Silicon Power 2TB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen3x4 2280 SSD R/W up to 3,400/3,000MB/s (SU002TBP34A80M28AB)

Had issues and contacted the manufacturer. Prompt response. Removed from motherboard and placed in an enclosure to resolve the issue (drive become read-only for some reason).

Been using this as my OS and gaming drive since last year, and havent had any issues whatsoever. Sure, there are better quality Gen3 NVMe drives, but Im not about to pay an extra 40+ USD on them when, for my use case, I wont even notice a performance difference. If youre needing a new 2TB Gen3 NVMe with DRAM, this is the only one I trust in the 90-110 USD range.

I mainly got this as a replacement for my storage SSHD, but I now use it as my OS drive as well. My computer boots faster, file transfer are snappy, games load faster (though not much more noticeable than my older 850 Evo). If you use this for everyday use/gaming I dont think youll be disappointed. This all being said, there have been some changes to the device since many of the reviews came out. The one I got is no longer single sided, I havent been able to verify the controller yet, but if its single side 1TB its not the Phison E12 model. Having compared performance benchmarks to those on Tomshardware, the drive performs worse. In short, great SSD for the price. Great for every day use. However, the model has been changed since the original Phison E12 versions, so dont expect performance like you see in many reviews of the drive.

Ive only had it hooked up so far to a little external NVME case so limited to USB C 10Gb connection. Having said that, I still achieved 1.05GB/sec (8.4Gb) in both read and write using ATTO. Hard to complain about that. Amazing performance for the money. Ill be using it for a new build in a couple of months when I get the new AMD Zen 2 chip. Highly recommended!! Its now over 3 months later and I installed this drive in a new 3700X build 2 months ago. I had zero problems loading Windows 10 Pro, software, drivers, etc. on it. I was literally up and running in about half an hour and spent a few more hours loading up software and updates. Completely painless. Ive had zero problems so far and my new Asus MB X570e-Gaming motherboard has heatsinks for the M.2 drives. I have not been able to throttle the drive no matter how hard I work it. Love this drive especially at the price I paid. Insane and highly highly recommended!!

Amazing seq R/W, but the random 4k is only performing average. Installed in an PCIe adapter (Sintech). The price for this NVME from SP is the cheapest among all the other brand which can perform above 3000MB/s. I think the people are classifying these >3000MB/s as higher end NVME, eg 970, BPX, SX8200, S70, SN750, 760P etc, While for those perform ~2000MB/s as lower end NVME, eg P1, EX900 etc. Dont misunderstand me, all these higher/lower-end NVME are in my Amazon wish list. I am reading all the reviews for comparison purpose. Btw, i have ordered the P1 and it is on the way. If P1 can perform better random 4k, i may swap out this SP. UPDATE 17 Apr 2019: After tried the crucial P1, yes the random 4K is better (~10MB/s more). However the heat from P1 make me feel uncomfortable) Idle: SP only 22 degree but P1 is already 30+ degree Heavy load: SP highest is about 44 degree but P1 come to Red zone, 58 degree. All these temperatures are read from Crystaldisk. Both SP and P1 are install at the same adapter with heat sink (from Sintech). So in the end, I remain at SP. The 1st photo attached earlier is CDM reading without BitLocker. 2nd photo is CDM reading with BitLocker, and can see the Temperature behind also.

This is a good 1TB NVMe SSD. It has, of course, 1TB space and reads really fast, however, the write speeds vary from very fast to rather slow, depending on the test/bench marks. It is cheaper than the Samsung 970 EVO or WD Black NVMe SSD, but,..both of those perform better consistently at their rated read/write speeds. So, for about $20.00 more, Id go with the Samsung or WD Black for overall, consistent performance. Sorry Silicon Power. I got 2 of these on sale, (a really great deal) for my sons new laptop that came with a POS 128 GB, slug NVMe SSD, which btw, had 60 GB reserved for OS and bloatware. (REALLY..1/2 of the space was reserved and the partition was inaccessible for sizing. Sorry..off topic) So it was a great deal and they do function very well, just not consistently at the optimum rated write speed. I havent noticed any real lag or slowdowns due to this though, not yet, so I cant register a legitimate complaint about them. Overall, Im happy with the purchase and function/performance thus far.

Was very easy to install if you got the new m/b with m.2 socket. Getting rid of unnecessary cables. So far, this has worked great and I even benchmark to see if the claim of its reading and writing were true, sure enough it was. However, my overall score reflected it from my previous use of SSD HD and I thought this would make a bit of difference as SSD did for me from mechanical HD. But nope, barely noticed any speed difference, however, the convenience of not having to hook up wires and make your internal looks of your computer ugly, I would buy this again for another build.

I picked up an old PC that was being discarded and it supported NVMe. I am using it as a ProxMox box to run Home Assistant. The performance of this NVMe allows Home Assistant to be very responsive. So, for only the price of this drive and having a snappy home automation system is money well spent.

I bought a 1tb nvme ssd from you guys about a week ago, and it works great! I went with SP because it had the best bang for the buck I could find without sacrificing on read/ write speeds. I needed to transfer all of my computers data from an old HDD (yuck), and after switching to nvme I cant ever go back. Boot times and system response times are so much faster, and my HDD has been relegated to archival purposes only. - Cant rate for longevity, Ive barely had it in a couple days, but all the benchmarking Ive seen says that it will be more than adequate for a very long time for my uses :)

In image 1 is the Silicon Power 1TB NVMe Gen3 x4. Image 2 is my Samsung 850 EVO 500GB 2.5 SATA SSD for a side-by-side comparison. Well, if you could call it a comparison. This NVMe completely obliterated it. The NVMe is on a Gigabyte Aorus Elite X570 ATX motherboard with a Ryzen 7 3700X CPU. Running Windows 10 64-bit update 18363.592. Im using the boards included M.2 heat sink. The NVMe drive sits just above a rather warm Gigabyte R9 390. Thermals have stayed manageable and speeds have been as expected with no issues. I moved my Arch Linux installation to a little over half of the NVMe and its running exceptionally well. You can see from the 3rd image that the NVMe ran cooler than the 2.5 Samsung SSD. M.2s can benefit a lot from the airflow of being on the motherboard rather than in the PSU shroud or behind the motherboard panel, where a traditional 2.5 drive would often find itself. I have it installed in an NZXT H510 case with 3x 120mm PWM fans (1800 RPM max) and 1x stock 120mm DC /w voltage control fan (1500 RPM max). Fans are configured for a positive pressure, with the rear PWM fan as exhaust, single top DC fan as intake over the CPU, and 2 front PWM fans as intake. The Samsung SSD is behind the motherboard panel and installed on a modular tray. Ive been using the drives for various tasks throughout the day, including the CrystalDiskMark 6.0.0 bench. HWMonitor was up and recording max temps during that time. Verdict: BUY
