ADATA's Ultimate SU800 (or SU800 as we will refer to it going forward) is the first SSD we've reviewed that is powered by SMI's recently launched SM2258 4-channel controller. We haven't been happy with SMI-controlled SSDs since back in the SM2246 days whe...
ADATA's Ultimate SU800 will be competing primarily with Crucial's MX300 for market share. Both SSDs are low-cost mainstream performers that deliver an excellent user experience. Both employ essentially the same flash array and both deliver performance t...

Last year ADATA introduced their SU800 as part of a complete line of 3D NAND based SSDs. It is their mid-ranged model with the SU900 being their highest end SATA based SSD but comes in at a price point that Is budget friendly as well. The SU800 is also th...
So the SU800 is an exciting SSD simply because of the introduction of 3D NAND. By stacking, the capacities of NAND are going up, allowing for fewer chips being used and it will eventually mean higher drive capacities being available and lower costs. You...

ADATA's Ultimate SU800 is their first SSD to use 3D NAND and the first 3D NAND SSD from a company that doesn't manufacture their own NAND flash memory. The SU800 pairs Micron's 3D TLC NAND with Silicon Motion's SM2258 controller to produce an entry-level...
Judged against other entry-level SATA SSD, the ADATA Ultimate SU800 does not offer many significant performance improvements from its use of Micron 3D TLC NAND. Even if Micron's 3D TLC were substantially faster than the planar TLC it is competing against...

Not so long ago, we took an in-depth look at Micron's first foray into the 3D NAND world. While Micron took much longer to bring its 3D floating-gate cells to market than Samsung did with its charge-trap based V-NAND, the MX300 proved to be worth the wait...
Adata's SU800 got off to a rocky start with our IOMeter sequential write test, but its real-world performance should have at least partially made up for that. Let's see where it lands overall. To compare each drive, we take the geometric mean of a basket...

The SU800 is a tricky drive. For starters the 128GB model simply does not have enough flash chips on the drive to extract much parallelism from the controller. This is not a problem for the 512GB (or 256GB) model, but it is something consumers should be a...
