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

At about 3 months the device started overheating. Tried adding heatsinks, but now has completely stopped working. Contacted support but really am not expecting much.

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.

I have been daily driving this SSD since September of 2022 and it works amazing, its more budget oriented but it doesnt feel like that at all! Highly recommend!!

Ive only had this product two days but the advertised speeds are definitely being held up minus a little slow on the write speeds but it works great for the price and i cant believe my boot time to bios is only 14 seconds and boot to windows is 21 seconds which is not to shabby considering it was about 45 seconds with a SATA SSD. Now all my apps open much faster and its an excellent little boot drive for my PC already have two silicon power 2.5 inch SSDS and now im moving on up to the world of M.2 SSDs and for the price i think im stuck with keeping with Silicon Power. 10/10 highly recommend

Had to initiate a return on this after a whole month of utter headache with it only being detected about half the time. I bought it in the first place to replace an SSD that was having issues on boot with being detected by the BIOS (sometimes even shortly after the system booted, leading to a freeze as I was getting ready to start programs up on the desktop!)...and found the issue even worse on it. I reasonably concluded that it was actually the motherboard at fault, no biggie, as I still needed the drive to replace my three smaller drives with a cheap unified fast storage solution that could last for years to come... Except that with a brand new motherboard, the old SSD was always detected, and this...not. I tried everything from disconnecting all other drives to disconnecting the GPU to not using a heatsink I bought to updating the BIOS firmware to messing with obscure BIOS settings...and it was all for naught. My experience is not the norm of course, and supposedly theres basically always a 1 in 50 you get a bad drive (anecdotal evidence from searching though suggests it may be higher for SP hardware...), but I must express frustration about the apparently poor testing done on these drives before they ship out.

As many have commented, its a great value for the cost. Note that it does NOT come with a screw or a heatsink. I think at least shipping with a screw would be nice. I would recommend getting a heatsink. It will cost you about $10 but it will be worth it as the NVMe does run a bit hot (mine run about 40 - 50 C). It is not as fast as say a Samsung, but it gets the job done for most cases. I have not had any issues getting advertised speeds (I bought 2 of them). If you are looking for a mid-range upgrade for your HDD and your MOBO supports NVMe, this is, in my opinion, a great value.

Is a good drive fast and easy to work with would buy again.

For the budget price , you cant go wrong with Silicon Power or Team Group. Make sue you check the specification for the TLC not QLC. I choose this since its $1 cheaper than the Team Group ones. For the money, it has the best price to performance. ADATA/XPG is also a good brand too, but seems most of the model are out of stock. I used to buy the Crucial P1/P2 Series, they may have the better performance for the buffer, but when the buffer run out. The speed are extremely slow. All for the QLC. Besides . Crucial P1 has only around 200TBW for 1TB if Im not mistaken. This Silicon Power 512GB has 300TBW, Hugh difference. Though the manufacture claimed the heatsink is not required. You may consider one since on full load, the temperature can go as high as 65c witho ut heatsink. After heatsink , the fully load is about 50c. The heatsink I use is Thermalright TR-M.2 which is more than enough for this SSD

This drive was compatible with my latitude E5570, and very easy to install. It would only boot from initial power on in my latitude 5500, when the machine rebooted the drive would not be found.

This was the first NVMe drive I ever had running at gen 3 speeds which required a heatsink. I am cautiously optimistic because I have found SP SATA SSDs to be quite reliable. But this is a completely different product that runs too hot out of the box. So, I really wont know for a couple of years.
