REVIEWS Addlink A93 4TB
Shane Downing is always cheap and usually pretty cheerful!
SSD capacities have increased dramatically over the last year or so.
A ddlink has long been a budget alternative for SSDs, whether highend or low, and it has doubled down on this status by highlighting the new A93 as a ‘value’ selection. These are misleading descriptions because inexpensive drives such as the A93 can be surprisingly excellent performers, and adding a heatsink helps this one feel more premium. It’s also singlesided with 4TB of TLC, normally a holy grail for laptop users, but still an excellent choice for desktops if capacity is your priority. With the alternatives being older SSDs that, by their nature, take more power and produce more heat, the A93 feels more like an agile leader than a high-end wannabe.
