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

Good

I had it in my Mac Pro as storage, not the main OS drive, bought it last June and a couple of weeks ago my Mac started acing up, crashing, freezing...I methodically went through the other discs and this one was causing the problem..... I have contacted their support and see if they can do anything for me....shouldve spent the extra on another Samsung SSD...oh well, you live and learn !

I bought this as a replacement for a 1TB mechanical drive I had on my DIY NAS. So far so good. No problems with BTRFS and it remains powered 24/7.

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

After getting a PS5 using my older PS4 Pro in my bedroom was becoming quite annoying. It seemed like it was frozen half the time waiting for menus to load. After sliding this in and downloading the OS my PS4 was at least 10xs faster. Now I find myself firing it up way more often. For anything that has a hdd this upgrade is a must and the price of this SSD makes it a no brainer.

Use this Silicon Power SSD as a NAS back up drive even though I know it it not designed for NAS storage. But with the price this low I prefer the Silicon Power SSD over a mechanical drive. Anyway, the Silicon Power SSD and the NAS has been on 24 7 non stop for three months straight and the SSD has been working fine and there is 99% life remaining as it is shown on the drive analysis after three months of non stop usage. Overall good SSD, recommended.

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).

Ive purchased these drives twice, one 512 GB and one 2 TB drive. The 512 GB drive failed within one year. When it failed, all reads and writes to it were incredibly slow, and any system that tried to boot off of it would crash, though I was still able to recover data from it. I called in the warranty on that drive, and both its replacement and the 2 TB drive exhibited the same issue where it *looked* like it was working, but its read / write performance was incredibly inconsistent. The systems booting off of those drives would occasionally freeze for seemingly no reason and at random times. I couldnt figure out what was going on until I did a benchmark of the drives and saw how bad the read speeds were. In particular, I noticed that sometimes the read speeds went crashing down to ZERO. That certainly explains why my systems were locking up. I used a free app called HD Tune to do the benchmarking. Ive attached a few of the graphs it produces as it runs to this review to illustrate what a failing drive looks like. If you buy one of these drives and see something similar to what Ive shared, then definitely RMA those drives ASAP because they will cause your system to freeze or crash. I called in the warranty on both the replacement 512 MB and 2 TB drives (for a total of three RMAs), and the replacements do seem to work correctly. So luckily not all of these SSDs have that issue. But its worth noting that three out of the five of these drives Ive had were faulty, and it still remains to be seen how long these two new replacement drives will last.

Easy to install ssd but pain to get free cloning software for it from manufacturer. Luckily there are free packages out there (clonezilla if you are somewhat tech savvy).
