SP 1TB SSD 3D NAND A55 SLC Cache Performance Boost SATA III 2.5 7mm (0.28) Internal Solid State Drive (SP001TBSS3A55S25)

Trust it blindfolded

So far it works well

The drive itself seems pretty good especially for the price. My only complaint thus far is there are no mounting screws provided. How much would it cost them to include 4 mounting screws. 85 cents?

Drives arrived next day which was great as i needed the extra space for raw videos needing editing before going on YouTube, these drives have a high transfer rate and so far have not been any issues with them.

I put the SSD into my Xbox 360. The drive fits into the plastic case that then attaches to the side of the console. I installed a reset glitch hack onto this console a while back. So now I have more storage and everything loads very fast. Makes absolutely no noise. The disc drives on these old consoles are going bad more and more over time so Im happy that I can backup my game discs onto the SSD. I just wanted to post this review for anybody wondering if the SSD will work in an RGH. It does. You just put it in and go to the dashboard and hit format. My console is a 2009 jasper. You dont really need an SSD for the 360 but the price was good. Photo is the drive showing up on aurora dashboard. If you dont have an RGH/JTAG you need to use the Microsoft brand drives.

This was one of the best values Ive found for SSDs in the 1TB range. Most others still run well over $100 for 1TB of storage (at the time of this review in Dec 2019). Silicon Power does provide free software for download to check and monitor the health (and check the SMART stats) of their SSD drives - SP Toolbox. I would recommend downloading the free utility from SPs website for occasionally checking and ensuring your drive is in good health. From a transfer rate perspective, this SSD works as advertised, and performs as well as a Crucial MX SSD 3D NAND that I also have installed in the same desktop system. SSDs are best for general purpose use - primarily as boot drives for OS and apps, especially on laptops. The OS will boot much, much faster from a SSD compared to a mechanical HDD, and the SSD will consume a lot less power than a mechanical HDD. Apps also launch in a fraction of the time on a SSD. The only drawback with a SSD is its overall shelf life - it has a limited number of writes, which not a huge factor if youre only using the drive for booting the OS and running apps. For media storage, backups, databases, and large files, mechanical HDDs are still the way to go, and theyre still a lot less expensive than a SSD. Over time, if you write or delete a lot of data from a SSD drive, performance will begin to deteriorate. Most however will not encounter much in the way of performance degradation, even after several years of drive use. Either way, SSD is best for read operations, and will vastly outperform a mechanical HDD for reading data, hence the much faster boot and app launch times. They are well worth it for the performance boost...time is money. Silicon Power seems to be making quality drives that work, but time will tell. If it fails or clunks out early, Ill be back here to modify my review. Otherwise, no complaints, 5 stars.

Works well with PlayStation 4

Lo uso en mi PC, y me ha resultado facil de instalar y buen tiempo de respuesta.

Installation went easy (as expected). Up and running quickly. Trying to move a 350gb file on. Initial transfer rate was over 250mb/s, at 20% transfered the rate is down to 35mb/s. Not what I expected at all. The listing on Amazon said 2TB SSD 3D NAND A55 SLC Cache Performance Boost SATA III 2.5 7mm (0.28) Internal Solid-State Drive (SP002TBSS3A55S25) Mechanical Hard Disk Even though its light as a wisp, I am thinking its mechanical somehow or is that just for searches. If it lasts Ill be ok. Dont access this file that often, contains lots of backup stuff.

Using it for months now. No problem at all. Great item.
