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

Compré este ssd nvme porque anteriormente ya había comprado varios satas para unas pc viejitas que tuve. Armé una pc para un amigo y decidimos optar por este modelo de gen 3 por su relación rendimiento precio. Y como en las compras anteriores, SP no decepciona sino sorprende por su calidad y precio. Para la próxima compraré unos dos más, quiero probarlos en configuración raid.

I bought this to put in my iMac 27 2017 and put it in a NVMe USB C Thunderbolt adapter to transfer the files via migration. HOLY COW even externally my MacOS runs insanely faster than it did on my Fusion set up that came in it. So fast and with no lagging that Ive been too lazy to attempt a proper 4hr long installation. lol. Im moving huge video files around with no lagging or anything so... idk if I am even going to put it inside the machine now. lol. Itd sure be easier to resell the imac in a couple years if I dont pop it open and leave in the stock stuff (and not void my AppleCare). Anywho. GO FOR IT! This gets speeds of 2000+/1300+ R/W EXTERNALLY via USB-C with the OS also running on it when testing. lol.

Great product and works and runs exactly as described

Some time ago I built my own desktop PC, based on a brick and mortars list. One item the suggested was a Samsung EVO, but at the time I could only afford a 250GB, which Ive been nursing along (I test and play with a lot of programs). A few days ago my grand-daughter unexpectedly loaded some version of Fortnight, over 80 GB, and that pretty much shot things to Hades. So I dug into some tech specs -- both about SSDs and my Mobo -- and opted for this SP 1 TB @ $130. One thing I preferred was that it was TLC instead of the more common (and cheaper?) QLC. The former reportedly offers greater write-cycles, hence longevity, with some differences in speeds (slower). But I dont do any intensive video editing or game-playing (ha, see my grandchildren for that), so as long as speeds are faster than a 5400 hard drive on USB v2, Im good. As it turned out, this actually appears to perform faster than my old EVO : see attachments. Thus, speed-wise, Im unexpectedly pleased, and would give it 5 stars. (Longevity, who knows, but it does claim to have a 5 year warranty.) The downside, and down to 3 stars is because, 1. It doesnt ship with a bloody screw. Now, I have a ton of PC screws, going back literally decades. But dang if I have any of these tiny things. Ive been told its a 2.0 x 3mm (CM2x3-3.3), so I have to go to Ace and see if they have one. Grrrr. I mean, they cant add one screw? Meantime, I used a kludgy long english thread of some type. Hope it holds for a day or so. 2. There is absolutely no documentation included (not sure what there should be, maybe a thank you note or warranty info?). They mention their free cloning software on the back of the SSD itself. Crazy. Fortunately, I have Acronis, so I cloned my old drive with that. 3. And their web site has no further info, no potential firmware upgrades, no SSD monitoring software, etc. Nada. I installed their SSD firmware upgrade software, but it didnt even see the SSD. What I bought is what Ill have. So support-wise, dont expect anything. Including, I fear, any warranty support? Ill update this if necessary. Just get a screw before you buy this.

Stupid fast! Stupid cheap! Get it!! ***Remember kids, to PROPERLY test your m.2 in CrystalDiskMark, You HAVE to click on Settings and select NVMe SSD! If you dont its going to treat it like an SDD, not an SSD! If you are getting low 2000s thats probably your problem.

There are two kinds of users when it comes to SSD storage. Those who have lost data and those who will lose data. I have moved from will, to have. Initially a few bad clusters started showing up then more and more with each use. I cannot trust this drive

I had heard about Silicon Power switching components for cheaper parts after the initial batch of SSDs, but I guess I was lucky enough to get a good one. I benchmarked the drive and it seemed to have close to the rated performance, maybe off by 10% or so. So for the price I cannot really complain. Has worked flawlessly so far.

Installed a couple of these in MacBook Airs that I have refurbished. Important to note that 2014/2015 MB Airs will experience a short delay when booting up (15-20 sec). This is because they are not the OEM drive and the EFI needs time to recognize it. Reset the PRAM and in most cases it will shorten the boot-up delay next time around. After the short delay I mentioned, this drive F-L-I-E-S. Very responsive and not sure you could ask for anything faster. I am currently using the 2TB version of this in my MB Air and response it good. NOTE: If using in a Mac, you need an MVmE adapter to use it. Spend another $9 and get a decent one, not the cheapies. Have beenusing mine for 6 mos now with zero issues.

Like the price the Read speed is good 544 mb/s the write is a little slow in the 300 mb/s. I worry the life is going to be much shorter than my Western Digital SSD 500 sata.

This made my laptop start faster than my gaming pc
