The SSD segment has seen a good amount of contraction over the last two years and that trend has continued as of late. With drive technology hitting
With the entry-level SSD market so full of excellent options like the OCZ Trion 100 and Crucial BX200, AData’s SP550 is faced with an

Silicon Motion's SM2246EN SSD controller was a highly successful solution for SSDs using MLC NAND flash. It offered a great combination of power efficiency, solid performance, and low cost. Last year we got an early look at the successor SM2256...
As for the SM2256 controller, it's clear that Silicon Motion is learning to deal with the challenges of managing TLC flash, and many of the remaining weaknesses exhibited by the SP550 can be blamed on the limitations of the flash rather than the...

Adata's SP550 is the first SSD to hit our lab with Silicon Motion's new SM2256 controller paired with SK Hynix NAND. But does it compete with Samsung's prolific 850 EVO?

"If you catch one of these at a bargain price - and in most shops we've seen these are very well priced - then our recommendation is to snap one up."

Easy to replace existing disk in laptop. Makes Windows 10 Pro very fast. (Didn't use the Acronis software)
Consumer review (reevoo.com)
Good speed for most computers no need to spend more for marginal speed increase. Free software to manage SSD. Bought two, installed in two ageing laptops, no problems.

Quick and easy to install (back of motherboard for me) very fast windows install and boots in under 12 seconds. A good amount of fast storage for the money.
