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

Was very easy to install if you got the new m/b with m.2 socket. Getting rid of unnecessary cables. So far, this has worked great and I even benchmark to see if the claim of its reading and writing were true, sure enough it was. However, my overall score reflected it from my previous use of SSD HD and I thought this would make a bit of difference as SSD did for me from mechanical HD. But nope, barely noticed any speed difference, however, the convenience of not having to hook up wires and make your internal looks of your computer ugly, I would buy this again for another build.

Grate value for 512 GB NVMe module.

Amazing seq R/W, but the random 4k is only performing average. Installed in an PCIe adapter (Sintech). The price for this NVME from SP is the cheapest among all the other brand which can perform above 3000MB/s. I think the people are classifying these >3000MB/s as higher end NVME, eg 970, BPX, SX8200, S70, SN750, 760P etc, While for those perform ~2000MB/s as lower end NVME, eg P1, EX900 etc. Dont misunderstand me, all these higher/lower-end NVME are in my Amazon wish list. I am reading all the reviews for comparison purpose. Btw, i have ordered the P1 and it is on the way. If P1 can perform better random 4k, i may swap out this SP. UPDATE 17 Apr 2019: After tried the crucial P1, yes the random 4K is better (~10MB/s more). However the heat from P1 make me feel uncomfortable) Idle: SP only 22 degree but P1 is already 30+ degree Heavy load: SP highest is about 44 degree but P1 come to Red zone, 58 degree. All these temperatures are read from Crystaldisk. Both SP and P1 are install at the same adapter with heat sink (from Sintech). So in the end, I remain at SP. The 1st photo attached earlier is CDM reading without BitLocker. 2nd photo is CDM reading with BitLocker, and can see the Temperature behind also.

What a disappointment! The listing clearly says w/DRAM cache. It doesnt have it. The drive I received, with part number ending in AB, is not the same drive as the one well reviewed at various websites like Tomshardware. Those drives use Phiseon controllers and have DRAM, one chip per side. What I got uses the budget Realtek controller and has no DRAM. Be careful, the part number ending in AB is indeed mentioned in the product details, so technically you receive what you ordered. However the listing of the title and all the info/reviews out there Re for a different drive, which only has the same name, A80. Its insincere to say the least. Avoid.

Great product and works and runs exactly as described

I purchased 6 of the 1tb p34a80 model NVMEs. I put all 6 drives into a pool of 3x 2-way mirrors. R/W performance was on par with the advertisements, I wasnt expecting to surpass those speeds with the pool as the PCIe riser card nor my motherboard support bifurcation to take full advantage of the PCIe lanes available to the card. Note that even in a pool of 6 drives, the speed transferring files tanks after the cache has filled on these drives. These drives were close to being a 5 star product. One of the drives starting propagating read errors less than 24 hours after installing. Amazon is replacing the drive. Will update how the replacement does over time

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.

Ive been using it as my main drive for the last 3 years without any issues, can recommend and its great value for money compared to other options on the market.

Put it an external case-- able to format it & install a couple games on it. It gets very hot & loses connection to W10. All drivers are up to date & cables secure. I have a different brand case & smaller SSD that work fine.

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.
