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

Excellent performance, nearly reach the speeds advertised. However, I took away one star because this SSD will overheat under heavy load. I had to buy a heat spreader for this and now temperatures are stable. Note I said heat spreader, NOT heat sink. A thin piece of metal over the chips is all that is needed to keep this SSD stable so a little annoying this SSD doesnt come preinstalled with one or one isnt supplied in the box.

notice I switched from WD black 1st gen. every thought is based on comparison with that ssd. This drive is so cheap there is 0 reason not to buy it over SATA SSD (because price is comparable $40=> 256gb, $60=> 512gb, $110=>1tb) at this price you get very quick reads, about triple write speed from SATA. Random speed is very similar to normal SSD you will not feel drastic improvement in response but it is noticeable in boot-up time, I do not care what cold boot to fresh windows is because I dont use fresh windows I use windows with apps installed and it made a big difference. also very big difference is related to my workload I use Devloper tools like VSCode and Android studio. there is a massive difference in VM spin-up time(if you use snapshots) it saves a few seconds but it is absolutely worth it. would absolutely buy another on in fact im considering to get 1tb one for my laptop.

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.

Coming from a computer Technician that owns a Computer repair business this is worth every Penny! I have paid 3x this price for a 512GB SSD in the recent past! I have several other Silicone Power Products and have had good luck with all of them. I had a 60GB SSD that was a few years old die on me and I sent it off for replacement and got a brand new one in return less than 10days later! I recommend for its Speed, Reliability, and Ease of Use! As well as the Support if needed by Silicone Power! Great Buy dont pay $250 for the one from the big boys!

Good price, works well and shipped quick. Using this as my second 2TB NVME in HP 17” Omen.

This made my laptop start faster than my gaming pc

I have had this for a few weeks and am loving the super fast boot time. Turning PC on from an OFF state, my boot time to login screen is 11 seconds and to use-able desktop about 18 seconds. Copying large files from folder to folder is lightning fast. SSD temp is around 40 to 45 C at load and 30 to 35 C idle. And this even with a huge RX480 sitting on top of it. After constant long gaming with Witcher 3 and my graphics card temp at 60 to 70 C, my Silicon Power SSD remains in the 30s C. I just dont find some of the reviews claiming this drive runs hot to be all that credible. I would really need to see what their setup is like. i5-9400f 16gigs GSKILL RAM (2x8), 2400mhz ASRock H310CM-HDV/M.2 LGA 1151 (300 Series) MSI RX480 w/fan speeds controlled using MSI Afterburner NZXT H500 w/only 2 Corsair SP fans running (1 intake, 1 exhaust) My room temperature is around 76 to 78 degrees F.

*I bought the 512gb version* Ive had the ssd for a little over two months now and i use my laptop about 6hrs a day, and its work super fast and great load speeds it loads as if my apps were never closed! thats how fast! I had upgraded from an hdd, but i still use the hdd as storage and swapped the os and all my other applications on to the ssd so now all of my apps and os run at super high speed, pcie ssds are the first and best thing to upgrade when you want to make your computer faster. This nvme ssd is by far one of the most value for your money ssds out there I did tons of research on other products but I was also not wanting to spend $~160, becaase I was also buying some ram for my laptop (Also Silicon Power Ram!) The only trouble I had was with the copying and formating but theres tons of helpful youtube videos out there for it. Super easy to install to, theres also youtube videos on that to and also make sure you watch different kinds of youtube videos to gain all around specific knowledge and opinions to help mold you choices. great quality too!

Ive only had it hooked up so far to a little external NVME case so limited to USB C 10Gb connection. Having said that, I still achieved 1.05GB/sec (8.4Gb) in both read and write using ATTO. Hard to complain about that. Amazing performance for the money. Ill be using it for a new build in a couple of months when I get the new AMD Zen 2 chip. Highly recommended!! Its now over 3 months later and I installed this drive in a new 3700X build 2 months ago. I had zero problems loading Windows 10 Pro, software, drivers, etc. on it. I was literally up and running in about half an hour and spent a few more hours loading up software and updates. Completely painless. Ive had zero problems so far and my new Asus MB X570e-Gaming motherboard has heatsinks for the M.2 drives. I have not been able to throttle the drive no matter how hard I work it. Love this drive especially at the price I paid. Insane and highly highly recommended!!

I had heard about Silicon Power switching components for cheaper parts after the initial batch of SSDs, but I guess I was lucky enough to get a good one. I benchmarked the drive and it seemed to have close to the rated performance, maybe off by 10% or so. So for the price I cannot really complain. Has worked flawlessly so far.
