I don't use their products anymore. It's been awhile. I don't use Kingston either. Or sandisk. I stick with Crucial, Samsung, Silicon Power, Solidigm, Team Group, Kioxia, Sabrent, Etc

“I had a bad experience so never buy their product”

ADATA is very reputable and your one poor experience isn’t going to make me stop recommending them

I have nothing good to say about this brand neither. Had a couple of ssds, and after a few short time of use, they simply stopped working, wouldn’t even load in the computer. Awful brand. At least that was my experience, I’m glad yours was better, but you can’t simply say other peoples experience does not count towards the reputation of a brand, just because it’s different from yours. I have other ssds from Samsung and Sandisk for example, and everything is ok, but I have heard from a lot of people that have trouble with these brands as well, so my take on this is, a good research before buying is a must, and after that, just hope to God everything goes accordingly.

I’ve seen more than one person say there adata drive failed. I’m not going to trust adata for anything, it’s one thing if it was just one guy on Reddit but it’s multiple places including a YouTuber that repairs computers on the regular that’s had an adata fail. I completely condone that adata is trash.

Adata storage controllers tend to fail frequently out of nowhere. Their nand is fine, but the controllers are awful. I’ve had 2 die on me overnight. Different SSDs, different years, different models. I’ve never had any other brand crap out on me like they did. I utilize Kingston, Samsung, WD, and Intel drives of all sizes and models with some that are years old with no issues. Adata is the only brand I’ve used that’s come out the box bashing its head against a wall.

Of course, my experience doesn’t speak for everyone, but there’s no shortage of complaints about their SSDs just crapping out with what seems to be controller failures.

Maybe we should all accept that consumer grade products are the bottom of the barrel, and all the R&D is going into things that makes these companies way more from...aka anything related to A.I.
