ADATA SP900 128GB SSD Review and Benchmark

2014-04-25
welcome back to tech yes City and today I'm gonna be revealing this SSD it's a hundred and twenty eight gigabyte SSD from a dotter now the reason why I got this SSD was because it was the cheapest 128 gigabyte SSD currently in Japan I got this for about $90 every other SSD was about $900 so it was $10 cheaper and its side of three as well so I'm also gonna be doing a quick unboxing for you guys showing you what you get in the box and also that I'm gonna be benchmarking this with a SSS D and I'll give you guys a conclusion and recommendation on this SSD so this is the box this is how it comes packaged it comes with a three year warranty now the reason why I got this SSD was because that it was only $90 and that's pretty cheap for 128 gigabytes now I recently saw my Corsair hard drive because I didn't have a need for it however since I've got this AMD rig that I'm building at the moment I figured well I'm gonna need an SSD again so I picked up this one and basically gonna say first thing before we unbox it is I don't like the way it's packaged I mean you've got the SSD pretty much hitting the box so this thing could easily get damaged in shipping that's one thing I sort of am noticing straight away as we get before we get into the unboxing here so so taking off the seal we can then start to unpackage the contents and yeah I mean there it is just a simple SSD comes in the Box from a data it's got a QuickStart guide there so if you want to install the SSD quickly and then you're gonna need that QuickStart guide but here's the actual SSD itself that's probably what you're most interested in how does it feel it actually feels really good I like the feel of this SSD it's lightweight but at the same time if they're using aluminium I think it is and it feels really good so the quality of this SSD actually feels pretty decent like it feels like a nice SSD and it actually looks really nice as well so yeah that's the speeds now I think the read speed sequential read speeds are counted to be four up to five hundred fifty megabytes per second and central writes are up to 550 anyway I'll be doing some tests quickly and showing you guys how this SSD performs let's also look what else we get in the box here we get a a bracket I believe this looks like a racket with some double-sided tape to hold it in place for maybe a laptop I guess not so sure but it comes with this standard screws ah that's sorry that's for the tray so that would be it for the tray so you can install it into a 3.5 inch drive base so for ninety dollars you get 128 gigabytes of SSD you get a bracket and you get a manual so not bad value I'm going to test I mean this is retail as well this is $90 retail I didn't get this on sale but I had the need for it so it's there it's pretty cheap I don't I mean I could probably get an SSD for $80 but I don't really see myself finding one that cheap but yeah anyway that's that guys let's move on now to the performance of this thing I'll be testing it against my Intel 256 gigabyte and seeing how well it performs okay so moving on now to the SSD benchmarks I pretty much only use one program and that is a SSD as it's so lightweight and it's so easy and it presents the results in an easy-to-read format and it allows that that ultimately allows me to communicate the results to you guys with relative ease so I really love this SSD benchmarking utility and I can highly recommend it looking on the left here we have the Intel which is a 240 weight model I managed to pick this up at a steal last year I think it was like 100 and I forgot 165 dollars that I'd have to jog my memory but as you guys know Intel SSDs are really solid especially for the money they're just solid performers they're not the best performers out there but at the same time they're definitely not the worst and the reliability of Intel SS these are actually pretty damn impressive this one hasn't missed the beat neither did my force 3 either my Corsair force three that didn't miss a beat either although it didn't score as high as the SSD in the benchmark but let's look on the right here the SP 900 that I mean the Intel scored 780 but the SP 900 scored an overall score of 475 which was it's good it's it's pretty impressive for a entry level 120 gigabyte SSD or 128 gigabyte SSD I thought the 4k read and write speed were very good for an entry-level SSD I mean this is what makes in my opinion an SSD feel so much faster than a hard disk drive it's it's because of these 4k reading rights and the 4k reading rights on the SSD the SP 900 were decent these sequential reads were pretty good as well so you're gonna be loading up gains pretty quick you're gonna be loading up all those far I have big files pretty quickly the sequential writes weren't that impressive I mean if you're doing real heavy workloads then I probably don't recommend this SSD but at the same time if you've got a real heavy workstation you're probably going to have a pretty pro set up you know you probably have some Samsung 840 pros in there or whatnot so leave for you know 4k 64 threaded spit a read and write tests weren't that bad it really in and the access to read and write times weren't that bad either so overall I mean it scored about a hundred points higher than my course Air Force 3 and my course f4 3 was $100 I mean sorry about $30 more expensive so ultimately this is it's it's a good score I mean it's a solid score for an SSD so now let's move on now to the conclusion so in conclusion this a data SSD is a decent biome and it's good value for money it's the cheapest SSD I could find and it performed reasonably well in the a s SSD benchmark I mean it's no samsung pro but it's definitely a solid entry-level SSD I mean you're gonna notice a difference if you're going to one of these from a hard drive then you're certainly going to notice a difference in everyday usage speeds I mean the 4k reading rights were decent the a s SSD scores were decent I mean schedule reads were decent so I imagine this thing being a decent recommended by for anyone or any gamer looking for a a solid SSD with a solid warranty I'm in three years is pretty good and it also I mean it also looks pretty good I mean I actually this is one of my favorite looking SSDs I mean I might take this sticker off as well and it would just look just polished clean black so that's actually a really cool thing about this SSD if you take this a data sticker off so anyway make sure you don't remove this rear sticker here like if you remove the rear sticker then you may have some problems with warranty so ultimately it's a good product it's not the best it's not the worst and I mean it perform better than my old Corsair for three and I paid more for that courselet course Air Force three so yeah I can recommend this product if you have any questions about the a data SSD then please leave a comment in the comment section below and if you like this video please give it a thumbs up and I'll be coming back to you guys soon with some more tech videos and lastly another good point is that yeah you actually get a hundred and nineteen point seven one real gigabytes of space so it's actually a good feature as well about this SSD so yeah decent SSD for the money can recommend it peace out for now BAE
