Trust it blindfolded

I installed this SSD into my twelve year old pre-built Gateway PC with an HDD. The difference in performance was night and day. It went from boot times over one minute to around 15 seconds. Inspired by the increased capabilities I also upgraded my GPU and CPU and created a somewhat passable gaming PC for older games. If you’re worried about reliability don’t be. I’ve had no issues so far and performance has been consistent. I’ve installed quite a few games and my OS on this drive. Compatibility and installation were no problem either. The drive was recognized right away and I was able to transfer all the contents of my old drive with ease. If you’re looking for a low cost and quality SSD I recommend giving this one a try.

With all the fake (often with unknown brand) SSD out there, its always good to stick to known brands. This is a good genuine drive, with good read/write speed, which I am using for backup, on my Lenovo laptop, connected to USB-C, using a SATA to USB-C adapter. Those read/write results are while using that SATA to USB-C adapter, and may be different (faster?) if you plug this drive directly on your motherboard, using a SATA port.

I directly copied over my O.S. (Operating system) from a mechanical Hard drive (HD) to the SSD using Macrium Reflect. The boot time of Windows 10 / 64-bit is never speedy {even with the SSD - about 20-25 seconds from BIOS logo to windows login}. The noticeable speed difference will come when you launch bulky applications like: Photoshop, games, photos, etc. Boot time will vary depending on different factors. The Silicon SDD speeds are the same as the Samsun 860 EVO 1TB (Up to 550/520MB/s seq read/write speeds). My tests are showing A55-1TB Silicone SSD with 550/440MB/s (screenshot posted with this review). My speeds are not tested with an Empty drive the A55/SSD was tested with a fully functioning OS on it (20% of the drive filled during testing). This is a fast drive at a reasonable price. IF, anything should occur with the hard drive over a period of time I will return to update this review (if possible). I am using three different variants of the Silicone SSD: 1TB, 480GB, and 256GB. (desktop, laptop, desktop) All three SSD drives are meeting or exceeding their competitions speeds. A note to all Windows users, please change your advance settings / hard disk timeout in your control panel unless you dont care about very noticeable lag spikes when you open or launch applications/documents. This is under control panel, top right search box type power, left window Edit power plan. Change advanced power settings, Expand Hard disk by clicking on the + symbol to the left of it. Click on the + symbol to the left of turn off hard disk after, click on Setting change to 0 minutes. (do this for M.2/NVME/SSD) otherwise you will wonder why your highspeed drive is acting slow. UPDATE: I have now purchased about 5 Silicon SSD (2.5) drives. ALL 5 are still working very well 5 months in. I have done speed tests on a few of them every month (I have multiple sizes: 256, 512, 480, 1TB) The speeds are stable. Meaning you will get a slight variation (either faster or slow) in the speed test numbers but nothing dramatic. If you are concerned about data loss, get a second hard drive (mechanical if you wish). Go get Macrium Reflect, home edition, and you can make a direct copy of your OS boot drive into an image file. Macrium is a UK based software company that has powerful free (home edition) software. YouTube has wonderful videos on how to do this, very simple. Remember to buy a USB stick (2GB more than enough) to make a media boot for recovery purposes.

5 months still working,,, data storage movies and family photos

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.

Excellent deal at that low price!

Used this to upgrade my old iMac and so far so good. A good performance boost from the old HDD.

I bought this as a replacement for a 1TB mechanical drive I had on my DIY NAS. So far so good. No problems with BTRFS and it remains powered 24/7.
