“Is this the version that uses the SM2262EN controller? I know ADATA has switched controllers around for this drive, meaning the performance can vary substantially”

The one that I bought had the SM2262EN controller. I bought my SSD about 3 months ago. The only way of really confirming the controller is buying and opening the SSD so if it is possible for you, buy a couple or few different ones and keep the one with the good controller. Hope this helps.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I'm not sure which controller the drive I bought has but considering the price I bought it at, chances are at this point, it most likely is the newer controller since the SM2262EN controller was only in the launch release of this drive and in real world usage, I'm not going to even notice the difference. This drive is still freaking fast and still competes to Samsung ssds regardless. If you are concern about performance numbers as opposed to real world use, then I don't recommend this drive. If you want a 2TB for way under $200 that is crazy fast, then grab these as soon as you can because drive prices are currently rising in general due to demand shortages.
