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

A great expansion for my 11.6” Asus with 64g eMMC. Makes the laptop usable. If only the RAM could be replaced this would be a real road laptop. The only issue is they always assume you’re replacing a drive and never include the screw, leaving you to sort through your collection to find the right size.

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.

Not too fast but good enough for quickly loading games and movies , good as general big storage.

At about 3 months the device started overheating. Tried adding heatsinks, but now has completely stopped working. Contacted support but really am not expecting much.

I’ve been in IT over 20 years and I have to say the value for the money can’t be beat. This drive worked great and windows 10 was zippy. If you are on a budget don’t be afraid to try out this drive.

This was the first NVMe drive I ever had running at gen 3 speeds which required a heatsink. I am cautiously optimistic because I have found SP SATA SSDs to be quite reliable. But this is a completely different product that runs too hot out of the box. So, I really wont know for a couple of years.

I wasnt expecting much for the price but it blew me away. I was getting about 1400 megabytes per second. I thought for this price it would be like 500 or something. how can your complain with 47 dollars for a 1TB SSD. thats insane.

Just got 2 of these SSDs for my new Synology DS1821+ NAS. before inserting them in the NAS, I first tested them externally with an unknown NVMe M.2 to USB adapter I had lying around. Running CrystalDiskMark gave me 44-45MBps speeds!!! I panicked and was extremely disappointed and was planning to return them, leave a scathing review and buy more expensive but reliably fast ssds. But a little voice told me change the adapter just in case it was at fault. So, just got in a Sabrent NVMe M.2 to USB3.x adapter today and repeated the test and got the advertised 1GBps speeds sequential read/write speeds stated for the adapter. It is the maximum speed you can get for a 10Gbps USB 3.1 link. To get the 2 GBps (2000 MBps) advertised by these ssds, youll need a 20Gbps (USB3.2) or 40Gbps link (USB3.2 Gen 2x2) adapter. I hope these ssds are reliable and dont lose speeds over time. Timne will tell.

Took a little longer than expected to arrive. Was purchased for an upgrade. Already installed and working brilliantly. I hate the fact that I cant see the beautiful design once installed inside my notebook. Loving the software that comes with it for diagnosis. Will recommend to friends.
