Question Adata SSD XPG SX6000 512GB Lite vs WD Blue SSD M.2 SATA 500GB

[procc99]

Hi

Witch one of these I should buy? Price is about the same.

Adata SSD XPG SX6000 512GB Lite, M.2 NVMe - 3yr warranty
WD Blue SSD M.2 SATA 500GB - 5yr warranty

SSD will be used for daily tasks, browsing, documents etc.

What system would this go in?
And what price are you looking at?

Factors USAFRet asked are quite important.

On the face of things I'd go with the one that has the longer warranty period, namely the WD. Unless it is really a lot more expensive.

 

[procc99]

Adata 64€
WD 65€

It will be used in business level laptop, i5-6200U, 8GB DDR4.

"laptop" isn't telling us anything.
Can the m.2 port in that take both of those m.2 format drives...NVMe or SATA III? Not all can.

 

[procc99]

Yes it supports NVMe and of course SATA.

p.s. added more info.
It will be used in business level laptop, i5-6200U, 8GB DDR4.

Well then assuming you've done your homework then, there is no reason not to get the faster NVME drive, though I personally would spend a little more and get the sx8200 series instead.

If NVME is supported, it might be hard to find a better deal than wtih Intel's 660P, with a 1 TB NVME /M.2 drive available for as little as $109 last time I checked, which rivals the low prices of standard 2.5" SATA drives....

Which one is more reliable? Adata or WD?

It is impossible to predict for a single item, but the WD has a 5 yr warranty vs 3 years for the ADATA
