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

Silicon Power is LITERALLY the ONLY brand I buy. Why? When I used to work at my last Computer Repair Shop, I would see LOTS of Hard Drives coming in for upgrade/cloning over to SSD. What I also saw was that there were a lot of these off-brand SSDs that customers would buy from who knows where, and sure enough, they typically failed at about an 80% fail rate of at least the first attempt of cloning/migrating over the OS from the HD to the SSD. What brand, didnt fail? The only brand I ever had not to fail on the first migration/cloning attempt was Silicon Power (SP). The cool thing about SP is that they have great deals usually, so the price is never a concern when Im shopping for another SSD. Also, they hook you with FREE software to take care of your cloning/data transfer needs. Just register the SSD drive on their website located on the back of the packaging. Enter the code they ask you for and boom! You get the download link. I would Highly Recommend Silicon Power. Hope this helps someone make up their mind that may be shopping for a new SSD drive, whether you are upgrading or just adding to your setup....Go With Silicon Power!

The SSD performs really well for the price (400ish write/read speeds), but I would recommend getting a better SSD if you plan on copying tons of data on it repeatedly (+500GB) in one sweep, cause it does throttle down to 20MB-30MB.

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 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.

Exceptional price - no problems with install - works great. I recommend this product.

Excelent SSD 2T and a convenient price. Thank you

super

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

Went quite smooth with help of the free cloning and backup tools they provide. Laptop is running like a Cheetah now.
