Good SSD
Upgraded my 2014 Mac mini to this 1tb SSD. I cloned the old drive in disk utility on the recovery mode of Mac OS. Then I shut down the Mac and tore everything apart and swapped the 5400 rpm drive out and this ssd in. Reassembled the Mac and booted just fine. My boot times went from a minute 56 seconds to 22 seconds.
I did a few speed tests before and after. This drive is SATA 3 so the bottle neck is the interface itself. The SSD saturates most of the bandwidth ( a good thing)
Definitely worth the price. If you want blazing speed you get a m.2 drive instead of sata. But you work with what you have.

Terrible Software
The SSD drive arrived quickly and in good shape.
I decided to purchase the drive because some reviews gave the drive and software
good reviews. I've used SP products in the past and have had no problems.
This time was different!
The software downloads, and installs fine. The GUI is clean and simple.
Then the trouble started, after hitting OK to start cloning.
The NEAT cloning software write a config file to the old hard drive.
and it re-writes the Master Boot Record. This is one of the critical
parts of you Win10 system. It must load and operate correctly.
It didn't ask for permission, or to make a bootable USB.
It just replaced the critical files with its own proprietary junk.
This is like poring gasoline on a wokken bridge, lighting it behind you
as you walk across. If it works, great! If not you have just destroyed your way back.
I called their customer support, got a hold of the very pleasant (albeit clueless) support person.
She said they only did support via email. Obviously a problem since my computer wouldn't boot.
After slowly type an e-mail on my phone, half a day later I got a hold of a customer support person.
The first email had a list of instructions that just didn't work (i.e command not found). The next e-mail
at least worked, but didn't fix the problem. After a grand total of two e-mails I heard nothing more from
the software support at NEAT.
If you decided to buy this drive, please use other software.
Acronis works very well, or Clonezilla. Of choose a different SSD supplier that uses
better software (like Samsung or Crucial)
Anything that does not have the potential destroy your hard drive while upgrading.
This should have been an easy 1 hour upgrade, instead it took three days.

SP 2.5" 1TB SSD as slow as HDDs when at half capacity
After thorough benchmarking, it turns out that when this drive is at 50% or more capacity, it does something no other SSD (WD Blue, Crucial MX500, Samsung) does. It causes hang ups in game loading as the drive "attempts" to access its data. Mind you, this is benchmarking testing that I do, not the typical end user install-uninstall-tons-of-random-apps-over-a-year kind of use. I download everything in one go so fragmentation is not, and never should be, a huge performance factor loss for SSDs. I kid you not, ONLY on this SSD do games take just as long to load from a WD 5200rpm HDD, or LONGER. When I did the same testing on Western Digital, Samsung and Crucial 1TB SATA SSDs, they had no issue loading games within seconds, often under 15-20 seconds. On this SP drive, however, games such as F1 2018 and BFV took over a minute to load into the game. To add insult to injury, quitting the session to return to main menus resulted in another 30+ seconds of loading, while all other brands load instantly into the menu. All system drivers and patches were identical on my test bench. The only difference was this SP SSD. I don't know what this company does to shave off $20 from competitors, but IT IS NOT WORTH IT for gaming. I am literally ordering a new SSD from Samsung because I refuse to allow this POS SSD tarnish a build for my next customer. Buyer beware, this SSD does not cut it.
FYI my test bench used for this Silicon Power 1TB SATA, WD Blue 1TB SATA, Crucial MX500 1TB SATA, and Samsung 860 1TB SATA:
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X stock
Gigabyte B450I ITX mobo
Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000 C15 (XMP enabled)
Corsair RM750X 80+gold
Asus Strix GTX 1080 stock

My first HDD to SDD surgery! Lots of time, but worth it!
I bought two of these to replace the hard disk drive (hhd) to improve my laptop and my daughters. And I also used it to replace the hard drive in my xbox one x. All for better performance, and to not have to buy an entirely new laptop or xbox. I bought a drive docking station to be able to keep accessing my old drives (Sabrent USB 3.0 to SATA I/II/III Dual Bay External Hard Drive Docking Station for 2.5 ) You just use the existing connections of the device you're replacing. Replacing the three devices was my first time and it took me 6 hours the first time and 2 hours the other times. I found YouTube videos and my laptop's troubleshooting manual on how to take it apart (lots of searching online for that one). I also made sure I downloaded a bootable Windows 10 on a USB drive. Neither laptop was listed under Windows for product keys so I guess it automatically recognized them. And I had my Microsoft Office 2013 already too (with key, though i didn't have to enter it). It was a fun project for my first time (I'm almost 50 years old woman), and it definitely was great for fresh install before online school started during COVID-19. Would I do it again? Yep. already have the magnetic tool for the screws and dry eraser to mark it, and all my little tiny screw drivers. Putting it all back together (reversing the instructions from YouTube) was the hardest part. But I now have three devices that will keep going for at least another 3 years without having to replace them.

2.5 SSD: Not a consistent read and write drive.
2.5" SSD drive:
It's not very consistent and will break in performance. You can clearly see this with gaming and video editing.
Gaming: the fps will fluctuate very low when loading new areas of the map. This is the result of the drive trying to read the new zones and let the video card produce the graphics.
Video editing: the timer on the editing goes up and down dramatically. It's not consistent and I've done nothing but watch the video recording in progress.
Samsung magician shows the benchmarks go up and down with read and write speeds.
File transfer shows the same issue when moving large files from nvme to ssd.
NVME SSD:
It's the perfect drive out there. I ditched my old 960 Evo 256gb for this. It boots faster. Transfer files faster. Edit videos faster. Literally everything faster (including breaking down faster than the 960 Evo).
Why it breaks down faster? TLC have a much shorter lifespan than MLC. However, that time it takes to use up all the read and write on the SSD would be in the years. By then, a newer technology will arrive.

Very poor customer support.
Drive does seem to work fine, but had initial problems with their clone software and getting it to work. Sent numerous emails to them and never received any response outside of automated emails. Gave up and used clonezilla which worked flawlessly. If you don't need to clone a drive, the drive alone seems good. Not sure on life expectancy yet, but don't ever expect a response from their technical support staff. Skip their clone software and just use clonezilla if you need to clone a drive. Next time I will pay a few more bucks and just buy a name brand with a known reputation.

You want this
I resisted SSDs for a really long time because the cost per GB just seemed out of whack to me. I was wrong. So very wrong. Granted the prices have come way down but I should have switched earlier. Load times disappear. Boot times go from minutes to seconds. Yes they are still expensive compared to spinning rust drives are are not a good solution for archiving huge amounts of data but for your active drive you want this.
This drive went into a PS4 as a replacement for the stock 500GB HD. Not only did it double the capacity everything got faster. Oh and it took 5 minutes start to finish. Seriously, if you have a console (PlayStation/XBox), do yourself a favor and get an SSD.

CRAP!
I've installed over 200 SSDs at this point and this is the worst one I've come across. I cloned a smaller Crucial SSD to this 1TB Silicon Power SSD and when I picked it up it was extremely hot which was odd in my opinion but just figured it was because I moved 200gb to it but had never felt it with any other drive. Anyways, the client calls me within 30 minutes of being home complaining that the screen went black and wouldn't respond. He reboots and is able to work about for another 5-10 minutes and it shuts off the computer. Well, long story short I told him it had to be the drive and that it must be overheating. In my opinion after reading other reviews on these silicon power drives you'd be must better off getting crucial, or Samsung, or western digital, just anything other than this brand unless you don't care about your data for the few dollars difference that you may save.

NOT RELIABLE, CUSTOMER SERVICE DOES NOT RESPOND
I purchased this SSD about 5 months ago, worked great for the first few months, then it just crapped out, I used it for video recording and it kept on skipping and disconnecting. This happened in the middle of a client shoot. VERY UNRELIABLE!! I contacted customer service and they have a chat feature on the page that responds automatically in chinese characters, nobody responded to the chat, I opened a service request, nobody responded. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT, spend a few more dollars and go with a known company

Not a reliable drive for primary use
I have four of these drives and a sister-in-law who also owns one that I bought her for Christmas. Three of the five drives have disappeared from the system at various times, resulting in blue screen crashes in Windows 10 x64. Running a disk check with the repair option fixed the problems, but I do not fully trust the drives given the rate of disappearance from the systems.
The other two drives I use through external enclosures as backup drives. I would not trust these drives for primary installations of an operating system. It is safer to use them sparingly to back up data that is not changed much, e.g. for music, videos, etc. storage that is read more than written. The value for the money is really not worth it. I recommend people do research to find the most durable/reliable SSDs for installing an operating system or for other heavy use.

Worth the Upgrade
I'm reluctant to give up on my Alienware Alpha (R1) HTPC and decided to sink in a number of upgrades to give it new life. I initially replaced the Alpha's mechanical hard drive years ago with a solid-state hybrid drives because SSDs at the time were outrageous in cost. That drive served for a time, but the boot time seemed like forever when compared to my other devices. The price point on this SSD with size and specs is what won me over on this one. When it arrived, I laughed out loud at the size and weight of it. It felt like a 3D printed copy of my old mechanical drive. However, took a perfect clone of the old SSHD. My Alpha's boot time went from minutes to seconds. So worth it...

Gracefully bad out of the box
I used the SP SSD to upgrade an Apple Mini from a mechanical drive to solid state. Predictably it made a huge positive difference in performance. However, my Mac started crashing maybe once a week and restarting in the Recovery Console. I was not convinced that it was the drive's fault since something could have gone wrong during the drive cloning process. So I lived with the problem while trying various things such as OS reinstall, drive diagnostics etc. Since the problem was sporadic it was difficult to debug -- change something and wait a week for it to crash again. Nothing helped.
At least whenever the drive came back up I never had a problem rebooting and the drive never was corrupted or lost any data. Which is the reason why I call it a "graceful fail out of the box."
Finally I decided to get a new drive (Samsung EVO) and replaced the SP drive. At that point I was not certain that the problem was the SP drive's fault as it could have been a bad motherboard as well. But after a successful drive swap I placed the old SP drive in a USB cradle on the same machine to monitor it. And, yes, after 5 days the MAC suddenly complained that I had removed the SP drive without first ejecting it. It had simply vanished on its own volition from both Finder and the Mac's drive utility. It only re-appeared after power cycling the drive.
My experience doesn't mean that all SP drives are bad but I have dealt with maybe a dozen SSDs and this was my first bad experience with one.

perfect upgrade
Headline says it all... I have purchased a bunch of these in different capacities. I originally went with SP because it was less expensive than the alternatives - now I just really like them (it does help that they are still cheap)! Have not had any issues with any of them yet but I do still have a couple in package. Its not a Samsung when it comes to speed, but its more than adequate (aka its awesome) for everything I do. I do light gaming, audio editing, and a whole lot of internet browsing/online shopping... so I am like most people. have not installed the 1TB yet, but I bet it works like the rest :)

My 8 year old Samsung 840 Pro is quicker!
First off: Ordered July 4th, 2020 and it didn’t reach my door until July 13th, 2020. Absolutely unreal and missed my Prime delivery date by 4 days (Thursday, July 9th).
Secondly, upon receiving my package, I noticed the SSD was placed inside a large envelope with no protection whatsoever, which allowed it to move all over the place. It didn’t end there. As I pulled it out of the ridiculous envelope, I noticed it was ripped and partially exposed. Doesn’t look used so I guess that’s a good sign.
And lastly, I did some benchmarking and the results are absolutely underwhelming. Even my 8 year old Samsung 840 Pro blows this thing out of the water. Only thing installed on the Silicon Power SSD is ARK Survival Evolved. Tried installing the websites programs, but the Sandbox isn’t reliable at all, and there was no firmware update. The price was exceptional at $93 when I bought it, and it’s even cheaper now. However, it’s slower than every other drive of mine, and they are all much older. I give this drive a Meh at best.

Provide cloning software without stupid activation codes
What is wrong with these companies. I downloaded the cloning software from the silicon power website. It reverts to the NTI Echo Software download which requires a serial number to be installed. The rediculous thing is that none of the numbers printed on the drive including the "Verification code" work with that software. The work around is to get a trial copy from some other software company to do the job. But keep in mind, one only needs to clone a drive one time, so why do I have to go through that trouble to use a work around. Silicon Power should provide a cloning software just like Samsung does workout those "Serial number" gimmicks. Take a look management to fix this issue.....

I was at the point of throwing out my laptop, an HP ProBook 450 i7 dual core, 8GB RAM, 750gb HDD with Win 10 installed. Always freezing up, takes 10 minutes or more to boot, rebuilt twice within one month. Very frustrating... I wanted to buy a Macbook instead. At the last minute I decided to replace HDD with this Silicon Power 1TB SSD. So far, I am very impressed. Now my computer performs at top speed and boots up in less than 10 seconds, I use extra time saved to text my girlfriend, ha ha.

Worked as expected. 4 star on Longevity because it works, but I just have 2 days with it
I bench marked it under Windows and Linux and I got 10-15x on some tests, but over 50x on random read v SSHD. I'll give it a 5 on longevity after I've run the two drives for several months with no issues. Benchmarks on Linux,
The default is 100 samples of 10 MiB for transfer and 1000 for access time.
nvme0n1p1 Tave=0.03ms, Rave=3.3 GB/s with a few dips in the graph, but otherwise flat at the top 3.45 GB/s
sdb Tave=14.68ms, Rave=158.0 MB/s with linear drop from 216 MB/s to 96 MB/s
sda Tave=15.60ms, Rave=133.9 MB/s with linear drop from 171 MB/s to 80 MB/s
sda Tave=0.04ms, Rave=562.9 MB/s - linear with 25 MB/s ramp up in the start 1%. [New SPCC 1 TB SSD on 5/24]
Where Tave is Average Access Time and Rave is Average Read Rate in the above table and the first column is the drive device name. Linear observation based on graph from Linux Disks GUI. The SP is the last one above and the SSHD is the sdb. the SP did much better under Windows because that benchmark read 1GB files which overwhelmed the SSHD cache and the random access thrashed the drive heads.

Silicon Power's Ace A55 SSD is a contender.
I needed a new SSD with which to install Windows 10 Pro and I was looking for a good price on a sizable volume SSD and I decided to give Silicon Power a try. I was not disappointed, SSD's as a whole are smaller than I expected them to be, but the speed in read and write operations is unrivaled. The Silicon Power Ace A55 uses SLC (single cell layer cache) which is the top tier of the SSD cache set (SLC <-> MLC <-> TLC <-> QLC), so I knew this SSD would be quick. I will continue to use the Silicon Power A55 and report any issues that may arise.
Also, when you do install your SSD look around online, and find the various guides to optimize your SSD for longevity.

Amazing value for necessary SSD storage
For 1 TB of storage for a measly $95, it is quite hard to find another product for this value. I have 2 of these bad bois in my current build and it's wonderful.
Boot times are nearly non-existent, loading into games is extremely short and sweet. Coming from HDD, this product will blow your mind.
There are other big hitters in the market like Western Digital and Samsung, but they are all the more pricey. After reading reviews on the quality and value of the product, I chose 1 for beginning my build and quickly purchased another for another TB of storage.
You won't get RGB lighting or other fancy features with this SSD, but you will get a great drive for a great price, period.

SP 1T SSD vs HP HGST 1T SATA HD
My HP laptop came with a HP HGST 1T 5400 rpm hard drive. The transfer rate of this HP hard drive is labeled with 6 G/s. It is pretty fast. I thought about to upgrade this HP laptop with a SSD drive few years ago. Due to the price was high I didn't upgrade the hard drive. Recently saw this SP 1T SSD with 3D NAND and fast cache under $94. I give it a try, and it came today. Drop it into my HP laptop and it does not wait a moment and it loaded a Windows 10 with my recover USB thumb drive in few minutes. Fast, quiet, and happy about it. Everything runs faster on my laptop, downloading, internet, Windows 10 Operating System, MS Office, pdf, video, jpg...etc. What else do you need and why should I wait?

1 TB SSD for a great price
I have probably bought all the major brands of SSDs, and for everyday use, these from Silicon Power have performed flawlessly. The price is better than the competition and the drives perform as expected. I haven't had one fail yet in several years of use. I edit video using these as the source and destination drives for the files. No issues or problems and the writes are very quick. The reads are almost instantaneous compared to the spinning disks I used to use. If you are trying to extend the life of an older laptop - I recommend them for the job. We have two laptops each over 6 years old that are still going strong with these Silicon Power drives.

I do large BIM and 3D CAD Drawings, and software is always having a trip up about something, so I Auto Save my work efforts every 3 minutes, this drive is so fast, I never know it is happening. Retrieving a large file (18-20 Mb) takes no time at all. Now that I have tried it, I wish that I had bought the 2 or 3 Tb unit !

Easy to install. So far so good. Still the best price for a somewhat name brand SSD. Using it as my Steam game library drive as my Samsung 960 Evo M.2 500 GB boot drive was filling up fast. For things like games, they do not really seem to take advantage of the faster NVME M.2 and I cant notice any difference in loading times.
*** Update 2/13/19 I have been using the 1 TB version since I purchased it in June 2018. It is not my boot drive as I have a Samsung 960 EVO 500GB NVME for OS and quick boots. I have been using this as my Steam drive and it has so far worked flawlessly. The price is fair and it is more than fast enough for my games. It is about 75% full now and am considering a second one. 2TB drives are still a little too pricey for me. Since my case has room for up to 5 SSD's I may get another. I am surprised at the poor reviews since most drives in this price range (exept Samsung) most likely use Micron 3d TLC and a Silicon Motion SM2258XT (or similar) controller. These are pretty standard components used in a reasonably priced SSD. What I'm saying is like most SSD's Silicon Power doesn't even make the most important parts. I guess it's always possible to get a lemon, but I would assume most of the bad reviews are more likely due to user/installer error. Also some of the slow reported speeds are likely due to people mirroring their old spinning drive to this and not understanding that they are mirroring a Windows setup not optimized for a SSD but for a old fashioned HD. If they do t understand this they would be better off spending a little extra time and doing a fresh Windows install. I wouldn't select this drive if your doing a ton of writing and re-writing as this drive will slow down when writing huge files, but is way faster than Steam download speeds. I use it for downloading my games and just leave then there. The read speeds are pretty much as fast as a SATA drive can do which is what I wanted. I hope this helped those considering it and should I encounter any issues I will update again, but so far so good.

Lots of block address retired
Been getting lots "The IO operation at logical block address 0x??????? for Disk ? (PDO name: \Device\000000??) was retried" warnings in computers using these as the Windows "C: " (OS System) drive. Will replace them soon with other other brands that only cost a little bit more but have never shown these error.
All laptops and desktops have the current, correct BIOS/UEFI, with SMART drive enable. These disk errors have nothing to with the computer. Disk moved around between 5 computers and the warning errors on show for these specific brand of SSD. Other brands of SSD and HDD (7200 rpm) all work fine in 50+ computers.

Hit or miss, you get what you pay for
SP has been hit or miss for me. I've bought a few of these SSDs of various sizes. I had one outright die on me after approximately a year. The one I have now keeps losing space, I guess it's trimming? But it's closing in on 200GB on a 1TB drive that I can't access.
It was nice at the time to save $10 or $15 or whatever at the time, but going forward I'm going to be looking for a more prominent brand that's more reliable. I can't outright say Silicon Power is bad or you should not buy it, but my personal feeling is this is definitely a case of you get what you pay for.

What the hell, it mounts upside down!
Just built a gaming rig and bought this for less intensive game storage alongside a different brand NVMe. This SP SSD mounts upside down! Totally kills the aesthetic of the design (through tempered glass). Not sure who’s idea that was but they should definitely reconsider.
Load And write times are pretty fast. Coming from someone who has had nothing but 5400/7200rpm HDDs throughout the years, this definitely is an SSD and I don’t doubt that there are faster ones available, but this one is fast enough and was worth the price other that the strange design.

Great upgrade to increase laptop speed
I heard that upgrading from standard HDD to SDD would give you a good performance boost. Wow! I have now upgraded 4 laptops for my home and business and can't believe how much faster these drives make your overall computer use experience. My personal Dell laptop went from a 8 min 47 sec boot time to opening Microsoft Outlook to less than 58 seconds. I'm not kidding. Task manager used to show my disk usage at 100% for long periods of time. Not any more. I used to dread the messages that I needed to reboot to install new updates because I would have to reboot and walk away for a half hour for everything to settle down. Now I don't even mind. If you have a standard HDD, don't fuss with memory or try to tweak your operating software - upgrade to a SDD.

Great SSD so far! Perfect for budget builds.
Got this for my gaming pc that I bought off a friend. He used his old drive, so I had to get a new one and install it in the old build he sold me. Decided to go with all SSD because for 1TB, the price of this wasn’t bad at all. Boots super fast and was recognized by the motherboard, etc right away. No problems installing windows to it. Drive speeds are fast and I haven’t noticed any slow down of anything due to the drive itself. It doesn’t have the absolute highest speeds for sata SSD, but for this price, the speeds are great! I’ve been using it for about 2 weeks so far, so I can’t say anything on the longevity of it, but I’ll update if anything changes. Doesn’t seem to get too hot or anything either. I was originally looking at a Samsung EVO 860 at first because of how reliable and good reputation Samsung has and I was a bit worried to get such a smaller named SSD, but so far, I really don’t have any complaints. And this was at least $50-60 cheaper than the Samsung one.

Mine crashed after 2 months
I bought it for my son for Christmas to use with his Xbox. He unplugged it to travel to a friend's house but when he turned it back on, it was corrupted. I called customer support and followed their directions. They were very helpful, but finally decided that it needed to be replaced. The return process was fairly easy and we got a new product within a couple weeks.

Best Bang For Your Buck
If you're looking to upgrade your old standard Hard Disk Drive to a Solid State Drive, especially if you're looking to dramatically improve the speed of your computer / laptop, then this is a very good entry into faster storage. The performance is more than satisfactory and anyone who has never used a Solid State device in the past will be blown away. For the price, I can highly recommend this SSD to anyone, but again, especially to those skeptical of the usefulness of these drives.

Working Well
I purchased 2 of these and they are working well as my cache drives in my unraid server. The only complaint I have is that it seems they don't have a real temperature readout. Like someone else said in the comments, both of my drives constantly say they are at 104 F. I had them in a room where all other discs were reporting in the 70's F and these discs weren't even in active read or write and were still reporting 104 F. Even when working the disks with large data transfers the temperature never changes. Not a huge deal, but I do find it odd that they would have a fake temperature readout. Took 1 star off just because of the false temperature reporting.

write speeds in the 460MB/s range over usb 3.0
Notes:
-Build and finish:
7mm thick plastic body, which cuts cost (bought 1TB for under $90USD) but might not dissipate heat too well.
brass metal threaded inserts for mounting screws
-packaging: similar to other SP products.
double layer thick paper with plastic
Speed: only tested in USB 3.0 for file transfers
write speeds in the 460MB/s range over usb 3.0
Performance:
USED IN XBOX ONE X
Red Dead Redemption 2 loads in under one minute.
Capacity: With Microsoft's File system and Partitions...User Data ends up to be the same ~780.4GB useable on the ONE X.

Now PC startup is within 15sec and Read & Write average in 530mgb sec, and changing to another Program, is at least twice as fast..

Great SSD, usually.
I warn you now, that this is a negative review of sorts. I purchase a lot of silicon power SSD's. By a lot, I mean I have purchased over 40 in the last 2 years. I have never had one fail on me yet, until now. I purchase mostly the 256gb models, a few 512gb's, and far fewer of the 1tb models. Of all of them, that I have purchased, only the 1tb model has ever failed me. It was in fact a great drive, for quite nearly, exactly one year. I purchased this SSD (1 TB model), on September 8th, 2018, and it was installed on September 12th, 2018. It ran fine until September 1, 2019. At which point, it began doing weird things.
It first showed it's failure, by causing me kernel errors in windows. Running a quick look at it in SP Toolbox, showed drive Life, at 99%, so I believed all was well with the SSD. It also, threw no SMART errors. However, nothing would permanently delete from the drive and no programs would uninstall. I could install programs, or add data, but remove nothing. That is to say, I could do so, if Windows 10 didn't throw a Kernel error, before I finished an installation. I thought maybe a virus or spyware was causing it, so I tried to run a few tools I use regularly in my I.T. business. None of them could complete a scan, before a Kernel error crashed Windows. So, I then tried to use SFC, outside of Windows, to check system files. It told me the drive was locked. So, next I decided to clone the SSD to a spare 1 TB 2.5" SATA, that I had lying around from one of my many SSD upgrades I do. The drive cloned flawlessly, from outside of Windows, using HD Clone 6, and the system booted right up off the new drive. No more kernel errors, no problems at all, except for it being a much slower drive.
Anyway, I guess I have run into the problem of certain SSD's, where the drive becomes Read Only, which is what appears to have happened this SSD.. I ran SP Toolbox again, this time with wear out count, and it showed bad blocks, that it recognized. 132 new bad blocks, with 11436 to spare. Bad blocks, are much like bad sectors on an HD. All drives end up with some bad blocks, that the OS then prevents from use, but can also be an indicator of immanent drive failure, depending on the count. But in running a quick test, it came up with a message, ERROR BLOCK FOUND: 1546.
Anyway guess I will RMA the SSD. Sorry to be so long winded, but, I thought any potential purchasers might like to know, that this particular drive, the 1 TB model, is the only one I've had trouble with. I will let you know in a follow up, if SP is bad at supporting an RMA, since I've never needed to RMA one of their drives. If they are good, no follow up needed. I've included some pics of the diagnostics for those who care,

Installed this in my computer was super happy at first. Within about a month I started getting a blue screen of death with an error code that comes up with a failure in the hard drive.
Looking at other reviews this brand sucks lasting very long, wish I would have taken those reviews into stronger account before I purchased this drive

FireWire compatibility
I purchased a Silicon Power A55 SSD (1TB). I'm temporarily using the A55 to boot a 2015 MacBook Pro. The A55 boots up the MacBook Pro when connected via a USB to SATA connection, but the behavior is different when using a FireWire cable to SATA connection. Via FireWire to SATA cable, the Mac boots part way up, but then a circle with a slash appears across the screen. I filed a support ticket with Silicon Power and am waiting to hear back. Until then, I'm holding with 3 stars unless SP's support staff can resolve this situation.

Hands down the best value.
I bought it pretty certain it was going to be good. From my research, it uses Samsung parts, can't verify that. Given its performance I'd say that is an accurate statement. I get close to 350MB reads, and 300MB writes. It makes the boot times on my computer from the power button push to useable boot (including steam loading, and other boot programs.) like ten to twenty seconds. I love it.
If there is a 2 TB version I'd upgrade to it.

Made my PC 2x Faster
My current PC has a high spec for gaming and outputs a lot of power. This in turn made my boot up from my hard drive very slow and application boot up laggy and slow.
I used Macrium Reflect to transfer over all my HDD data to my new SSD and after about 7 hours, all my data was copied over. I then booted with the BIOS and set the SSD as the primary boot up option. Right after that, my PC restarted and opened up to the windows lock screen page about twice as fast. There was no lag when inputting my pin and my desktop loaded instantly after. Immediately after, I am able to load google or any other application and it loads in just a few seconds, RIGHT AFTER A FRESH BOOT UP. WOW.
This SSD has dramatically increased the speed of my PC and is definitely the best computer part investment I've made. For $85, I was able to drastically increase the boot up of my pc, applications, and browsing in general. Oh, also I have an extra TB of space too which is very nice. Excellent product with simple installation.

Surprisingly this item has a plastic hardcase, very light weight, it is easy to install as primary or just for storage, systems recognize inmediatly. In performace speaking, it has the specs posted here, is really fast and show improvements on every process you work on it like most of recognize brands ssd's. I would recommend this item based on performance, first time testing this brand, about to find out durabilty. Btw my temps are 40c idle even though i have a dedicated fan in front of my case, under load for some reason remains the same. Hope this help users like me using this brand for the first time.

Exactly what I was looking for at a price better than I expected
Keeping in mind most ratings are personal opinion and unless stated otherwise, they are not benchmark comparisons; my review is no different. It may not be stellar speed compared to higher-end SSD drives but adding a 1TB SSD storage drive (not boot) for under $100 is amazing, I couldn’t be happier with the purchase! I’m moving my gaming files to this drive and I have not noticed any performance differences from my EVO SSDs, great value!!!

I'm using this in a windows 10 pc for media files (ProRez 422HQ, CineForm, DNxHD, h264 mp4). It worked well for 5k, 4k, UHD and HD 1080p media at half rez viewing, without rendering, in Adobe Premiere. I can't speak for the longevity of the product, but I've had other well known brand SSD drives fail in the first few days to weeks. So far zero issues.

This SSD turned an old Dell Optiplex 3010 in a fast booting, usable desktop in 2020. I am only a few days into the upgrade (from a mechanical HDD); so, only time will tell if the SSD will last. The warranty set-up was fast an easy: I wet to their web site, they ask for two codes on the package, the product name, your email, and it will cover you for "three years (as they claim). IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG, I'LL UPDATE MY REVIEW. Thank you for reading!

I bought the 1TB SP SSD after checking reviews and watching prices for couple months. Decided on the SP brand mainly due to price. Installed end of June. Paid $180. Used Acronis to clone old 2TB mechanical drive to new 1TB SP and been working great for 2 months now. System boots faster and very happy with performance. Ended up deleting the old OS off the 2TB drive and only use it for videos, and user files.

This drive is the king of slow writes ... effective write speed has a record value of about 10MB/s, this means that you need to wait about 3+ hours co copy 100GB of data. In my test, this is about 6 times slower than an equivalent Samsung or WD SSD which claim 500MB/s but effectively do 60 MB/s.

Great hard drive but difficult software
The hard drive itself was great. Easy installation. I purchased this hard drive because it came with partitioning software however, it was difficult figuring out how to get the software downloaded and installed from the website. Even after finally figuring out where to download it, the software itself would crash during the cloning of my previous drive. I ended up buying a different software suite. The only reason for four stars is because the software it comes with does not work correctly. Other than, excellent hard drive and great value for the money.
