Silicon Power 1TB - NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen3x4 2280 SSD (SP001TBP34A60M28)

Is a good drive fast and easy to work with would buy again.

Always cautious when purchasing hardware for Dell computers given their third party compatibility reputation. This Silicon Power 1TB - NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen3x4 2280 SSD works flawlessly in my Dell XPS 15 9560 Laptop, this laptop is 6 years old. Installing and and configuring is fairly easy. I used their recommend Echo software to clone my Sata hard drive with no issues. With new SSD from power off to login screen is less than 25 seconds. Caution Tip: When cloning is finished DISCONNECT or REMOVE your old hard drive before first boot with your new SSD Drive, for some reason booting with 2 bootable drives confuses the Windows Boot Manager in the CMOS.

I currently have this installed in an NVME external enclosure, so am not getting the speed that I would get from having it installed on the motherboard. It is working very well though as I am using it. I will be installing this on my motherboard in a couple of months, as I upgrade some other things. The memory works great.

For the price, this is a very fast, reliable and easy to use drive. It is solid state so it is fast and reliable, but can get hot in extreme conditions. I use this with a Blackmagic 4.6k ursa gen 2 and it works like a charm. No issues with transfers, dropped grams, or down/uploads. Used it to back up several gigs of data and smoked through it like butter. If shooting in 4K at the higher bit rates it will get hot. I have it in an inexpensive aluminum case, no bigger than the drive and it has not failed but does get hot, especially if your shooting in the sun. It’s a good drive at a good price. I own a lot of simple brand drives, memory cards and all have been rock solid. I highly recommend this company.

excelente, recomendado

Not the fastest but havent had one fail have like 6 of these and they are all still going.

For the budget price , you cant go wrong with Silicon Power or Team Group. Make sue you check the specification for the TLC not QLC. I choose this since its $1 cheaper than the Team Group ones. For the money, it has the best price to performance. ADATA/XPG is also a good brand too, but seems most of the model are out of stock. I used to buy the Crucial P1/P2 Series, they may have the better performance for the buffer, but when the buffer run out. The speed are extremely slow. All for the QLC. Besides . Crucial P1 has only around 200TBW for 1TB if Im not mistaken. This Silicon Power 512GB has 300TBW, Hugh difference. Though the manufacture claimed the heatsink is not required. You may consider one since on full load, the temperature can go as high as 65c witho ut heatsink. After heatsink , the fully load is about 50c. The heatsink I use is Thermalright TR-M.2 which is more than enough for this SSD

This drive is fast and works sufficiently in terms of speed. The only con I have experienced that it idles at 64°C without a heatsink. The max temp I have seen on a small load was 70°C on a mid level load. I will update Temps after the install of a heatsink. 70°C is the max temp an SSD should run at during a max load.

Had an HDD that had pictures and music on it that was getting noisy and showing bad sectors. I purchased this, cloned the bad drive, and everything is honky dory! Makes a great second drive.

For reference, drive D: is the Silicon power, and drive C: is the original Lenovo ssd, with it’s specs to the right. I upgraded the storage on my 1yr old Lenovo Legion 5 Gaming laptop with this affordable drive, and was BLOWN AWAY by the speeds. The OEM drive has a 512mb DRAM cache and is rated for 3500 write/ 2800 read. (Comparable to a 970evo) The SP, despite not having a DRAM cache and being rated at less than 70% of the other drives speed, held right up to it in identical random read/write Benchmark tests and even surpassed it in a single queue read! When transferring files, the SP response time is a bit slower at around 20ms compared to <1ms, but for playing games and running CAD it is unnoticeable. I measured my Forza horizon 4 load times to be about half a second slower, but that was more likely human error than an actual difference. I am more than pleased by the performance of this drive, it’s definitely a slept on choice. If you want large capacity speed for cheap don’t waste money on a Samsung, try this first! Note: it does NOT come with a screw so make sure you have one.
