SP 1TB SSD 3D NAND A55 SLC Cache Performance Boost SATA III 2.5 7mm (0.28) Internal Solid State Drive (SP001TBSS3A55S25)

Used this to upgrade my old iMac and so far so good. A good performance boost from the old HDD.

I had this drive installed in a Windows 10 computer for a few months until one morning the computer no longer recognized the boot device. Tried Linux, DiskGenius, and another Windows system, but none would recognize the drive. It was a paperweight that weighed nothing. I went to the Silicon Power website to get an RMA number to return the drive (theres a 5-year warranty on it!), and on the RMA page were instructions to ship the drive back to Taipei, Taiwan through Customs Clearance. It turns out that shipping this back to Taiwan would cost me a minimum of $35, and up to $95 depending on how I shipped it. So at best Id maybe be a few bucks ahead after lost time acquiring an RMA and preparing the drive for shipment to Taiwan, then waiting possible weeks for a replacement. Less aggravation to just throw the thing in the garbage and cut my losses. In my experience with these drives, even though theyre cheap, they have a lower mean-time-to-failure than the mechanical hard drives theyve replaced (based on the half-dozen or so SPCC replacement drives of various capacities Ive had to replace in numerous systems due to failure). YMMV. And if you decide to make a warranty claim, well, good luck to ya.

This has made my old Desktop viable as a Retro Gaming Console. My old HDD would take 10 minutes to launch windows and get everything read, then there were some games it just couldnt run because the Disk would be at 100% capacity. This SSD launches windows and has it ready in under 3 minutes, and can run games I couldnt play before. Im pretty sure it would be faster if my 2008 Asus Motherboard werent so archaic.

So I bought this to replace an spinning disk drive in my gaming laptop. (Im still not sure why companies even bother putting spinning disks in gaming laptops anymore its such a performance limiter and provides unnecessary heat) I bought the 2 TB model and so far its been great. The performance is just not even remotely close its so much better for my larger games like Ark, Conan, Red Dead. Now there is a downside. Once you get through the Cache on the device the write does slow down a ways. Its not terrible but as others have noticed it happens. Still better than a spinning disk though so that is a bonus. Still overall very happy with the price verse size of the drive I can finally bring my gaming laptop wherever I go and not have to much of a performance hit compared to my desktop.

It seems to work fine for a PS4, but truth be told, some of the other critical reviews have it right. It can bottom out, especially on the write speed. I used Borderlands 3, with all DLC, as a benchmark. The boot time when starting the game with a mechanical hard drive used to be get up and make yourself a sandwich level of load time. Easily a 7+ minute experience - with this, its about 3.5 minutes. However, downloading and installing games? Woof, that was a chore. In a PS4 Pro, on a reliably fast internet connection, downloading a 60 Gb game took 6 hours. And seeing as the internet speed test showed 100mbs download speed... It wasnt the internet causing the bottleneck. Its a decent budget option.

I chose this SSD for a home security camera recordings, to keep the computer as quiet as possible and lower the power consumption on a 24-hour device. At this price point and with a 1000 TBW, there is no reason to worry about wearing it out with recording overwrites, by the time it dies I will either need a new PC, or another storage technology will be available. It is very fast for the intended use, scrolling through video recordings is instantaneous and smooth. Highly recommend.

I am trying this out in one of my older laptops. Very affordable and practical. It is 2 to in size which replaced my spinningv2tb drive with it. If the quality is good I will replace others with it as well.

Good value for the price.

Im very happy I purchased this hard drive. It has given me more space and allowed my laptop to work faster and more efficiently.
