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

The 512GB A60 drive surprised me considering the cost. Using CrystalDiskMark, I got the following scores: SEQ1M Q8T1 - 2417 MB/s read, 1184 MB/s write SEQ1M Q1T1 - 1986 MB/s read, 1183 MB/s write RND4K Q32T1 - 297 MB/s read, 358 MB/s write RND4K Q1T1 - 48 MB/s read, 184 MB/s write This was achieved without using a heatsink on the M.2, with 5 passes of a 1GB file in CrystalDiskMark. The drive performs significantly better at sequential reads than seq. writes, while also performing better at random writes compared to reads. As long as the device stands the test of time, it is an excellent bargain purchase, exceeding its advertised read speed (albeit falling a bit short of its advertised write speeds). I will update this review if the drive fails prematurely.

First and foremost I am a huge fan of SP products - in fact, I consistently buy all their products for various hardware applications for the last 2+ years ... however ... despite the phenomenal price point and highly reliable physical devices, SP consistently relies on 3rd party software which is VERY, VERY glitchy for their SSD and M.2 hardware installation (cloning) which makes it very unfortunate since it wrecks the overall experience ... specifically, the NTI Echo software is a glitchy, ill-conceived piece of software that caused me to waste 2 days installing this otherwise wonderful piece of equipment into a brand new Dell 5575 ... the process to acquire the NTI Echo software is insanely complicated and SP does a very poor job of explaining how you need to prep to get it Step 1. YOU MUST have the actual serial number off the device (not the box) to even attempt to download the software - you dont find out about this until you already installed the device and closed your laptop - so now you have to re-open the laptop, remove the M.2 and take a pic. or write down the specific serial number which also has way too many 0 and O that you will have to trial and error several times Step 2. Once you finally register and download the software, the next step appears to be a straightforward single screen with 2 drop down menus BUT ITS NOT!!! - if you are cloning 2 drives that are already in the laptop then its no problem at all and it executes in record time - however - if you are cloning drives using the USB option the NTI Echo software leads you to a reboot and endless looping no matter what you do until either you remove and erase the drive and essentially start from scratch or you manage to find the obscure help from other users through endless on-line searches that advise you to enter the laptop recovery mode and then attempt to fix your Windows Boot Record to get rid of the pesky NTI Echo instructions that are now loaded into memory - this literally took 2 days of various trial and error and endless research for the obscure instructions from some other desperate and angry user who was a good Samaritan to leave instructions on this mess ... worst part the Win10 installation did get corrupted and forced a complete, clean reinstall all the same which also forced the full reinstall of application so cloning was one giant BUST! Ultimately I recommend the SP hardware but use other true and tried software to do your cloning ...

Buen producto a muy buen precio, el mejor en sus características.

Had an HDD that had pictures and music on it that was getting noisy and showing bad sectors. I purchased this, cloned the bad drive, and everything is honky dory! Makes a great second drive.

I have been daily driving this SSD since September of 2022 and it works amazing, its more budget oriented but it doesnt feel like that at all! Highly recommend!!

I started getting these drives because they are cheaper than the name brands while still delivering the same quality.

Windows 11 found it right away. Bought it as a storage drive and it seems to work fine but time will tell.

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.

I use this NVME for my backup drive. All of this is through 3.2 USB Port and Cable. I have seen transfer rates reach 5GB a second! Why not install it inside the case? I can easily unplug it from the USB Port to backup another computer. Nice product.

256MB NVMe M.2 Got this to use for Windows OS, antivirus suite, and other utility programs. Everything else, games etc stored on another drive. You just know Windows will do something that requires a clean installation so having it on its own drive saves time spent trying to restore everything from TEH CLOUD.
