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

I bought the Silicon Power 512GB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen3x4 2280 TLC SSD (SP512GBP34A60M28) to use as a backup clone of my system. My first criteria for selecting was price. This little devil was just over $50 delivered. Second, it had to be reasonably reliable. The large number of reviews indicated it was. Speed wasnt really a concern. Ultimately I wanted a backup of my system so if something happened, I could be up and running within a few minutes. I know you can create a system image using Windows and an external HDD or SSD (which I did), but too often, when I go for the restore, after watching the progress bar for at least 45 minutes, I get a restore failure notice (which happened this time also). Luckily, I had a clone of the system that although slightly older than the image backup, booted. Usually I use Acronis to clone drives. I love the fact it will work with different size source and target drives as long as the data will fit. Anyway, I bought the Silicon Power 512GB NVMe M.2 drive to clone my system. It installed as expected and worked without any issues. I noticed a couple of QR codes on the package and read something about free software as a thank you for purchasing their product. I wasnt expecting much but went ahead and checked out there offer. There were various utility apps but one among them was Echo, a disk cloning app. I thought what the heck, Ill take a look. Im glad I did. Their cloning software has so far been what Ive always wished Acronis would put out. Its a one trick app that will work with different size drives just like Acronis. It lacks all the extra baggage Acronis comes with and best of all does not install a bunch of services like Acronis does (for its backup software). It cloned my m.2 system drive in a matter of minutes. I also tried cloning my m.2 drive to a USB HDD. That took considerably longer, but the system booted from the HDD fairly quickly. For some reason when Ive cloned an SSD to an HDD using Acronis, the HDD will boot, but it takes forever. Did not have that problem using Echo. Bottom line, the Silicon Power 512GB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen3x4 2280 TLC SSD (SP512GBP34A60M28) seems to be a good piece of hardware and you can (at least for now) get a nice, simple, straight forward cloning app thrown in, all for just over $50. Thats a pretty sweet deal.

I ordered this to replace a dead drive only to discover that it arrived DOA. Luckily the return process was streamlined and I got a functional replacement 2 days later. Over all a great cheap high speed drive with a decent amount of storage.

nothing much to say, I have been buying SP drives for a while now and they are some of the best value out there for SSDs! keep up the good work and customer support!

Works great. No problems at all.

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.

Ive only had this product two days but the advertised speeds are definitely being held up minus a little slow on the write speeds but it works great for the price and i cant believe my boot time to bios is only 14 seconds and boot to windows is 21 seconds which is not to shabby considering it was about 45 seconds with a SATA SSD. Now all my apps open much faster and its an excellent little boot drive for my PC already have two silicon power 2.5 inch SSDS and now im moving on up to the world of M.2 SSDs and for the price i think im stuck with keeping with Silicon Power. 10/10 highly recommend

I remember when this type of storage was so expensive, and when these drives were shipped; Amazon would put them in big over-sized boxes. There would be air bags in there to protect the drives. Now that the price of 3D Nand has dropped, Amazon just ships these in flimsy plastic bags. These drives are susceptible to bend stress when packaged this way. Also, this brand initial packaging is very light. I bought a Samsung EVO drive of the same capacity, and it was packaged more securely. Besides that issue, these drives are great for quick budget builds, or if you want to add fast cheap storage to an external M.2 enclosure. I am going to use this to upgrade my sons current gaming PC. He will be upgraded to a Ryzen 5 2600X on a ASUS Prime B450M-A II motherboard, with 16 Gigs of DDR4 running at 3200 Mhz. His current M.2 is a 256 Gig drive.

BEST PRICE ON THE INTERNET AND A GREAT WORKING PRODUCT WITH A 5 YEAR WARRANTY.

Amazon replacement was quick the next day no hassle. I am using the upgrade from 256GB to 1TB now. Its quick and I have been using other SP products for a while. Good value for the price. Some times a unit will fail on first use. Better now than later.

Ive been buying SSDs from Silicon Power every time. there deals are amazing, and they are a reliable and trustworthy company to buy from. 10/10
