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

using it for a dedicated steam game drive, it loads games fast .. is why i got it !!!

This made my laptop start faster than my gaming pc

I was on the market for the fastest m.2 I could get for sub $120 and this is definitely one of them. Has read and write speeds as advertised which is always great, no fake marketing. Coming from someone who had a 5 year old 7200rpm hard drive this makes a night and day difference I cant express enough how a ssd can transform your pc from acting old and slow to something of this era. 10/10 would recommend and the cloning software that you get for free is also great, it took a little while but once it was done all of my data from my old hard drive was on my new ssd.

Bought this to replace 3 Sata SSDs. Good news is, it fits perfectly in my mobo M.2 slot and windows runs wonderfully. Crystal mark data is better than my old drives...BUT... It runs barely faster than my old drives according to the bench test. I dont think that has anything to do with the card. MSI Z97 Gaming 7 mobo wasnt designed to take advantage of NVME so I can understand the slower than advertised speeds. I had a feeling it would be this way on my 6 year old rig. Luckily I have a new laptop this may go in or itll be perfect when I build my z490 build

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 got this NVMe drive for a budget PC build and it did not disappoint. Its super affordable for the capacity and is great as an OS drive and programs if you dont need to take advantage of PCIe 4.0 or 5.0 speeds as it its PCIe 3.0. That its super inexpensive (at the time of this review) and has DRAM cache is fantastic! Would absolutely buy again for another PC build.

I started using it. Works great

Samsung is no longer the only game in town... Or maybe they are. This thing probably uses Samsung chips. In any event, I dropped this in and cloned my 512GB Samsung 860 Pro over to it using Macrium Reflect. I extended the partition to use the whole 2TB. Then removed the Samsung and rebooted. It was like I never messed with it, except I now have 2TB of space instead of 1/4 of that. Beautiful. Being able to have and run everything from one main drive, and backup literally that one and only main drive has simplified things. And, reducing complexity in storage and backup is necessarily an increase in data security. The less there is to go wrong, the less that will go wrong. I am very happy with this.

I just spend couple of days installing this SSD. It took couple of days not because of this SSD but because I had to move stuff off the spinning metal. Working with SP SSD was a pleasure and easy. My motherboard required firmware update and a PCIe M.2 adapter to make this work as it is older board. But with the adapter at around $12. It was no big deal. Most CPU only support x16 PCIe lanes. This is a x4 PCIe card. On my board, it splits the PCIe into 2- x8 lanes. So my R9 290X loses x8 PCIe lanes. Based on other testers review, the lose isnt much. If you are not getting something not close to this, your hardware is the problem. Excellent SSD performance. Cant wait to get few more.

When I upgraded my computer, I never heard of this type of storage. Everything I read, suggest this m.2 PCIe driver is faster and last longer than the SSD device. This was my first time getting it. Only if my love life was the same. When I try to insert the device into the slot, I notice that I need a special screw. I looked for the screw that might fit under the roof, but nothing fit. The screw was too big and the hole was too small. What a love life. The package does not come with the special screw, so I have to order one. Finally I was able to screw it tightly. Yes, the speed it real and it have lasted more than 2 years and no doctor was called.
