As currently one of the cheapest budget solid-state drives on the market the ADATA Premier SP550 480G delivers surprisingly solid performance. Faced against older flagship drives and even some faster M.2 model SSDs the SP550 acquitted itself well, often t...

We've collected all the data we need, so it's time to see where the SP550 falls in our rankings. We distill the overall performance rating using an older SATA SSD as a baseline. To compare each drive, we then take the geometric mean of a basket of result...
The ADATA SP550 SSD Series are some of the lowest priced drives that you can buy and that will likely get peoples attention. We fully understand that as a 240GB SSD for under $55 without the hassle of rebates is pretty amazing. If you've never tried an SS...

Wrapping things up, I want to return to the broader question of what the ADATA SP550 does for the SM2256's reputation. In short, it helps a lot. The SM2256 clearly isn't the blockbuster that the SM2246EN controller was and isn't fully living up to the ori...

small, read speed, write speed, price
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...
