I went for the Intel 665P specifically because of the ultra low power compared to other drives, including the adata. Look at the wattage they use when active. In a laptop, I rather stick with low power drives. we're talking significant difference in power. For me, if Adata goes and swap chips like this, they need to give it a completely different model number, and for this reason, I will not buy from any company that goes and swap chip but will refuse to rename the model number, cuz it causes all sorts of confusion hell. it's just stupid really.
Also, with any drive, update the firmware asap. I had an intel 500 gig for $50 last thanksgiving...one drive failed but the other runs beautifully and I think it had to do with the firmware.
I will never buy from a brand that goes and switches parts / chips without renaming the model. Google: "Adata Switches to Slower Controller, NAND on SX8200 Pro"

I have both. Trust me the 8200 #s are inflated. I get around 22-2400 not the 3500 they say. On Reddit people have found they swapped the controllers without telling anyone and that is the cause.
I would rather get the cybermonday one from Amazon for 100$. Its rated up to 3.5kmb/s

Depends on which 8200 you get....
But honestly it doesn't change the big picture too much. Any variant of it is still faster than the 665p. But then again it should be considering the 665p is currently 17% less expensive.
