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

i have this SSD less than 4 mothns and already windows telling me there are problems with my drive. i use this drive for normal use. gaming alittle bit . but mostly watching movies on this PC. there is so little information about this drive and the website is so confusing. just buy a samsung ssd which has better software support and better user experience.

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

I ordered 2 of the 1tb model. One shipped UPS and the other shipped through Amazons shipping service. The one I received from UPS was great... speeds as advertised, had a green pcb and chips ONLY on one side of the pcb. The one I received from Amazon shipping was not great, had the same exact sticker on it, but the pcb was black, and had chips on BOTH sides of the pcb, which was problematic because it would have had to slightly bend in order to fit in my Lenovo x1 Extreme Gen 2 due to the m.2 slot being designed to accept drives with chips only on one side. The speeds were also about 1000 MB/s slower on the one with the black pcb. Very strange. I returned the one with the black pcb and kept the one with the green pcb. Not sure what the deal is here but you cant just slap the same label on two entirely different products and expect people not to notice. If you are lucky enough to get the one with the green pcb, you will likely be thrilled as I am.

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

I download about 6 Tb of data each month and that data is stored on two 32 Tb external drive enclosures with four much slower 8 Tb traditional 3.5-inch mechanical drives. The speed at which the data comes in is much too fast for the enclosures to write the data in real time creating a huge bottleneck. So instead of writing directly to the enclosures, I used my solid state NVME drive to a large cache the incoming data as it comes in. Then the data from that cache will trickle the content to my enclosures. But there was still bottlenecking and some latency when I was just using one of these Silicon Power NVME drives. So, I purchased another one and a PCI-E to NVME m.2 adapter. I created the RAID 0 in my BIOS so that the two drives would double my storage space, but also increase the read/write speed. After installing my OS and updating all the drivers and software, I ran a benchmark on the RAID 0 and was extremely pleased to see how much faster two of these Silicon Power NVME drives performed together please see the screen capture that I uploaded. For my purposed, this setup work great. I have the RAID split into two partitions. The smaller one has my OS and apps installed on it. The much larger second partition is set aside for some backup storage, but it also serves as the first place my downloads are stored prior to being sent to my external drives for permanent storage. With the price of 2 Tb PCi-e Gen 4 drives hovering around $400 and the price of one of these 1 Tb drives at $99 at the time of this writing, using two of these drives was much less expensive even when the PCI-e to m.2 NVME adapter which cost about $20 was included in order to create the array. So, for almost half the price of a gen 4 2 Tb drive, I was able to get the same high performance at about half the price. For my needs, Silicon Power came through for me and I couldnt be happier because the bottle neck is gone!

Bought this to replace 3 Sata SSDs. Good news is, it fits perfectly in my mobo M.2 slot and windows runs wonderfully. Crystal mark data is better than my old drives...BUT... It runs barely faster than my old drives according to the bench test. I dont think that has anything to do with the card. MSI Z97 Gaming 7 mobo wasnt designed to take advantage of NVME so I can understand the slower than advertised speeds. I had a feeling it would be this way on my 6 year old rig. Luckily I have a new laptop this may go in or itll be perfect when I build my z490 build

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.
