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

For this price good quality. Speed of SSD like in description

This drive is fast and works sufficiently in terms of speed. The only con I have experienced that it idles at 64°C without a heatsink. The max temp I have seen on a small load was 70°C on a mid level load. I will update Temps after the install of a heatsink. 70°C is the max temp an SSD should run at during a max load.

I needed some extra storage and M.2 have a small form factor. It was quick to install in an enclosure and my laptop recognized and formatted the new drive with no issues.

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.

Always cautious when purchasing hardware for Dell computers given their third party compatibility reputation. This Silicon Power 1TB - NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen3x4 2280 SSD works flawlessly in my Dell XPS 15 9560 Laptop, this laptop is 6 years old. Installing and and configuring is fairly easy. I used their recommend Echo software to clone my Sata hard drive with no issues. With new SSD from power off to login screen is less than 25 seconds. Caution Tip: When cloning is finished DISCONNECT or REMOVE your old hard drive before first boot with your new SSD Drive, for some reason booting with 2 bootable drives confuses the Windows Boot Manager in the CMOS.

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.

Super rapido

This drive replaced my factory drive and has been going strong with no issues.

For a medium tier ssd (just barely) this nvme m.2 performs pretty well. It has no heat sink and it’s dram-less hopefully anyone buying knows that, it’s not going to give you the same performance as a 970pro evo. As a drive for games though you’ll have no regrets. Installed this on my midrange pc (b450m) within minutes, I had to pop out the gpu as the location is a bit in there but that’s a mobo thing not the drive. Pretty solid read/write speeds for a gen3 midrange. Not really much else to add aside from understanding what you are buying, it’s a good price for a midtier dram-less ssd, the same from WD or Hynix will run you about $20-$30 more, but it’s still a 3rd gen and you’re getting what you paid for essentially. If you need something with higher TBW, read/write speeds, than please consider a higher tier WD or Samsung or consider a gen4 if your mobo allows it. What it’s good for: Basic file storage/transfer Games Some mid level media editing Huge improvement over any HDD and minimal improvement over sata SSDs What it’s not going to do: Large scale file storage/transfer (meaning it won’t do with the 1tb being constantly rewritten thousands of times abs might have performance issues if constantly full) 4k media editing The ability to cool itself when met with higher temps (100c+) if you buy a heatsink or your mobo came with one it might do slightly better

Not too fast but good enough for quickly loading games and movies , good as general big storage.
