Silicon Power 1TB - NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen3x4 2280 SSD (SP001TBP34A60M28)

I started getting these drives because they are cheaper than the name brands while still delivering the same quality.

I currently have this installed in an NVME external enclosure, so am not getting the speed that I would get from having it installed on the motherboard. It is working very well though as I am using it. I will be installing this on my motherboard in a couple of months, as I upgrade some other things. The memory works great.

Computer is still running, it froze my computer a few times after install but its been a few weeks since a crash, so hopefully its good. Upgraded from a Data drive to this SSD and my computer has never run faster. I had to buy screws as I dont have one. Wish the seller would buy a bunch in bulk and just include one.

Loving it. Hope it last long enough!

This thing is fantastic for the price for sure. I do a lot of video editing, music producing and gaming, all have faired well on this SSD.

This 256GB as my co worker described it is epic and based on the amount of reading you doing from the drive the speed is perfect. Works perfect. Update 11/11/22 There is better drives out there with read/write speed up to 7000MB/s, but this item just at 2,200/1,600MB/s is amazing. I am copying a file at about 10Gb and the transfer takes about just 40seconds. Now this is a big upgrade from the traditional Seagate external drive I had. I cant tell you that it get very hot, but it sure decapitates the heat and everything runs smooth. 256GB with these read/write speed and this cost, cmon, what more can you ask for. I am using this as an external drive and it is working exponentially great accomplishing all task in a blink. No regrets and will sure buy again but looking for bigger size and better speed.

Good value for money. Wasnt looking for best & fastest SSD just needed something to install OS to and this fit the bill just fine.

Nada mal por su precio, vale la pena.

For a medium tier ssd (just barely) this nvme m.2 performs pretty well. It has no heat sink and it’s dram-less hopefully anyone buying knows that, it’s not going to give you the same performance as a 970pro evo. As a drive for games though you’ll have no regrets. Installed this on my midrange pc (b450m) within minutes, I had to pop out the gpu as the location is a bit in there but that’s a mobo thing not the drive. Pretty solid read/write speeds for a gen3 midrange. Not really much else to add aside from understanding what you are buying, it’s a good price for a midtier dram-less ssd, the same from WD or Hynix will run you about $20-$30 more, but it’s still a 3rd gen and you’re getting what you paid for essentially. If you need something with higher TBW, read/write speeds, than please consider a higher tier WD or Samsung or consider a gen4 if your mobo allows it. What it’s good for: Basic file storage/transfer Games Some mid level media editing Huge improvement over any HDD and minimal improvement over sata SSDs What it’s not going to do: Large scale file storage/transfer (meaning it won’t do with the 1tb being constantly rewritten thousands of times abs might have performance issues if constantly full) 4k media editing The ability to cool itself when met with higher temps (100c+) if you buy a heatsink or your mobo came with one it might do slightly better

I needed some extra storage and M.2 have a small form factor. It was quick to install in an enclosure and my laptop recognized and formatted the new drive with no issues.
