Silicon Power 2TB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen3x4 2280 SSD R/W up to 3,400/3,000MB/s (SU002TBP34A80M28AB)

Update:: my year old laptop nvme still doing great, have built multiple new pc with these and never seen one fail. If you have a heat sync it does very good but if not it’s fine, my intel 660p gets much hotter. The pic says it all... using crystal disk I took info as well. I idle at 28c during the hottest part of the stress test we hit 65c for only a second then 60,54,49,45,40,36,30,28. Extremely fast temp changes only was at max few seconds and this was still under 70. Will update if longevity holds but so far so good. Be sure to verify your board can support nvme if running a sata speed m2. If you have not tried NVMe and have a m2 slot I don’t know what else your waiting for. Prices are hovering at same price as m2sata for m2 nvme. Works great on my dell g5 laptop

This product is incredible and absolutely worth the money. I was initially skeptical on the possible quality issues this product may contain considering its cheap price, but after installing it, I must say I am amazed at its performance. I purchased this to upgrade the stock 128GB storage in my early 2015 MacBook Air, 11.6” i5. I had to purchase a cheap 5 dollar adapter(which is easily found right here on amazon) to allow me to install any standard NVME into Apple’s proprietary storage slot. After the install, I booted from my macOS installer usb and formatted the new disk with disk utility. Then, I installed Catalina fresh and restored my data with Time Machine. After getting all my data transferred, I ran Black Magic Speed Test. The results were staggering compared to the stock storage. With stock storage, I got a write speed of 154.6 MB/s and a read speed of 563.4 MB/s. With the A80, I got a write speed of 1056.2 MB/s and a read speed of 1324.8 MB/s. That’s nearly a 1000% increase(not a typo) in write speed and nearly 300% increase in read speed. The difference is incredibly noticeable and my MacBook flies. I HIGHLY recommend this for any use, whether it’s for a MacBook upgrade or a Windows desktop or notebook. I will be purchasing a second one of these to install in my main PC rig to replace an old SSD. If you’re in the market for a 1TB NVME, look nowhere else! This is the one to buy.

Was looking for a budget nvme that had decent speeds and capacity and I decided on this one. I didn’t really think twice about buying it since I already own quite a bit of Silicon Power products and have only ever had one fail. After I received the nvme ssd I installed it to my system and used it as a secondary drive for 4k video editing. I proceeded to use it for only about a week before it stopped working. The first thing I noticed was that it gave me a prompt that said “device not specified”. I tried recovering the footage on the drive but I couldn’t read nor write any information from the drive. I proceeded to restart my computer to see if that would fix the issue but instead the drive no longer appeared in File Explorer. I tried reseating it and formatting the drive but nothing worked. Eventually I gave up and requested a replacement. When replacement arrived I set it up and started using it for the same purpose as the last and to my surprise, it failed after only three days of use! One thing I did notice is that the drive does get hot under load (measured using HWINFO). I made sure to measure the temperatures to see if it was a heat issue and it reached up to 85c before I turned off the system to prevent any damage. I then installed an nvme heat sink to test if it was a heat issue or reliability issue. Even with a heat sink installed it managed to reach a peak of 75c with an average of 47c under heavy load. To my surprise the replacement drive failed after three days of use! Both drives had little over 2TB of data written to them and about 400GB of data read, nowhere close to the drive durability rating. Pros: - Great Value...if it was reliable Cons: - VERY UNRELIABLE - HOT UNDERLOAD Overall, I think the drive is unreliable and not for those who need it for mission critical data and heavy use cases. I haven’t used the drive for lighter use cases so I can’t really give an opinion there but I think it’s best to avoid this drive.

Initially, this worked great, but after 4 months, I constantly got disk errors and blue screens. It would work for a while, but slowly data was being corrupted. I didnt realize it until random folders/files were inaccessible and my games would no longer work. My backups would not complete because it could not read the drive. Ran some tests on the drive and it would not complete because it was so bad. Good thing for the 5 year warranty.

Like many other purchasers, I poured over dozens of NVMe / storage reviews before upgrading my 6-year-old Samsung SSD. This model, the P34A80 1TB, came out on top over and over again as the best bang for your buck drive. After installing the drive and performing a fresh install of Win10, including several reboots to install all available drivers and updates, the performance was ... disappointing. At best, it was immediately slower than my previous SSD. At worst, apps would take MINUTES to launch (or fail to launch), and Windows would misbehave in strange ways. According to CrystalDiskInfo, IOPS and throughput were abysmal -- roughly a fifth of what I saw in review sites benchmarks. This happens sometimes, and its usually a sign that the drive needs TRIMmed. No problem; I ran TRIM, rebooted, and immediately saw an improvement. However, apps were still sluggish and Windows was still misbehaving (for example, desktop icons would take an additional 10 seconds to appear after logging in; I dont even have this problem on my old laptop with its conventional magnetic drive). I re-ran Crystal, and got the results you see here. While these numbers arent terrible, and some exceed the published benchmarks, overall system performance is poor, and Im still seeing a number of bizarre Windows issues: icons not appearing until 20 seconds after logging in, apps that used to launch instantly now taking 15+ seconds, long boot times, and occasional app failures. I performed yet another fresh Win10 reinstall (not a reset), allowed it to run all available Windows updates, and installed my daily driver software: Firefox, Steam, and pCloud. Performance was fine for a day, but now its gone back to trash. Despite the reasonable benchmark performance, my system is NOTICEABLY slower than it was on my six-year-old SATA SSD. I dont mean it takes a few milliseconds longer to access a large database; I mean it feels like Ive gone back to an old magnetic drive. After reading a few reports of Silicon Power downgrading the chipset between the models that were sent to reviewers and the models that were sent to consumers, I suspect I found the root cause of my issue. Im going to be returning this and going with another brand.

I mainly got this as a replacement for my storage SSHD, but I now use it as my OS drive as well. My computer boots faster, file transfer are snappy, games load faster (though not much more noticeable than my older 850 Evo). If you use this for everyday use/gaming I dont think youll be disappointed. This all being said, there have been some changes to the device since many of the reviews came out. The one I got is no longer single sided, I havent been able to verify the controller yet, but if its single side 1TB its not the Phison E12 model. Having compared performance benchmarks to those on Tomshardware, the drive performs worse. In short, great SSD for the price. Great for every day use. However, the model has been changed since the original Phison E12 versions, so dont expect performance like you see in many reviews of the drive.

This is my 4th SP SSD. They work well, they work fast. No complaints when used for desktop computers. Highly recommended product. Update 5/15/2021: After purchasing a total of 9 SP storage products a total of 2 have prematurely failed. The first one worked erratically out of the box and ultimately failed after 1 month of usage. The second failure happened after installing windows 10 on a computer and storing it for about 1 year. When the laptop was taken out of storage it would not boot. The culprit was the SP SSD. The other SDDs I purchased are still working great. I think I got hit with two cases of infant mortality. I will update again if I get any more failures.

I picked up an old PC that was being discarded and it supported NVMe. I am using it as a ProxMox box to run Home Assistant. The performance of this NVMe allows Home Assistant to be very responsive. So, for only the price of this drive and having a snappy home automation system is money well spent.

Great Product

Samsung is no longer the only game in town... Or maybe they are. This thing probably uses Samsung chips. In any event, I dropped this in and cloned my 512GB Samsung 860 Pro over to it using Macrium Reflect. I extended the partition to use the whole 2TB. Then removed the Samsung and rebooted. It was like I never messed with it, except I now have 2TB of space instead of 1/4 of that. Beautiful. Being able to have and run everything from one main drive, and backup literally that one and only main drive has simplified things. And, reducing complexity in storage and backup is necessarily an increase in data security. The less there is to go wrong, the less that will go wrong. I am very happy with this.
