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

Very good price and quality!

It isnt the best performing thing out there, but it sure is a heck of a lot better than the HDD it replaced. Would recommend this brand if you need quick and cheap SSDs that are likely to perform acceptably.

I had this drive installed in a Windows 10 computer for a few months until one morning the computer no longer recognized the boot device. Tried Linux, DiskGenius, and another Windows system, but none would recognize the drive. It was a paperweight that weighed nothing. I went to the Silicon Power website to get an RMA number to return the drive (theres a 5-year warranty on it!), and on the RMA page were instructions to ship the drive back to Taipei, Taiwan through Customs Clearance. It turns out that shipping this back to Taiwan would cost me a minimum of $35, and up to $95 depending on how I shipped it. So at best Id maybe be a few bucks ahead after lost time acquiring an RMA and preparing the drive for shipment to Taiwan, then waiting possible weeks for a replacement. Less aggravation to just throw the thing in the garbage and cut my losses. In my experience with these drives, even though theyre cheap, they have a lower mean-time-to-failure than the mechanical hard drives theyve replaced (based on the half-dozen or so SPCC replacement drives of various capacities Ive had to replace in numerous systems due to failure). YMMV. And if you decide to make a warranty claim, well, good luck to ya.

I have three of these disks (1 TB) installed in a ZFS pool (no mirroring, no raidz). I needed cheap SSDs for my workloads, which are heavily write intensive, but require sporadic, small sized, random reads, a few times every second. Well, NAND flash can be great for that. Or at-least thats what youd expect. Sidenote: if you know anything about 7200rpm spinning drives, you know they can sustain a reasonable ~150-200MB/s sequential write, but throughput will suffer quite a bit if they need to simultaneously seek to fetch non-contiguous data. And then theres the issue of limited IOPS. I wasnt expecting miracles from these SSDs, but I was certainly expecting each to sustain atleast ~200 MB/s sequential writes. Well lo and behold, once you blow through the onboard SLC cache after a measly 30 seconds of writes at ~500MB/s, the drives start choking. Nothing more than ~65MB/s after that. I know these are TLC drives with SLC cache, but woof, those numbers arent great. So, if your workload isnt write heavy, by all means get this thing. But Id think youd want a little more performance out of something only fractionally cheaper than better performing alternatives. Also, no benchmarks posted on here use a large enough test file size to actually blow through the SLC cache, so the only thing you see results for is your SATA connection and/or packet congestion in the PCIe lane. On the positive side, sustained read performance was as expected, saturated the SATA III link without any issues.

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.

Not a fan of Chinese brands but this brand proves it’s worth/value

An SSD at this capacity is a steal (2 TB model). I dont have the knowledge and diagnostics to see how this compares to the more popular and expensive SSDs on the market, but as someone that is moving from a regular HDD for gaming I can say that the speed difference is night and day. The only question is durability. Ive been using it heavily for about a month now. I have no complaints so far but Ill come back and update this review if anything happens.

This has made my old Desktop viable as a Retro Gaming Console. My old HDD would take 10 minutes to launch windows and get everything read, then there were some games it just couldnt run because the Disk would be at 100% capacity. This SSD launches windows and has it ready in under 3 minutes, and can run games I couldnt play before. Im pretty sure it would be faster if my 2008 Asus Motherboard werent so archaic.

Lo mejor en SSD. Y muy barato el precio a pagar.

After getting a PS5 using my older PS4 Pro in my bedroom was becoming quite annoying. It seemed like it was frozen half the time waiting for menus to load. After sliding this in and downloading the OS my PS4 was at least 10xs faster. Now I find myself firing it up way more often. For anything that has a hdd this upgrade is a must and the price of this SSD makes it a no brainer.
