ADATA Premier SP550 240GB is the second TLC drive (after OCZ Trion 100 240GB) that I've tested and it made a very good impression. The performance is strong, exactly as the manufacturer claims while the price is simply killer. It is the cheapest 240GB TLC...

Cheap! The 240GB model is the sweet spot for the SP550 series but all of the drives break new ground for retail SSDs.
Sustained write performance is a problem with most TLC drives and the SP550 just can't shake the TLC blues.
When cost is more important than sustained performance the ADATA SP550 is a solid option in 120GB and 240GB capacity sizes. The 480GB model is still very low cost but its price is too close to the Samsung 850 EVO that is a better drive overall and has a...

Price, Read/Write Speeds Do Not Drop Off Regardless of Usage Length, Absolutely No Performance Loss as Drive Fills, Wear Leveling, Enhanced Garbage Collection, Good read/write performance, 5year warranty on XPG SX930 and 3Years on SP550, Acronis HD Cloni
More Expensive Drive Slower
We have to different perspectives to look at with these two drives. On one hand we have the XPG SX930 drive that comes with a 5-year warranty and MLC memory, on the other we have the SP550 which has a 3-year warranty and uses TLC memory. The XPG SX930 d...
Solid read speeds, ADATA has their own SSD Toolbox software, Free copy of Acronis True Image HD, 7mm to 9.5mm adapter included, Price
Some of the slowest sustained write speeds we've seen on an SSD
ADATA on the other hand seems to not have that figured out yet. While the read scores for the drive were very respectable the sustained write scores were not at all, diving down to around 100 MB/s. This was very apparent in our AIDA64 linear write test. I...
SP550 is an all around solid performer and well priced!
The ADATA Premier SP550 240GB and the ADATA XPG SX930 are solid performing well made drives that are worthy upgrades for any user seeking an SSD for their Gaming machine, laptop, or general purpose PC...
Fast write performance for a TLC drive, Aggressive pricing
Shorter warranty than Samsung's SSD 850 EVO, Subpar performance in a few tests
ADATA did a fine job on its first TLC-based SSD, even if it's not enough to take the crown from Samsung's mighty SSD 850 EVO. Read More…...

The SP550 is Adata's latest contender in the entry level market. While read performance is very good, write performance suffers with multi-GB transfers, but it is priced fairly cheap to make up for it. So, if you are looking for a cheap SSD to speed up a...
Charttopping sequential read speeds, Supports TRIM, NCQ, S.M.A.R.T, and robust ECC, 3Year product warranty support, Offered in 120/240/480GB storage capacities, Lightweight compact storage solution, Resistant to extreme shock impact, Free copy of Acronis
Very poor scores on AIDA64 sequential writes and IOMeter IOPS measurements, Better performing ADATA drives available for the same price
The Premier SP550 is ADATA's first TLC-NAND drive. TLC NAND stores three bits per cell, which increases bit density by 50% over standard MLC NAND designs. TLC NAND is less expensive than the more common MLC NAND, but has less durability and performance...
The ADATA SP550 is a mixed bag. Running it as our OS disk, all three capacity points delivered a good SSD experience. But, as we dig a little deeper and hit the SP550 with extended workloads the shine rubs right off. I suppose that for someone using an...
"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."...
