ADATA Ultimate SU650 M.2 2280 SSD: An Update Your Can’t Refuse

ADATA Ultimate SU650 M.2 2280 SSD Was Released

Recently, there have been numerous of new M.2 SSD announcements that use the PCI Express 4.0 bus for much faster speeds. Some manufactures even announced that the sequential read speed of their drive can reach up to 5,000MB/s. However, ADATA and its new drives do not make such an announcement.

On July 9, ADATA announced its new and updated SSD: ADATA Ultimate SU650 M.2 2280 SATA SSD. This drive is using 3D NAND Flash, a high-speed controller, and up to 480GB capacity. And the read and write speeds is up to 550MB/s and 510MB/s respectively.

See! It is not as fast as other M.2 SSD. However, this is not a bad thing. ADATA moves its value-oriented Ultimate SU650 to the M.2 form factor, and this remind you that not all M.2 SSDs are super fast.

Now, let’s make a further understanding of this drive.
