ADATA Ultimate SU800 1TB 3D NAND 2.5 Inch SATA-III Internal Solid State Drive (A | eBay

I already got 4 SSDs this week. If I had the budget, I would have gotten a couple of these.

Consumer level..and the price isn't a deal IMO

I don't know too much about this Adata. I wish someone would chime in on their usage. We only use the 850s and Ultra iis.

ADATA is fine. They make decent SSDs for consumers, not so sure about enterprise products.

Micron TLC VNAND... but it's a provider aiming to hit a Low price point so you can bet it's not the best binned NAND. By Q1/Q2 2017 prices not bad but still unless you just need an SSD for storage I would otherwise go for something else from Samsung/Intel/Sandisk etc

I've had a pretty good experience with Samsung and Sandisk. I read about a problem with the 850 pro 512 on mdraid. As for the Intel, they are so expensive, I just say, get 2 for the price of 1 for now.

If I can get 3 years of life out of them, they have served their purpose. The oldest batch we have is from Nov-2015 with no problems yet.

Lately the price of SSDs is going up every day. I think it's at its peak right now. Just a couple of months ago I was getting the Sandisk 480 Gb for around $100, now they are like $145.

If it's just storage will last forever.
I would not use them as a cache drive or anything like that, besides performance under load is not great

They're low end consumer drive there's absolutely 0 debate these do not belong in a home lab, home server and def. not any sort of business server. The 850 Pro even in a very small business environment often will slow when more than a couple users are doing things with files on the drives. I did a quick google and there are plenty benchmarks/tests out there for these drives dropping below 5k iops during usage. Intel may cost more but you get 2x minimum performance increase with their lower end lower capacity drives! Step it up to the fan favorite on these forums (S3700) and you're looking at nearly 10x the performance during usage than this adata, even from half capacity Intel drive!

I wouldn't recommend these, especially with so many ~1TB enterprise SSDs on eBay for the same price or cheaper, and way better performance. Any kind of sustained writes are going to be abysmal, even compared to other TLC parts, at least in my experience.
