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

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

No stadoffs no screws but good for how cheap it is

Pros - More than fast enough for 99% of tasks. If you need a bit more speed they have a higher speed version for ~15% more at time of writing. - High capacity for dollar Cons - One failure at arrival due to CRC error. Possible this made it past QA but more likely damage of some description during shipping. The package was bent but not around the drive, still may have been some deflection which caused issues. Overall I highly recommend this drive. Im currently populating an Asys Hyper M.2 gen 3 card with three of these and one in the faster version for rapid photo editing. It makes a massive difference running the software library and files off a single drive and moving off SATA SSD to these is significant. Even moving from this version to the Silicon Power A80 2TB, which is a touch faster, speeds things up marginally (not enough for most people to notice but when youre loading a library with ~10k photos, 500GB, and the library files to support it theres a difference). Ill be submitting an RMA for the one failed drive but I want to note this is the 12th drive Ive purchased from them and the first failure. Several have been in service over five years. I have NO ISSUES with the brand thus far.

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!

Técnicamente nada mal, solo que fue un problema encontrar un tornillo que pudiera usar. Y lo más importante, solo me vienen 931gb de almacenamiento. Y los otros 69gb? Entiendo que un porcentaje se usa para al administración del m.2, pero son entre 20gb y 40gb, en este caso son 70gb, por lo demás no tengo problema, perp sería bueno aclarar cuanto porcentaje del almacenamiento es utilizable.

Also did not include a screw to mount on your motherboard, so make sure you already have spare screws before you order.

I recently picked up two of the 1TB drives for for an older Dell Precision T7910 Tower. This machine is a beast but really needed the benefit of booting from an NVMe drive. There are no native M.2 NVMe slots on the main board so, I installed these two drives onto a Dell designed PCIe non-RAID card. The card uses PCIe 3.0 x8 lanes for both SSDs (x4 per SSD) parked in an x16 slot. I am really impressed the performance of these SPCC drives. I have run CrystalDiskMark on both and attached to my review. I am pushing almost 2600MB/s on each drive for sequential 1M reads. Pretty fast for such an inexpensive SSD. I also over 2000MB/s 1M wrtites. These numbers exceed everything I have seen for these drives. I noticed that the two SSDs are not identical, I posted a picture of the two drives mounted on the Dell PCIe card, from the side you can clearly see that one drive has fewer chips than the other, the label is stuck on the circuit board versus onto chips like the other drive. They both show up the same in CrystalDiskInfo with one exception, the SSD that has fewer chips run 20 C hotter at idle. Seems peculiar that they would not be identical, maybe a change in the hardware revision. I am very happy with the drives at this point and I think they are a great value for the current market. Purchased: 02/03/2023 for $48/ea. UPDATE: 02/27/2023 I answered my questions regareding the extreme variation in temperatures as reported by CrystalDiskInfo, 64 degrees C on one drive and 40 degrees C on the other. The added photos show two very different versions of the drive which I received. I was not paying attention to the differences when I first installed the drives and did not notice the obvious changes in the versions. In the photos, the drive marked REV.B manufacture date is 42nd week 2022, the drive marked REV.C is dated 45th week 2022. The older REV.B drive is the one with fewer chips which only cover about 2/3 of the circuit board it runs hot ~60-64 degrees C. The newer REV.C drive has chips which populate the entire 2280 board, this is the drive that runs at around 40 degrees C. I purchased a couple of heat sinks to attach to the drives, they are actually running a little hotter than when the drives had the Dell board fan shroud intalled (the shroud would not fit over the drives with the heat sinks in place). I think I will order another drive and see if I get another REV.C, if so, Ill return the REV.B A little picky perhaps, but I prefer for the drives to be identical.

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.

I use this drive as a secondary drive in my desktop, and I use it in my laptop. It works great! It runs cool, but I recommend keeping laptop fans on for extended use.

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.
