Silicon Power SSD 1TB 3D NAND A55 SLC Cache Performance Boost 2.5 inch SATA III 7mm (0.28") Internal Solid State Drive

Can't believe how long it lasted for the value, several years with no slow down, greatly improved the boot speed and load times of the aging laptop it was fitted to. Easy to install if you know what you are doing, great budget option

So if (a couple of years ago) you had told me that a half terabyte SSD would be less than the (then) price of the same size hhd i wouldn't have believed you. Zoom forward to today and often, the even faster m.2 nvme drives are cheaper still on a per gb basis. However for builds such as the updating and speeding up of both my HP enterprize z600/z800 builds which wont easily boot from nvme, and (for the same reasons) my updated Mac Pro a1186 builds for music studios, these are the perfect addition. Faster than any given hdd, and with using it in older sata 2 systems, it will run as fast as the system underneath can chew through data. What i will mention is that, although i was initially nervous as to using a dram cacheless drive after previous issues with older equivalents from other brands, i can confidently report that the tiered nand flash approach that this drive uses is perfectly suited for the application and plenty fast. It uses a smaller and lighting fast single layer nand flash cache, (exactly as a dram cache would be utilised, but in many cases significantly faster than the old and slow ddr3 used) it then moves the data archived onto the still fast but less-so qlc nand which is the size of the drives headline capacity to store. Again at the £44 i paid this is a no brainer. Good quality, great price and no issues and all testing using crystal tools reports at least advertised speed on a fast top end HEDT platform and in some cases its actually run faster than advertised.

We have a couple of these drives now for use as secondary storage for game installs on gaming laptops. The first one was bought a couple of years ago, the second recently, and overall they offer very good value for money as secondary storage. They're a QLC NAND based DRAM-less SSD. That means write speeds are dependent on whether or not you fill the SLC cache in a copy operation, which in turn depends on the remaining capacity as it treats some of the unused QLC as SLC. Using Macrium Reflect to copy the partition from the old HDD was a bit slow, around 50Mb/s for the 123Gb of data. However, copying 2 large datasets of 50Gb and then immediately another 80Gb ran at 200-400Mb/s for the most part for the large files in each, with occasional drops below 100Mb/s. This is more than acceptably quick given the low price. I wouldn't use cheaper QLC as a main boot drive, but as secondary storage for large game installs there's nothing wrong with it. Once installed most games have lots of reads and relatively few and small writes. My only gripe is the screw fittings. I had to use a Dremel to shorten the old HDD mounting screws by 1-2mm to get the tray to slide into the laptop mounting bay. For some reason when using the side mounting holes the screws catch and jam on the underside mounting threads, which as the photo shows wasn't the case with the older HDD. I only had this issue with 1 laptop and drive, it was annoying but doable.

Decent cheap ssd no noise pug and play super easy to use made of a weak plastic

I recently upgraded my computer's storage with the Silicon Power 256GB SSD, and I must say that I'm very impressed with its performance. This SSD is a great choice for anyone who wants to speed up their computer and improve overall efficiency. One of the standout features of this SSD is its impressive read and write speeds. I found that it was able to load applications and files much more quickly than my previous hard drive, making multitasking and other tasks much smoother and faster. Another great feature of the Silicon Power 256GB SSD is its 3D NAND flash technology. This allows for higher density storage and better performance than traditional 2D NAND, which is reflected in the SSD's overall speed and responsiveness. I also appreciated how easy it was to install this SSD. It came with clear instructions and software that made it simple to transfer my files and data from my old hard drive to the new SSD. The SSD is also very lightweight and durable, making it an ideal choice for use in laptops and other portable devices. Overall, I would highly recommend the Silicon Power 256GB SSD to anyone in need of a reliable and high-performance storage solution. It's easy to install, provides excellent read and write speeds, and is a great value for its price point. If you're looking to upgrade your computer's storage, this SSD is definitely worth considering.

Works perfectly. Used to swap out an older HDD that was causing my Laptop to run as slow as a week in the jail! Now everything works well, and given my Lenovo yoga a new lease of life!

All is ok

Perfect

it's a mess - it keeps disconnecting whenever I am editing a video on my computer. I have another ssd drive and no problem at all. it's written 3 years warranty: hope it's true..trying to contact seller now

J'ai acheté ce SSD (Version 512 Go, 49.99€) pour remplacer le disque dur de mon ordinateur (HP Elite 8300 SFF). Rien de particulier à signaler au montage, c'est un SSD, il peut être positionné n'importe comment et n'importe où (Simplement posé dans l'emplacement 3.5" pour ma part). Voici les résultats d'un test effectué immédiatement après l'installation de Windows 10 : ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CrystalDiskMark 6.0.2 x64 (C) 2007-2018 hiyohiyo Crystal Dew World : https://crystalmark.info/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- * MB/s = 1,000,000 bytes/s [SATA/600 = 600,000,000 bytes/s] * KB = 1000 bytes, KiB = 1024 bytes Sequential Read (Q= 32,T= 1) : 520.573 MB/s Sequential Write (Q= 32,T= 1) : 516.360 MB/s Random Read 4KiB (Q= 8,T= 8) : 310.940 MB/s [ 75913.1 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 8,T= 8) : 368.480 MB/s [ 89960.9 IOPS] Random Read 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 241.143 MB/s [ 58872.8 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 220.872 MB/s [ 53923.8 IOPS] Random Read 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 25.953 MB/s [ 6336.2 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 51.670 MB/s [ 12614.7 IOPS] Test : 1024 MiB [C: 5.0% (23.7/476.3 GiB)] (x5) [Interval=5 sec] Date : 2019/08/08 21:55:05 OS : Windows 10 Professional [10.0 Build 18362] (x64) Après quelques jours d'utilisation, rien de négatif à signaler. Tout s'exécute très rapidement. En ce qui concerne : - La durée de vie : Il est beaucoup trop tôt pout émettre un avis. - La capacité utilisable du SSD : Elle est d'environ 476 Go. - Le service après vente : Je n'ai pas eu à faire appel à lui à ce jour (SAV Amazon, je suppose ?). Selon moi, ce SSD semble être un bon rapport qualité / prix pour l'utilisateur qui ne recherche pas des performances "extrêmes". Il officiera parfaitement dans n'importe quel ordinateur en SATA3 pour la majorité des usages.
