ADATA SU630 Ultimate SATA 3 2.5″ 3D NAND QLC SSD 480GB

The SU630 is an entry-level SSD great for boosting system responsiveness—like accelerating boot times, app launches, and file transfers—from traditional hard drives. Its dynamic SLC cache supports peak speeds up to ~520/450 MB/s, but sustained writes may slow to ~60–100 MB/s once the cache fills .

With a moderate endurance rating (100 TBW), it’s best suited for read-heavy workloads such as web usage, document editing, media consumption, and lightweight software installations—not heavy-duty tasks like video editing or constant large write operations. Users caution against using it as the primary OS drive due to the lack of DRAM and limited longevity —but for value-conscious builds or secondary storage, it's a solid pick.

ADATA backs it with a suite of tools like SSD Toolbox and Migration Utility for drive health monitoring and firmware updates .
