Silicon Power SSD 512GB 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.

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.

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

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!

Good budget SSD that gets the job done with decent sata speeds as expected. Was easy to install as someone who knows how to already but came with instructions for those less experienced which is always nice.

At first this SSD works passably; the data transfer speed wasn't quite what was advertised but after adding it to an aging laptop to replace a failing spinning HDD it did improve its startup time. I bought the 512 GB model in May 2024, and it spontaneously suffered a total failure in September. The laptop would not start up, and despite plugging it into multiple other machines and even a dedicated drive recovery unit, nothing could even tell it was an SSD. This listing, the product packaging, and the Silicon Power website all mention a 3 year warranty. Attempting to make use of this warranty is a miserable experience. The website's primary phone number is in Taiwan and the alternative has no international code provided but appears to be based in the USA. The product packaging has two more phone numbers in the Netherlands (which I tried calling and did not pick up) and Japan. There is also a website support form, but responses are very delayed and not very helpful. In summary: The options to return this £26 item are to ship it to the Netherlands (costing about £10) or Taiwan (a little more). Moreover, you need to fill out an "RMA application form" first, and they only accept returns with tracking or express delivery services. Apparently shipping costs can be repaid, but the process of applying for that repayment has not been explained. Perhaps most absurd though, I am informed: "Silicon Power will inspect the product and in its sole discretion repair or replace it with a comparable one based on the warranty policy." This implies they may simply claim the product is damaged and refuse to fulfil the warranty at all, probably also refusing to reimburse shipping costs in the process. Even if they do accept the product is faulty, there is no option to refund, only to receive another product which is just as likely to be faulty. Throughout this experience I am left with the impression that the business model is to sell cheaply-produced products that barely last beyond Amazon's standard warranty, while claiming to offer a longer warranty that has so many barricades that few to no customers will ever manage to make use of it. I strongly advise anyone considering these SSDs to reconsider. Rather than the low cost of an SSD, think about the cost of the data you intend to store on it; that is what you will really pay if and when it fails.

All is ok

Excellente qualité

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.

Llevaba años intentando que mi portátil del Pleistoceno (ese que venía con disquete de cortesía y Firefox 3 como lujo) dejara de sonar como un F18 despegando. Pero bastó enchufarle este Silicon Power A55 de 512 GB para que pasara de “tecleo y rezo” a “clic y vuela”. ⚡ Velocidad supersónica (literal). Inicié Windows y, antes de poder parpadear, ya me estaba juzgando por no hacer ejercicio. 🛡️ A prueba de terremotos familiares. Se me cayó de la mesa en pleno cambio, rebotó en el gato y siguió funcionando como si nada (el gato también, gracias). 🔌 Instalación sin PhD. Abrí el portátil, quité el disco mecánico que pesaba como un ladrillo y en tres tornillos ya estaba listo. Ni tornillos sobrantes, ni maldiciones en sánscrito. 🎮 Modo turbo para todo. Juegos, programas, vídeos de gatitos a 4K… Todo carga tan rápido que me siento millennial otra vez. Advertencias: - El navegador ya no me deja preparar café entre pestaña y pestaña. - Mis amigos creen que cambié de ordenador; la pura verdad es que cambié de disco y me sobró para una pizza. Pros - Velocidad que hace que el Wi-Fi parezca cabreado porque no puede seguirle el ritmo. - Precio de bocadillo de jamón premium, rendimiento de croqueta celestial. - Tres años de garantía para presumir sin miedo en las cenas familiares. Contras - Ahora ya no tengo excusa para procrastinar: todo carga demasiado rápido. - Cuando lo enseñas, los colegas te piden que les montes el suyo .
