SP 1TB SSD 3D NAND A55 SLC Cache Performance Boost SATA III 2.5 7mm (0.28) Internal Solid State Drive (SP001TBSS3A55S25)

Lo mejor en SSD. Y muy barato el precio a pagar.

First time buying this item. Feels very cheap, all plastic and very light. Well, lets see how it does. Thats why a 4 stars. If it last Ill come back and give 5 stars or 1 star if it fails.

I chose this SSD for a home security camera recordings, to keep the computer as quiet as possible and lower the power consumption on a 24-hour device. At this price point and with a 1000 TBW, there is no reason to worry about wearing it out with recording overwrites, by the time it dies I will either need a new PC, or another storage technology will be available. It is very fast for the intended use, scrolling through video recordings is instantaneous and smooth. Highly recommend.

Excellent deal at that low price!

My old laptop turns on in 10 seconds with this HD wow!

With all the fake (often with unknown brand) SSD out there, its always good to stick to known brands. This is a good genuine drive, with good read/write speed, which I am using for backup, on my Lenovo laptop, connected to USB-C, using a SATA to USB-C adapter. Those read/write results are while using that SATA to USB-C adapter, and may be different (faster?) if you plug this drive directly on your motherboard, using a SATA port.

Have had this drive Since December 9th of 2022 (It is now April 2nd 2023) and so far it is still going ok. The storage is as advertised at the full 2TB, Which for the price was what sold me. Even with the neutral to negative reviews that I had seen. However, The average response time is worse that the 2TB Seagate HDD. Im seeing an average response time of over 500ms on average with occasional spikes to 900ms. The HDD averages around 3.2 to 12ms. The only reason that I have not really noticed the delay is im not running the highest graphics in games that require the fast response. Just simply needed more storage. Not a terrible SSD, but not responsive enough for fast random read/writes. Good for bulk storage. (Longevity is still in question).

I have three of these disks (1 TB) installed in a ZFS pool (no mirroring, no raidz). I needed cheap SSDs for my workloads, which are heavily write intensive, but require sporadic, small sized, random reads, a few times every second. Well, NAND flash can be great for that. Or at-least thats what youd expect. Sidenote: if you know anything about 7200rpm spinning drives, you know they can sustain a reasonable ~150-200MB/s sequential write, but throughput will suffer quite a bit if they need to simultaneously seek to fetch non-contiguous data. And then theres the issue of limited IOPS. I wasnt expecting miracles from these SSDs, but I was certainly expecting each to sustain atleast ~200 MB/s sequential writes. Well lo and behold, once you blow through the onboard SLC cache after a measly 30 seconds of writes at ~500MB/s, the drives start choking. Nothing more than ~65MB/s after that. I know these are TLC drives with SLC cache, but woof, those numbers arent great. So, if your workload isnt write heavy, by all means get this thing. But Id think youd want a little more performance out of something only fractionally cheaper than better performing alternatives. Also, no benchmarks posted on here use a large enough test file size to actually blow through the SLC cache, so the only thing you see results for is your SATA connection and/or packet congestion in the PCIe lane. On the positive side, sustained read performance was as expected, saturated the SATA III link without any issues.

It isnt the best performing thing out there, but it sure is a heck of a lot better than the HDD it replaced. Would recommend this brand if you need quick and cheap SSDs that are likely to perform acceptably.

Exceptional price - no problems with install - works great. I recommend this product.
