 120 GB a few months ago
Just thought I'd post this, even though it's a year after this video first aired. Avoid the Adata SU650 drives like the plague! I purchased one after viewing this video, thought it would be a good secondary SSD to hold my Users folder data, as my original boot SSD was completely full. I've now had to return this drive 3 times under warranty, due to bad sectors. Obviously I'm not blaming TD for this, they had no way of knowing the reliability of this. Adata does honor the warranty without question, so I have no complaints about that, but there is some kind of quality control issue with this generation of their drives. I had a previous generation smaller Adata SSD that is completely bulletproof, has been running for 3 years without fail.
I bought a smaller 124 gb for a boot drive and you even get a link for migration software (to save reinstalling win 10) and a handy UI to optimise your SSD , for what i paid in England i would recommend this drive, and it was a good purchase in my opinion , Nice Video , thanks for helping us out :)
silicon power 512gb ssd is 64.99 on amazon as well I just ordered it
Me too
@@gavinthehumanboy6065 nice its a steal
Thanks guy's, ordering one now.
@@santiagoferrari1973 got 2 of those myself. Using in some old laptops.
Rock Lee Yeah, I just built a computer for my buddy using that as his main SSD. Highly recommend it. General OS experience is phenomenal, that thing is plenty fast. This is coming from someone that uses a 960 evo in his main rig. I can't feel a difference in the experience, without a side by side at least.
don't let that benchmark fool you, ssds like su800 have 40GB area in SLC mode (1bit per cell) and writes land initially in that area. Benchmarks will just check that performance. Once you copy something larger, like 100GB, speed will drop to 80MB/sec sequential. 4k speeds will be much worse. So drive will slow down a lot.
The SU650 will be much worse, the SLC area smaller, no DDR memory, so for larger writes, will slow even more.
I'm not saying the SU650 is a bad drive. I'm not saying they all fail, but My SU650 died after SIX months of service yesterday. It had very low writes. It is completely dead. Can't see it, can't format it, can't check disk, can't anything. It is literally a paperweight. I was using my PC, suddenly nothing would open and windows was acting weird. I restart. "No operating system detected". Complete death. Thankfully I'm a giant nerd and I had another SSD that I could swap in and the day was saved, but still... 6 months? There was no power surge. I have a surge protector in my breaker box and the PC is connected to a good quality surge protector.
didnt know ssd's were going so cheap. stopped looking a long time ago.
Good work mate.
su650 - slightly cheaper
su800 - slightly more storage and speed, slightly higher price
Thank you so much Tech Deals love your content. I will order some ADATA SSD's now..
Greetings program!
@@CyberClu He's not a program. He's an Adata USER!
I went with the Evo 860 during a recent deal on Amazon which put the price like 10-15 USD above Adata/Kingston, this was purely due to my recent experience with a Transcend SSD which failed after three years and the warranty had expired by then :( The warranty matters and sometimes things go wrong.
this guy is a genuine and detailed reviewer. don't have to see someone elses video if this guy makes one
I am using su 650, it's not as bad as you would think vs su 800 as long as it's not HDD or SSHD. The difference is not significance for the su 650 vs flagships sata3. But the prices per gb is about the same now for SU 650 vs su800, SU800 has 20 gb extra, so it's maybe a little more expensive.
Keep in mind that SSD and NVMe prices are continuously dropping and rumor says that it will continue even until 2019 due to over supply. So don't buy if you don't need to yet.
i back to the future, and this is real.
And now they are getting more expensive
lldoarll gl i am from the future now ssd fucking high price
@@luqmanooo5402 low in my country
Thanks for clarifying writing cycles..it helped a lot...i was always afraid of ssds and concerned of premature failure.
If you can please make a complete hdd to ssd conversion video for boot drive, without any proprietary software ,along with disabling "unwanted system service disabling"
i.e. super fetch, etc. If those really matter and formating precautions.
These prices have me rethinking my StoreMi (250GB SSD-2TB HDD) setup. May just switch to a straight 1TB SSD soon for game drive and just keep the HDD for photos and other backups.
Your attention to detail is awesome. Good job.
If this prices were the same here non murican. FeelsBadMan
+30%
@Max Pain That's because sovereign states do not care about "global economy" ;-)
I know in Colombia is three times it's price.
I had to pay 30$ for 120gb and these guys get 500gb for 60$ 😫😫😫😫
@Max Pain But you have a better salary
By far some the best reviews/advice on computer hardware on RUclips! Keep up the great work! My Ryzen 7 build is in much part to you sir!
I bought su650 960gb for 109$ on eBay last week
Great video! Clear and concise information.
How about the differences when using SSDs installed using SATA vs PCIe?
Yall should be proud today i went an purchased some tweezers for cable management.
great video, I feel like 90% of people shouldn't be using HDDs anymore at all honestly unless it's something like a server then of course go ahead but for me I like using M.2 NVMe SSDs for boot drives and standard SSDs like this one for game drives, I just simply refuse to have a standard HDD in any of my systems in 2018.
It depends on most games a hdd is perfectly fine for gaming. I got a 4tb wd hdd simply because the price was so much better then the sdd. Its for storage and good for most of games. I'm getting a ssd for some of my slower games.
I will be purchasing the Adata 240 GB drives for $31 each. They will be the primary boot drives for refurbished old computers that are more than five years old. I'm not worried if the drives prematurely go bad because much of the programming and files will be backed up and duplicated elsewhere. They will be used to give new life to old systems along with upgraded video cards.
I found ADATA SU800 256GB for 69$ in a 3rd world country so I consider it a great deal... Great video as always!!!
It’s actually a very decent drive. My main boot drive is the adata su800. So good so far.
I own several cheapo SSDs and haven't had any issues with any of them. Of course most of my systems are fairly ancient, some are still running SATA II so they can't even begin to max out the speed even the cheapest SSD can actually do. But I'm more concerned with having no data loss and so far that hasn't been a problem, and I still get a huge speed boost even using SATA II.
I just feel good watching his reviews 😁
Killer review! A perfect illustration of the law of diminishing returns.
Back when top-of-the-line Sata SSDs commanded a premium I used to buy Centon and Teamgroup, reasonable good drives.
Now that the 860 is basically just 70 instead of 60$ at the 500G size I didn't bother and just snagged one for my Ryzen desktop.
Everyone who hasn't cloned the boot drive with Samsung data migration tool (like 3 clicks) doesn't know what he is missing, that's how user experience should be!
I have an old AMD FX 6100 running Windows 7 and a cheap SSD hopefully will breath new life into it. Saw a 128 GB SSD for $40. A cheap upgrade to an old system.
I have a 128GB Samsung 840 pro ssd that I bought in 2013 as windows boot drive. Several years ago I checked the level of writes to the drive and was up to 875 gb's worth.
Great Video, im looking towards possibly using one of the Adata drives to help upgrade my wifes older pc. After watching the video today, and looking at Amazon, as of when i write this post, it seems the Su800 1TB drive has only a $2 price difference against the Su650 960 GB drive on Amazon as of right now.
January 2019, and at an online shop I see a Crucial BX500 (240 GB) for only 3,00 EUR more than an ADATA "Ultimate SU650" of 240 GB. If ADATA is so "bad", then a BX500 cannot be that much better. I am using a BX500 as a bootdrive (for a short while) and it runs fine.
Honestly for what do SSDs are the way go go. SanDisk and Kingston are rocking my Laptop and PC. I can run perfect audio editing software with almost no lag.
Interesting. I had that su650 in a customer's machine and it died after a year. Just died. Could be that the drive is faulty but as you said that if they last a week they will last forever, I guess that's not a rule.
Put windows and a heavy/big program whit a long loadtime on a cheap ssd, a good ssd and a nvme. Put the disc' in the same machine one at a time and measure the time from the click on the mouse to the program is ready. That will show the difference in real use. Easy to relate to compared to a number in a benchmark. Just an idea 💡
Thanks for one of the best tech channels 👍🏽😊
My biggest sticking point is getting a small nvme drive (250GB) or larger sata drive (480GB+)
I currently run a Samsung 120GB Samsung 850evo as a boot drive and it is great in my older ivy bridge system I would like my games to have better load times as I play a lot of open world rpgs
I was just looking at ssds the other day and saw the low price on the adata drives and wondering if they were worth it. Ive been using a crucial 128gb in my pc as a boot drive for at least 5 yrs now and it hasnt given me any problems except for the size which I guess I will fix soon. Thank you for this video;)
Haha I've got that case. I love it! But more to the point, I recently also purchased a pair of 120Gb SP SSD's for two of my retro computers. Haven't used them yet, but for $16/each? I couldn't say no!
I'm gonna use this as my primary drive on a r5 2600x rx580 build thanks I was looking all day for a good budget SSD
SIKE SU800 1TB ONLY COUPLE BUCKS MORE
I've been using a 240(SP900) Adata for 4-5 years in a 2009 Dell XPS 630i without problem from it other than small size. It was originally a Vista machine that I put Win 7 on when I upgraded the drive. Now the same drive has been moved to an i5 pc and the XPS retired because the mainboard didn't support Win 10 and the deadline is near. Anyway,I just ordered this- ADATA SU635 480GB 3D-NAND QLC SATA 2.5 inch Internal SSD (ASU635SS-480GQ-R)- to use as main drive then I will wipe the 240 and use as secondary. I paid $44.99 after sales tax and got free shipping. All things considered how did I do?
I'm waiting on delivery and will be using the pc to do both gaming(fantasy + run-n-gun)and surfing the net for news and other video. i5 mainboard,3.5G CPU,AMD R9 200. It's a "thrown together" machine I got nearly free,lol,I'm cheap.
It is cheap and it is faster than spinning drive. And if you do not make backups, you will lose your data even on samsung evo.
Even on a mechanical drive you'll lose data.
Discovered your channel. Thank you for this! Gotta subscribe
What do you know?
Have this same drive in a VMWare FX 8320 based hypervisor system
I needed SSD drive speeds even if not the fastest I could get thus this drive
Tech Deals, the RUclips channel that never stops giving
Keep it up and cheers
Now i need another video for comparing boot up speeds comparison! But like this one(I mean i don't care about numbers JUST the real life comparison)
It's simple really, get a Samsung 500GB for your OS and whatever else you want to fit on there. If you need any more locally throw in a cheap ADATA 1TB and you're set. Added bonus is silent operation. All my other large data storage is centralised on my NAS. I think thanks to NVMe large sata ssd's have come down a lot in price lately to the point where there's litterally no excuse to still run a mechanical harddrive in your PC unless you need to store very large amounts of data locally.
You should do a video on the Inland Professional drives. Not only is the 480GB Inland $4 cheaper currently but it has a higher TBW rating at 340.
Good video. I’m gonna use this for my old PS3. Any drive I put it in will be better than the 5400RPM drive from 2008
I've been told defragmenting SSD is not required so why I got substantial performance boost after copying game files on external memory, deleting it from SSD, defragmenting (I used Defraggler software) and writing game data back to this SSD? 20+ FPS and faster loading textures.
Cheers.
Older SSDs have a substantially longer lifespan than these newer cheap ones. That's why you have 8 year old drives on your shelf that work. Also, as a boot drive, don't forget about the page file that is constantly writing to the drive. This will greatly decrease the lifespan.
dude u look so familer but i could be wrong... anyways just subbed you because ur def one of those guys that are different from other tech dudes...
It would be more better, if you include some game load, fps test comparison between su650 & evo850/860 !
This provided useful information, thank you. My setup came with a the SU650 (boot) and a 2700x, I'm thinking of replacing with a NVMe. Slower SSDs are good as secondary/media HDD replacements.
I recently got the ADATA 256gb ssd for 50$ and I ain't even mad. It's honesty some good bang for the buck hands down.
Thanks. I am looking to buy SSD's and you did answer some of my questions.
Good video, thanks. I hear SSD prices are gonna keep dropping throughout 2019, I am holding off as long as possible, hopefully by 2020 I'll be able to retire all my spinning storage drives.
Apparently, even hard drives can last a long time since my Toshiba Satelite 330cds laptop still has its original 4.1 gb hard drive manufactured in October of 1998.
`bought a 1TB SU650 for my games last week...164$CAD which is 122$US and i'M very happy with it.
Nice, hopefully it drops down to 40 bucks on black Friday/ cyber Monday.
From my perspective I use these strictly for boot drives and do not trust SSDs for data storage. I don't see any value or merit in spending that much more for a Samsung drive when the Adata is still using Samsung chips(they ARE the supplier of chips after all) and is a fraction of the cost.
That said I've been using an Adata U800 in my laptop for a few months and it's solid. Boot times are around 20 seconds from cold boot. I'm about to buy another for my desktop to replace the spinner as a boot device.
And what about SLC, MLC, TLC, QLC..?
I toke this SU650 - 480, cause it's SLC, nd my Dell is wonderfull now..!!
I'm not exactly sure where to put this sort of question, since I don't spend time on message boards, and the people I know on Facebook and in real life aren't knowledgeable enough, to help me with this issue. I'm asking here, because the comments section on the videos for this channel seem like a calm place, where people would know what they're talking about.
My current laptop is the 2017 model of the Dell 15 7000 gaming series. It's got single channel 8gb ddr4 (2400mhz) , and a 256gb m.2 ssd, as the storage. The I5 7300 is 2.5ghz, which is more than enough, for what I need it for. I know that there's a port, for a full size hard drive, and an open second slot, for ram. But, I'm apprehensive, about doing this, and I'm not sure where to do proper research.
The thing is that I'm looking to upgrade this thing, at a reasonable price point. (Preferably under 250 dollars.) But, I only know enough to know that I don't know enough. So, for upgrading my laptop, would I be looking at something like the 500gb-1tb version of one of the SSDs in the description of this video, and a second 8gb stick of ram? And, if so, does brand matter, for the ram, or is it just the clock speed that matters?
Also, is it possible to upgrade to an i7, and would it be worthwhile, to do so? Lastly, this thing has a 1050ti in it. I'm assuming that a laptop's gpu isn't upgradable, right?
To anyone who takes the time to help me out, thank you, in advance, for your time. I really do want to upgrade my laptop, but I'm actually quite worried, about the possibility of screwing it up.
You really can't upgrade that, beyond adding RAM or a SSD. You're better off selling it and buying what you really want.
@@TechDeals Well, money is really tight, so this is as good as I can afford. Apart from the issues with wanting to upgrade the storage amd ram, I'm okay with everything else. The parts about the cpu amd GPU were curiosity, more than anything else.
But, having watched this video, I'll probably pick up this ssd, if it's on a Black Friday sale. Is there a particular brand of ram that you would recommend, or should i just grab any DDR4 ram, that i can get, at a fairly low price?
Great review. You remind me so much of the Proffesor from the Tolarian Community College
channel! (Magic the Gathering review channel) Arent you brothers?! :) I just ordered SU650 based on this review for my first build. Thanks.
He is awesome, I was bummed when he lost his job teaching, but frankly I think it might have been a good thing, it allowed him to focus on the channel full time.
He does awesome content and I like his guides...
Noticed ssd prices have dropped significantly. my 850 pro 256gb was 250 eur... equivalent storage amount could be had for like 50-60 eur now... thats in 5 years 5x fold decrease in price. Amazing. Gonna look to get a 1tb ssd, m.2 type and use it as main media drive so hdds don't have to spin up and down so often :D
Thanks a lot for this review. as always it's straight logical thinking and it's based on real-life scenarios !
I just bought 2 x ADATA 240go on amazon that were in my cart since yesterday, that review was right on time ;) They were 45$CAN each :O
@@cybermad64 talk about confirmation of perfect timing lol enjoy man
Thank you for your video. I learned something new today.
Bought the Adata 1tb su800 new on eBay for around $129.99 last week.
I just bought an Adata SU800 M.2 2280 512GB SSD for my boot drive and I'm happy with.it.
What is the bottleneck in the following PC configuration for office application use: GIGABYTE GA-AB350M Gaming 3 // AMD Ryzen 3 2200G // Crucial 8GB DDR4 (2x4GB) 2666MHz // Samsung 860 EVO 500GB // Seagate 1TB 7200rpm // DVD-/+RW, all in all for appr. USD 470!
Yeah this seemed like a great deal until I stall extra storage for the same $65 price with the Silicon Power 512GB SSD 3D NAND A55 SLC Cache Performance Boost SATA III 2.5" 7mm (0.28") Internal Solid State Drive (SP512GBSS3A55S25)
I figure the performance difference between these drives is negligible
If you selling ADATA it's a good deal. If you are buying expect failure within days or couple of months, it happened to me. Also read the user reviews.
The Team group L5 LITE 480GB is $63 on Newegg right now great deal
Great review! I'm currently in the market for a SATA SSD, but the reviews on the ADATA 650 on Newegg aren't very confidence inspiring. Have you ever experienced sudden death with and SSDs you install in your systems?
I just jumped on the 480GB SU635 and got it for less than 50 bucks
Since you have Ryzan can you do a Store MI video with a smaller SSD and give us your thoughts?
I agree :) but untill each contry can have "Cheaper" ssd's it's not an option for some, i've had a minimum wage job for 2 years and i needed more space, so i bought the Firecuda SSHD and i like it harddrive wise because of the SSD caching, and untill at least 1tb ssd's is cheaper or i get better pay i'd have to stick to that drive :)
Why not a boot drive? The performance upgrade from a mechanical hard drive are great.
Even if i do have a good PC, i still bought a very budget SSD. I have a goldenfir 480gb bought for 57€. My usage, is gaming bf1,3,bfbc2,world of warships, destiny 2, aion and cs go. That´s all i play, and i will probably write 30tb over 10 years.
The SU650 does not have DRAM. Whereas the Samsung SSD does have DRAM. This makes a difference in performance and the SSD will cost more because of that. We can't expect the SSD with DRAM to cost the same as the product without DRAM. If you need the added performance, go with a product that has DRAM. Buy the DRAM-less SSD if you want to upgrade and older computer that you don't use on a regular basis, or if you need one as a secondary storage device, or if you intend to assemble your own external storage device. Then the extra cost of the DRAM really isn't warranted. That being said, always go with a company that has a good or excellent track record for quality, reliability, warranty and customer service. New products with DRAM for example: Samsung Evo, Crucial MX500 and WD Blue (or the equivalent Sandisk model, since WD owns Sandisk now).
It's a deal! Still faster for main OS windows drive over mechanical hard drive. Biggest 480GB offer SSD in a flexible price!
I think your computer should thank you now. Windows OS now run just better and faster! Thanks for your reply back feed back. @Chris At Tayeb
One of my drives just went bad. it's in a FW800 enclosure with a thunderbolt adapter. gonna take my other drive out of its Thunderbolt enclosure and put in that. Gonna buy the 480gb drive and put it in the Thunderbolt enclosure, so I can get the most out of it..
people still seem to underestimate the improvement SSD's give over HDD storage.
Get an SSD, no matter which one.
The only Adata I would not avoid using would be the SU800 2.5inch, and only if it's a significantly better price than the 860 Evo. I wouldn't touch any of the other Adata drives, I have seen way too many of the rest of 'em fail (2.5 and m.2). The SU800 is the only one I've seen not have more failures than the other "big" brands.
Just bought ADATA 480 Gig SSD SU655 for $38!! Going to use in a PS4.
I am a customer from Indonesia. I bought Adata SU800 1tb on 18 June 2021, use for several weeks suddenly can not boot and SSD not readable even still recognize by BIOS. I claimed to Adata Indonesia Distributor and already waiting for 3.5 months. And the answer that this product is discontinued and I must replace with another type. But my SSD was subject to price depreciation even though because of their long process but I have to bear the depreciation and I must pay more for the new type with the same 1tb size and cannot refund. This is the worst after sales ever.
Stil want to use ADATA product ??? please reconsider.
