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

I have been using Silicon Power SSDs for about 6 years now. havent lost any data yet. Use these for games. I have about 10 of these and all are running strong with no problems. 256gb all the way up to 2 tb. the smaller 256 and 512 i use for windows system installs. the larger i use for program and game installs. not the fastest but fast enough, i have no complaints about load times. this is the brand i went with when i upgraded from mechanical to solid state. not sorry, so far.

Easy to install ssd but pain to get free cloning software for it from manufacturer. Luckily there are free packages out there (clonezilla if you are somewhat tech savvy).

De los 5 ssd que he comprado uno me salio defectuoso no le doy 1 estrella por que me aprobaron la garantia y seguiré comprado hasta que lo mejoren

My 4 stars are because Ive had a 2TB SSD have performance issues, after using for a couple of weeks - I believe due to internal heating. Amazon accepted the return and the replacement has been perfect - it happens. I would not hesitate to by Silicon Power storage devices in the future as my experience with them has been good.

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.

So I bought this to replace an spinning disk drive in my gaming laptop. (Im still not sure why companies even bother putting spinning disks in gaming laptops anymore its such a performance limiter and provides unnecessary heat) I bought the 2 TB model and so far its been great. The performance is just not even remotely close its so much better for my larger games like Ark, Conan, Red Dead. Now there is a downside. Once you get through the Cache on the device the write does slow down a ways. Its not terrible but as others have noticed it happens. Still better than a spinning disk though so that is a bonus. Still overall very happy with the price verse size of the drive I can finally bring my gaming laptop wherever I go and not have to much of a performance hit compared to my desktop.

This NVMe drive was totally plug and play. Installed with zero issues. No problems and super fast...no stuttering with my games. Lots and lots of room. I used it to replace three smaller SSDs in my rig. Excellent deal. Would buy again.

To put it simply great product in price and performance. I own 3 of these 2.5 ssd and Recommend It to anyone for upgrading and future pc build. Awesome product!

Purchased six of these drives for use in building out an all-flash TrueNAS box. Ive got several of the 1TB version that Ive used with some pretty limited success, they seem to work fine on SCALE but are a bit temperamental so far on CORE. Physical installation is no different than any other drive of this size/form factor. The caveat here is that I seemed to have received drives with two different underlying hardware builds. Three of the six drives report in as 1.82 TiB, the other three are reporting in as 1.86 TiB. Not the end of the world ending up with mismatched vdev sizes, but not what one should need to expect or plan for when buying multiples of one item from a single listing.

Excelente lo recomiendo
