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

Was very easy to install if you got the new m/b with m.2 socket. Getting rid of unnecessary cables. So far, this has worked great and I even benchmark to see if the claim of its reading and writing were true, sure enough it was. However, my overall score reflected it from my previous use of SSD HD and I thought this would make a bit of difference as SSD did for me from mechanical HD. But nope, barely noticed any speed difference, however, the convenience of not having to hook up wires and make your internal looks of your computer ugly, I would buy this again for another build.

**Notice: this is an NVMe (PCIe) drive, NOT a SATA drive** I purchased this drive, along with a compatible USB adapter, to upgrade my laptop. With the adapter, the drive worked just fine. It did seem to produce quite a bit of heat, even when idle, but apparently that is common for M.2 drives. However, it was not until I had properly installed the drive in my laptop that I realized it was not the right format for my system.

I bought this to put in my iMac 27 2017 and put it in a NVMe USB C Thunderbolt adapter to transfer the files via migration. HOLY COW even externally my MacOS runs insanely faster than it did on my Fusion set up that came in it. So fast and with no lagging that Ive been too lazy to attempt a proper 4hr long installation. lol. Im moving huge video files around with no lagging or anything so... idk if I am even going to put it inside the machine now. lol. Itd sure be easier to resell the imac in a couple years if I dont pop it open and leave in the stock stuff (and not void my AppleCare). Anywho. GO FOR IT! This gets speeds of 2000+/1300+ R/W EXTERNALLY via USB-C with the OS also running on it when testing. lol.

This was a great price but it had one bad sector so it was no useable for cloning my original NVMe. I am hoping the longevity is not indicative of that.

Installed this as an upgrade in my new HP15 laptop. Functions perfectly. Not much else to say about it except good deal form a trustworthy brand.

Installed the Silicon Power NVMe SSD on a Dell Inspiron 3180 Laptop to replace the 32GB eMMC. The budget laptop recognize the SSD immediately. I was able to install Windows 10 on it. Great product for such upgrade.

This is a good 1TB NVMe SSD. It has, of course, 1TB space and reads really fast, however, the write speeds vary from very fast to rather slow, depending on the test/bench marks. It is cheaper than the Samsung 970 EVO or WD Black NVMe SSD, but,..both of those perform better consistently at their rated read/write speeds. So, for about $20.00 more, Id go with the Samsung or WD Black for overall, consistent performance. Sorry Silicon Power. I got 2 of these on sale, (a really great deal) for my sons new laptop that came with a POS 128 GB, slug NVMe SSD, which btw, had 60 GB reserved for OS and bloatware. (REALLY..1/2 of the space was reserved and the partition was inaccessible for sizing. Sorry..off topic) So it was a great deal and they do function very well, just not consistently at the optimum rated write speed. I havent noticed any real lag or slowdowns due to this though, not yet, so I cant register a legitimate complaint about them. Overall, Im happy with the purchase and function/performance thus far.

Ive been using it as my main drive for the last 3 years without any issues, can recommend and its great value for money compared to other options on the market.

Lets face it, I bought this because it was so much cheaper than the Samsung. For the money, I think it is a good drive. I have done a lot of benchmarking with this, both synthetic tests and real life tests. It falls a little short in both categories. But the bottom line is, it still beats the pants off my regular SATA SSD. I cant speak for the long term reliability, but I have installed 4 of these and have no problems in the 6 months I have owned them. The smaller NVMes seem to have less cache and less performance than the larger size ones. If you buy a 256GB, it is going to perform worse than the 512GB and 1TB models. The speed degradation is in both peak transfer rate and the sustained performance when copying large files. I got the 512GB one and it will drop off when copying very large files. I am using this to store all my VMs and then load and suspend quite a bit quicker than my standard SATA SSD.

1TB Drive purchased Sept. 2020 Took a gamble on this drive in lieu of some of the negative reviews and couldnt be happier. I cant speak about the legitimacy of the component swaps mentioned in other reviews, but I can say that this drive is meeting and even exceeding the advertised performance. This drives performance is comparable to that of the Samsung 970 Evo and Sabrent Rocket, and typically goes for a much lower price. This drive doesnt get the recognition it deserves, probably because Silicon Power has a reputation for making cheap and low performance SSDs, but this one is an exception. Pros: As fast as the best Gen 3.0 NVMe drives out there. TLC NAND - Faster and more durable than the QLC used in other budget NVMes. DRAM Cache - Greatly improved performance and durability compared to cheap DRAMless SSDs. Cons: Possible quality control issues or inconsistent components used in some drives causing much lower performance. Problem not present on my item.
