So I've purchased the A-DATA SP550 120gb model and have read online that it will slow down over time. Should i be worried about this? Should I return it and buy a better quality ssd? If anyone has any recommendations for a good ssd under 55 dollars (128 gb) or 65 dollars (256gb/240gb) let me know. THanks.
Is the A-DATA SP550 a good SSD??

If you can find an extra $15 this is always a recommended buy (by TH as well!): http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-Inch-Internal-MZ-75E250B-AM/dp/B00OAJ412U?psc=1&SubscriptionId=AKIAIEF7KZG4SSIJ7QQA&tag=toms_shopping_rev-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B00OAJ412U&ascsubtag=[site|thaus[cat|[art|[pid|B00OAJ412U[tid|14514454088089112[bbc|LEPRIX
all "cheap" ssd's will slow down over time (months/year) depending how much you write and delete from.
The problem with the SP550 is that it has a 6~ GB cache so if you write sequentially more than that, it will slow down to 40mb/s writes
other than that its "ok" drive for the price
