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

Well worth the price. If youre a windows user dont waste your time trying to get their migration software from their website. They partner with someone who pulled the resource sonyou wont find it. Their packaging needs updating so thats why I deducted 1 star. Search reflect 8 for good free software. Me as a linux user, quick & easy. Everything worked fast. Gparted or DD works fine.

Excelente lo recomiendo

Purchased six of these drives for use in building out an all-flash TrueNAS box. Ive got several of the 1TB version that Ive used with some pretty limited success, they seem to work fine on SCALE but are a bit temperamental so far on CORE. Physical installation is no different than any other drive of this size/form factor. The caveat here is that I seemed to have received drives with two different underlying hardware builds. Three of the six drives report in as 1.82 TiB, the other three are reporting in as 1.86 TiB. Not the end of the world ending up with mismatched vdev sizes, but not what one should need to expect or plan for when buying multiples of one item from a single listing.

Just got and tested it with CrystalDiskMark8 using an external $10 USB3.0 adapter. Testing again after installing internally in a late 2015 iMAC and after writing over 3TBs to it during several cloning/installation procedures. So far so good.

I directly copied over my O.S. (Operating system) from a mechanical Hard drive (HD) to the SSD using Macrium Reflect. The boot time of Windows 10 / 64-bit is never speedy {even with the SSD - about 20-25 seconds from BIOS logo to windows login}. The noticeable speed difference will come when you launch bulky applications like: Photoshop, games, photos, etc. Boot time will vary depending on different factors. The Silicon SDD speeds are the same as the Samsun 860 EVO 1TB (Up to 550/520MB/s seq read/write speeds). My tests are showing A55-1TB Silicone SSD with 550/440MB/s (screenshot posted with this review). My speeds are not tested with an Empty drive the A55/SSD was tested with a fully functioning OS on it (20% of the drive filled during testing). This is a fast drive at a reasonable price. IF, anything should occur with the hard drive over a period of time I will return to update this review (if possible). I am using three different variants of the Silicone SSD: 1TB, 480GB, and 256GB. (desktop, laptop, desktop) All three SSD drives are meeting or exceeding their competitions speeds. A note to all Windows users, please change your advance settings / hard disk timeout in your control panel unless you dont care about very noticeable lag spikes when you open or launch applications/documents. This is under control panel, top right search box type power, left window Edit power plan. Change advanced power settings, Expand Hard disk by clicking on the + symbol to the left of it. Click on the + symbol to the left of turn off hard disk after, click on Setting change to 0 minutes. (do this for M.2/NVME/SSD) otherwise you will wonder why your highspeed drive is acting slow. UPDATE: I have now purchased about 5 Silicon SSD (2.5) drives. ALL 5 are still working very well 5 months in. I have done speed tests on a few of them every month (I have multiple sizes: 256, 512, 480, 1TB) The speeds are stable. Meaning you will get a slight variation (either faster or slow) in the speed test numbers but nothing dramatic. If you are concerned about data loss, get a second hard drive (mechanical if you wish). Go get Macrium Reflect, home edition, and you can make a direct copy of your OS boot drive into an image file. Macrium is a UK based software company that has powerful free (home edition) software. YouTube has wonderful videos on how to do this, very simple. Remember to buy a USB stick (2GB more than enough) to make a media boot for recovery purposes.

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).

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

My 4 stars are because Ive had a 2TB SSD have performance issues, after using for a couple of weeks - I believe due to internal heating. Amazon accepted the return and the replacement has been perfect - it happens. I would not hesitate to by Silicon Power storage devices in the future as my experience with them has been good.

5 months still working,,, data storage movies and family photos

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