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

Used this to upgrade my old iMac and so far so good. A good performance boost from the old HDD.

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).

So I bought this to replace an spinning disk drive in my gaming laptop. (Im still not sure why companies even bother putting spinning disks in gaming laptops anymore its such a performance limiter and provides unnecessary heat) I bought the 2 TB model and so far its been great. The performance is just not even remotely close its so much better for my larger games like Ark, Conan, Red Dead. Now there is a downside. Once you get through the Cache on the device the write does slow down a ways. Its not terrible but as others have noticed it happens. Still better than a spinning disk though so that is a bonus. Still overall very happy with the price verse size of the drive I can finally bring my gaming laptop wherever I go and not have to much of a performance hit compared to my desktop.

Its an SSD. Not a particularly fast one because of its sata interface, but I needed it for modding an Xbox 360. Does speed really matter? Probably not, and the things been working fine, so 5 stars it is. One thing though, if youre modding a phat xbox 360, then youll need some sort of space to make it work in the hard drive enclosure.

I have been using an SSP solid-state drive (SSD) for a few months now, and I am very impressed with its performance. I recommend SSP solid-state drives (SSDs) to anyone who wants to upgrade their computer and enjoy a smoother and faster user experience.

This was one of the best values Ive found for SSDs in the 1TB range. Most others still run well over $100 for 1TB of storage (at the time of this review in Dec 2019). Silicon Power does provide free software for download to check and monitor the health (and check the SMART stats) of their SSD drives - SP Toolbox. I would recommend downloading the free utility from SPs website for occasionally checking and ensuring your drive is in good health. From a transfer rate perspective, this SSD works as advertised, and performs as well as a Crucial MX SSD 3D NAND that I also have installed in the same desktop system. SSDs are best for general purpose use - primarily as boot drives for OS and apps, especially on laptops. The OS will boot much, much faster from a SSD compared to a mechanical HDD, and the SSD will consume a lot less power than a mechanical HDD. Apps also launch in a fraction of the time on a SSD. The only drawback with a SSD is its overall shelf life - it has a limited number of writes, which not a huge factor if youre only using the drive for booting the OS and running apps. For media storage, backups, databases, and large files, mechanical HDDs are still the way to go, and theyre still a lot less expensive than a SSD. Over time, if you write or delete a lot of data from a SSD drive, performance will begin to deteriorate. Most however will not encounter much in the way of performance degradation, even after several years of drive use. Either way, SSD is best for read operations, and will vastly outperform a mechanical HDD for reading data, hence the much faster boot and app launch times. They are well worth it for the performance boost...time is money. Silicon Power seems to be making quality drives that work, but time will tell. If it fails or clunks out early, Ill be back here to modify my review. Otherwise, no complaints, 5 stars.

Using it for months now. No problem at all. Great item.

I put the SSD into my Xbox 360. The drive fits into the plastic case that then attaches to the side of the console. I installed a reset glitch hack onto this console a while back. So now I have more storage and everything loads very fast. Makes absolutely no noise. The disc drives on these old consoles are going bad more and more over time so Im happy that I can backup my game discs onto the SSD. I just wanted to post this review for anybody wondering if the SSD will work in an RGH. It does. You just put it in and go to the dashboard and hit format. My console is a 2009 jasper. You dont really need an SSD for the 360 but the price was good. Photo is the drive showing up on aurora dashboard. If you dont have an RGH/JTAG you need to use the Microsoft brand drives.
