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

There are two kinds of users when it comes to SSD storage. Those who have lost data and those who will lose data. I have moved from will, to have. Initially a few bad clusters started showing up then more and more with each use. I cannot trust this drive

The whole reason I bought this drive was because of the YouTube installation video I found where the owner specifically installed this drive on an X1 Extreme. The installation was easy, but I will advise any other X1X users out there to make sure they do not strip their screws! The manufacturer used way too much loctite on these screws so I ended up having to use needle nose pliers. Other than that it is running great and the storage is exactly the same as other drives I have used. Similar speeds for a fraction of the cost.

*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!

Okay I bought a top of the line samsung evo pro nvme for my operating system and I bought a 1 TB silicon power for games. This thing works exactly as advertised. Yes it is a little slower then the samsung. But for what I wanted it for, night and day difference. If your upgrading from any other ssd you will notice a difference. When it comes to games....if your playing a lot of multi player games...you are probably gonna be stuck waiting on the guy with the slowest load times. So getting a stupid fast samsung is just not worth the money. If you plan on using this for games it will work extremely well. It will work for your operating system. I just wanted the fastest possible one for that which samsung still holds the crown for. But for the $ to value. This thing is unbeatable. Easy to install, does not come with a stand off post or screw. So if you dont not have either of those just go buy them from amazon for like $7.00. You will need them. If your are looking for a quality nvme at a cheaper price point then samsung then just grab one of these up because you will not be dissapointed.

Popped it into an Eluktronics W650KKL (a Clevo laptop), it was recognized and worked well on Windows for a few days until the laptop would blue screen during gaming or just normal use. It came with a 5-year warranty which I did not take the chance to make good on so Im not sure whether to recommend against the product or not. My bet is that its not worth it. Look elsewhere.

I started using it. Works great

Delivered on time and with no damage to the Philippines. Ive used it for about a month now and have not noticed anything wrong with it. I use it as a secondary drive to store my games and some of my files. I couldnt tell the difference playing with my games on it (PCIE 3.0) vs my main NVME storage (PCIE 4.0). I hope it lasts a long time. One of the best deals I could find on a 2TB drive since the cheapest ones on the local and online stores here cost at least twice as much. This is cheaper than some high end (1TB only) PCIE 3.0 NVME drives here.

I tested this drive with crystal disk mark, the read speed is 3500mb and the write speed is 2100mb i purchased the 500gb a80 this drive also comes with dram. I am using this hdd for my Operating system and it is running super smooth on windows 11

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!

Well folks... I have 7 NVMe drives. Samsung (3), WD, ADATA (2) and Silicon Power. Guess what? None came with a screw. If your motherboard did not come with one screw per M2 slot, blame the MB manufacturers not the ssd manufacturer. The three Gigabyte motherboards I have all came with one screw per m2 slot. Now for all of you whiney babies... get over it. Oh, by the way, this is a great drive but time will tell. Hopefully a better experience than a Samsung. Ive had this since October 2021 and is is running in perfect trim. Constant 28c under load with a NVMe passive cooler. Read/Write speeds are a bit better than advertised. Running MacOS 12.2.1 on a Mackintosh.
