[SOLVED] Adata sr-1100 ssd good?

[mhmd shoumar]

Hi, so I found this ssd (500gb) and used for 300 hours with a very good price 45$ according to our country (Lebanon ). However I couldn't find info about it online. Can anyone inform me if it is a good ssd or not.
On back: 2.5 sata 6Gb/s SSD SR-1100SS
Thanks in advanve

Hmm, I don't have that on my spreadsheet, it must be a business/client/OEM drive. I don't believe in comes in 500GB because they have more over-provisioning (so, 400GB). It's likely similar to the SU800 otherwise but with enterprise features (e.g. encryption, PLP, no SLC).

Used, second rate.
Here in the US, that is NOT a good buy.

Your market in Lebanon? You know better than we do.
But used is a big red flag for me.

A brand new 500 Gb ssd cost min 70$ here at lebanon

Used is fine if you check it out thoroughly (and it's riskier where you are) although again I don't think that SKU is sold in 500GB. But I might be wrong.

Ask the seller for a SMART report with a tool such as CrystalDiskInfo.

I found the following info:

https://www.eteknix.com/adata-storage-computex-2017/

"First up, we have the SR1100, their latest Enterprise Server grade drive. It uses 3D MLC NAND and comes in 256, 512, 1TB, and 2TB models."

Adata's catalogue has some basic info on page 31:

https://www.adata.com/upload/BusinessSolutions/Download/Catalog/catalog61.pdf

The available capacities are 100 / 200 / 400 / 800GB. The SSD has a DRAM cache, hardware AES encryption, hardware power loss protection and "RAID like technology". It also supports "Windows eDrive encryption". The controller appears to be Silicon Motion (SMI).

I don't know which capacity specs to believe, but I would think that Adata's catalogue should be accurate.
