The ADATA Ultimate SU650 is a solid-state drive in the 2.5" form factor, launched in 2021. It is available in capacities ranging from 60 GB to 960 GB. This page reports specifications for the 120 GB variant. With the rest of the system, the ADATA Ultimate SU650 interfaces using a SATA 6 Gbps connection. The SSD controller is the SM2258XT from Silicon Motion, a DRAM cache is not available. ADATA has installed 64-layer TLC NAND flash on the Ultimate SU650, the flash chips are made by Samsung. Please note that this SSD is sold in multiple variants with different NAND flash or controller, which could affect performance, the "Notes" section at the end of this page has more info. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are absorbed more quickly. The Ultimate SU650 is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 520 MB/s and 320 MB/s write; random IO reaches 20K IOPS for read and 75K for writes.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 34 USD. The warranty length is set to three years, which is above average, but shorter than the five years offered by many other vendors. ADATA guarantees an endurance rating of 70 TBW, a good value.
