Silicon Power 1TB - NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen3x4 2280 SSD (SP001TBP34A60M28)

This was the first NVMe drive I ever had running at gen 3 speeds which required a heatsink. I am cautiously optimistic because I have found SP SATA SSDs to be quite reliable. But this is a completely different product that runs too hot out of the box. So, I really wont know for a couple of years.

At about 3 months the device started overheating. Tried adding heatsinks, but now has completely stopped working. Contacted support but really am not expecting much.

Theres nothing wrong with it, faster than sata 3 for reads/writes , but their slightly more expensive P34A80 (Gen3) has a lot better read / write performance. like $3 on a 512 , Its worth for an OS Drive.

Took a little longer than expected to arrive. Was purchased for an upgrade. Already installed and working brilliantly. I hate the fact that I cant see the beautiful design once installed inside my notebook. Loving the software that comes with it for diagnosis. Will recommend to friends.

Muy bien precio rendimiento, no he tenido problemas de calentamiento, ni de reconocimiento, muy buena compra

Super rapido

Had to initiate a return on this after a whole month of utter headache with it only being detected about half the time. I bought it in the first place to replace an SSD that was having issues on boot with being detected by the BIOS (sometimes even shortly after the system booted, leading to a freeze as I was getting ready to start programs up on the desktop!)...and found the issue even worse on it. I reasonably concluded that it was actually the motherboard at fault, no biggie, as I still needed the drive to replace my three smaller drives with a cheap unified fast storage solution that could last for years to come... Except that with a brand new motherboard, the old SSD was always detected, and this...not. I tried everything from disconnecting all other drives to disconnecting the GPU to not using a heatsink I bought to updating the BIOS firmware to messing with obscure BIOS settings...and it was all for naught. My experience is not the norm of course, and supposedly theres basically always a 1 in 50 you get a bad drive (anecdotal evidence from searching though suggests it may be higher for SP hardware...), but I must express frustration about the apparently poor testing done on these drives before they ship out.

Perfect for what its intended for

My laptop came with a 1TB NVMe drive. I added this drive to the laptop, then copied a few hundred gigs from the first drive to the second (new) drive. I was getting copy speeds of over 1.5GB/s. Thats more than 10 times faster than copying to a standard hard drive. I couldnt be happier!

Computer is still running, it froze my computer a few times after install but its been a few weeks since a crash, so hopefully its good. Upgraded from a Data drive to this SSD and my computer has never run faster. I had to buy screws as I dont have one. Wish the seller would buy a bunch in bulk and just include one.
