Silicon Power 2TB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen3x4 2280 SSD R/W up to 3,400/3,000MB/s (SU002TBP34A80M28AB)

First tempted by crasy TBW warranty, then realized I will not live long enough to get it worn out. Anyway, works as intended, speeds are satisfactory, total steal for the money. Use it as a second drive in home setup, nothing hardcore.

Absolutely recommended, I know this is a Gen3 NVME but it’s perfect for old equipments (2021 and older), this drive its gen3 top performance for an excellent price

Update:: my year old laptop nvme still doing great, have built multiple new pc with these and never seen one fail. If you have a heat sync it does very good but if not it’s fine, my intel 660p gets much hotter. The pic says it all... using crystal disk I took info as well. I idle at 28c during the hottest part of the stress test we hit 65c for only a second then 60,54,49,45,40,36,30,28. Extremely fast temp changes only was at max few seconds and this was still under 70. Will update if longevity holds but so far so good. Be sure to verify your board can support nvme if running a sata speed m2. If you have not tried NVMe and have a m2 slot I don’t know what else your waiting for. Prices are hovering at same price as m2sata for m2 nvme. Works great on my dell g5 laptop

Put it an external case-- able to format it & install a couple games on it. It gets very hot & loses connection to W10. All drivers are up to date & cables secure. I have a different brand case & smaller SSD that work fine.

so the silicon power standard ssds are just ok however the nvme ssds are great! theyve been easily keeping up with my friends samsung/WD branded models and they also get pretty great scores from sites like userbenchmark, normally preforming above the 100% mark easily

I bought a 1tb nvme ssd from you guys about a week ago, and it works great! I went with SP because it had the best bang for the buck I could find without sacrificing on read/ write speeds. I needed to transfer all of my computers data from an old HDD (yuck), and after switching to nvme I cant ever go back. Boot times and system response times are so much faster, and my HDD has been relegated to archival purposes only. - Cant rate for longevity, Ive barely had it in a couple days, but all the benchmarking Ive seen says that it will be more than adequate for a very long time for my uses :)

so far so good. Dont really see a speed difference from the stock Apple drive but havent tried anything. At the very least, Ive doubled my storage space.

Like the price the Read speed is good 544 mb/s the write is a little slow in the 300 mb/s. I worry the life is going to be much shorter than my Western Digital SSD 500 sata.

Been using this as my OS and gaming drive since last year, and havent had any issues whatsoever. Sure, there are better quality Gen3 NVMe drives, but Im not about to pay an extra 40+ USD on them when, for my use case, I wont even notice a performance difference. If youre needing a new 2TB Gen3 NVMe with DRAM, this is the only one I trust in the 90-110 USD range.

Stupid fast! Stupid cheap! Get it!! ***Remember kids, to PROPERLY test your m.2 in CrystalDiskMark, You HAVE to click on Settings and select NVMe SSD! If you dont its going to treat it like an SDD, not an SSD! If you are getting low 2000s thats probably your problem.
