Good drives, I have the 128gb version of this and it maintains the speed well over time.
I need to get into the SSD market, I might look at the 128gb version of this, the price looks lower than others. always a good buying incentive.
I really have a hard time buying a drive like this from a company I dont really know, its a lot of money. Corsair or OCZ seem a much better option.
What are their warranty terms? dont know much about them, cant even find a UK site
for those who dont know, ADATA make the Corsair drives. its well known outside public circles.
