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

Delivered on time and with no damage to the Philippines. Ive used it for about a month now and have not noticed anything wrong with it. I use it as a secondary drive to store my games and some of my files. I couldnt tell the difference playing with my games on it (PCIE 3.0) vs my main NVME storage (PCIE 4.0). I hope it lasts a long time. One of the best deals I could find on a 2TB drive since the cheapest ones on the local and online stores here cost at least twice as much. This is cheaper than some high end (1TB only) PCIE 3.0 NVME drives here.

I have installed two of these in my new system, one with the OS on it, and within two days I have started to get the Blue Screen of Death (BSoD). I even pulled them both out and reinstalled them, the BSoD still occurred. My computer is very fresh but I use it for grad school and would like to let the OEM know I have received a faulted drive. I will be contacting the company vie their support when available. Has anyone else encountered this issue? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE: I had contacted Silicon Power of the issue, their technical customer service was great. Gave me specific actions to take to solve the problem. I obviously didnt want to format my drive but I did after getting angry of getting 3 BSoD in 10 minutes. I formatted it and updated the BIOS, I currently have not encountered the previous problem. They even provided me with RMA forms if Amazon did not take my replacement action (I never went through with this.) I shall keep this updated based on my experience. Silicon Power has been a great experience to work with to solve the problem I encountered with my inquiry of their product.

Best price to TB/performance of the lot. Quite happy with it, not getting spec 3000+ read and write. Macrium Reflect copies slower to same drive than it does to 500mbps Samsung 840 Pro SSD. Copying files to itself however is lightning fast. So far, for gaming and most applications, you wont see any real world performance difference between this and a SATA 3.0 500mb SSD. Once you have a few of these, coping files between drives is much faster, as is hashing and re-checking things such as torrents. No complaints!

I have had this for a few weeks and am loving the super fast boot time. Turning PC on from an OFF state, my boot time to login screen is 11 seconds and to use-able desktop about 18 seconds. Copying large files from folder to folder is lightning fast. SSD temp is around 40 to 45 C at load and 30 to 35 C idle. And this even with a huge RX480 sitting on top of it. After constant long gaming with Witcher 3 and my graphics card temp at 60 to 70 C, my Silicon Power SSD remains in the 30s C. I just dont find some of the reviews claiming this drive runs hot to be all that credible. I would really need to see what their setup is like. i5-9400f 16gigs GSKILL RAM (2x8), 2400mhz ASRock H310CM-HDV/M.2 LGA 1151 (300 Series) MSI RX480 w/fan speeds controlled using MSI Afterburner NZXT H500 w/only 2 Corsair SP fans running (1 intake, 1 exhaust) My room temperature is around 76 to 78 degrees F.

Put it an external case-- able to format it & install a couple games on it. It gets very hot & loses connection to W10. All drivers are up to date & cables secure. I have a different brand case & smaller SSD that work fine.

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.

This review is for: Silicon Power 2TB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen3x4 2280 TLC R/W up to 3,400/3,000MB/s SSD which I used to upgrade my 2014 macbook pro. It was easy to install(be sure to order adapter) and the speeds are very good for my laptop. R/W speeds are both over 1300mbps which is very good for my year macbook. I get this same speed in OSX Catalina and in my Windows 10 bootcamp install. It works great so far, my only concern is that my laptop does run noticeable warmer. Its not hot, just warmer....and when I installed Win 10 with bootcamp the fan actually kicked into high gear and I had never heard that before. So for my year macbook it does make it run warmer, but not hot....so it should be fine. The adapter card I used with it is: Sintech NGFF M.2 nVME SSD Adapter Card. If your wondering there is no room for a heat sink, even a very small one, once this is installed with the adapter card.

I purchased the 1TB module. If youre like me, youve poured over reviews trying to maximize performance per dollar. According to umpteen reviews Ive read, this card ranks very highly in that regard. I assumed that was the card Id be buying, but thats questionable. BUYER BEWARE: The only similarity between this card and the one in all the reviews youve read is the Phison E12 controller. The current model no longer uses Toshiba flash, rather its using flash from a company called Unic, a Chinese flash manufacturer. I entered the chip markings into Google hoping to stumble upon some specs, but no dice, this flash memory is essentially unheard of as far as Google goes. To add a cherry on top, the DRAM buffer is now comprised of Nanya DDR3 modules, no longer the faster Hynix DDR4. At first glance this appears to be a classic bait and switch, but I *cannot* confirm this as I have not run any testing on this newer variant. In essence, if you purchase this, realize you will be taking a gamble on performance, as all review sites have reviewed the old revision with Toshiba flash & DDR4 buffer. My thought is that if SP is going to make a major change to SSD components, they reflect this change through a different model number or revision suffix, instead of sweeping the changes under the rug and hoping nobody notices. I am genuinely curious how this card compares to the older one performance-wise, but I decided I wont be that guinea pig; Ill choose a different SSD brand for my new build.

No Issues

This made my laptop start faster than my gaming pc
