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

Técnicamente nada mal, solo que fue un problema encontrar un tornillo que pudiera usar. Y lo más importante, solo me vienen 931gb de almacenamiento. Y los otros 69gb? Entiendo que un porcentaje se usa para al administración del m.2, pero son entre 20gb y 40gb, en este caso son 70gb, por lo demás no tengo problema, perp sería bueno aclarar cuanto porcentaje del almacenamiento es utilizable.

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.

Great value for money. Perhpas wait for any ongoing sale to get further bang for your buck!

Pros - More than fast enough for 99% of tasks. If you need a bit more speed they have a higher speed version for ~15% more at time of writing. - High capacity for dollar Cons - One failure at arrival due to CRC error. Possible this made it past QA but more likely damage of some description during shipping. The package was bent but not around the drive, still may have been some deflection which caused issues. Overall I highly recommend this drive. Im currently populating an Asys Hyper M.2 gen 3 card with three of these and one in the faster version for rapid photo editing. It makes a massive difference running the software library and files off a single drive and moving off SATA SSD to these is significant. Even moving from this version to the Silicon Power A80 2TB, which is a touch faster, speeds things up marginally (not enough for most people to notice but when youre loading a library with ~10k photos, 500GB, and the library files to support it theres a difference). Ill be submitting an RMA for the one failed drive but I want to note this is the 12th drive Ive purchased from them and the first failure. Several have been in service over five years. I have NO ISSUES with the brand thus far.

For a medium tier ssd (just barely) this nvme m.2 performs pretty well. It has no heat sink and it’s dram-less hopefully anyone buying knows that, it’s not going to give you the same performance as a 970pro evo. As a drive for games though you’ll have no regrets. Installed this on my midrange pc (b450m) within minutes, I had to pop out the gpu as the location is a bit in there but that’s a mobo thing not the drive. Pretty solid read/write speeds for a gen3 midrange. Not really much else to add aside from understanding what you are buying, it’s a good price for a midtier dram-less ssd, the same from WD or Hynix will run you about $20-$30 more, but it’s still a 3rd gen and you’re getting what you paid for essentially. If you need something with higher TBW, read/write speeds, than please consider a higher tier WD or Samsung or consider a gen4 if your mobo allows it. What it’s good for: Basic file storage/transfer Games Some mid level media editing Huge improvement over any HDD and minimal improvement over sata SSDs What it’s not going to do: Large scale file storage/transfer (meaning it won’t do with the 1tb being constantly rewritten thousands of times abs might have performance issues if constantly full) 4k media editing The ability to cool itself when met with higher temps (100c+) if you buy a heatsink or your mobo came with one it might do slightly better

I used it with the External USB connected enclosure and ot works great there.

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.

Performs adequately Great storage

Installed yesterday in a new computer build, came right up and no issues. I use a lot of Silicon Power products and this has come to be what I expect from them and at a reasonable price. Something to be aware of as others have pointed out, it is a bummer this does not include the M.2 motherboard mounting screw with it. Thankfully I found that the new motherboard I installed came with two in the box. Had I not had these this would have been frustrating since I would have had to find or order one. I did knock off a star due to this, had I not had the ones with the new motherboard I would have had to wait to finish the build.

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.
