I have bought many of these. Never have they disappointed. They work perfectly to bring a new breath of fresh air to old laptops. Boot time increases. Thé storage is perfect for my needs.

Tossed this into a laptop that was given to me to replace the 1tb mechanical drive that was inside. Noticeable improvement to boot time and system speed. Are there faster options, yes. Does it outperformed astandard disk drive, yes. Good option for a good price and comes with a respectable warranty.

I ordered the 2 pack because I needed to upgrade 2 separate operating systems that needed the extra 512gb storage. The boot time on these bad boys are good as any other SSD on the market with straight forward installation. This ssd will be compatible with almost any motherboard out there that accepts SATA. Haven't had a single problem with any system freezes and such, it's just a reliable hard drive at a affordable price. Bonus points because the design matches the color of my PCs

The SP 512GB SSD A55 has been a fantastic upgrade to my system! With 3D NAND technology and SLC cache performance boost, this SSD has significantly improved my computer's boot times and overall responsiveness. Programs load quickly, and file transfers are super fast compared to my old hard drive.Installation was easy—thanks to the SATA III 2.5" format, it fit perfectly into my laptop without any issues. The 7mm slim profile is a nice bonus for compatibility with thinner laptops. Plus, with 512GB of storage, there's plenty of space for my OS, applications, and a good chunk of games or media files.For the price, the performance is top-notch, making this SSD an excellent value. Whether you're upgrading an old system or looking for additional storage, I highly recommend the SP A55 SSD. It’s reliable, fast, and gives a noticeable boost in performance!

A friend gave me his old laptop with no hard drive. So, I ordered the Silicon Power A55 256gb SSD from Amazon for under $20. It installed in the old hard 2.5 inch hard drive slot no problem. I installed Linux Mint and it's been working great for over a month with no issues. Note, this drive doesn't come with a partition table, so I had to create a GPT partiton table during the installation process. I don't know what the read/write benchmark speeds are, but it seems plenty fast enough. I've used lots of other SSD's from Western Digital, Samsung, Intel, Mushkin, KingDian, OCZ and others, and this drive seems as good as the rest. For under $20, it was the best bang for the buck for a 256gb SSD.

SSD Silicon Power 4TB A55 has been working good for 1 year. There were no warnings, it's just that the disk suddenly stopped being detected by both Windows 10 and the motherboard when the PC was turned on again. A lot of invaluable information is missing, orders are on fire and I'm losing my projects, incomes and clients...In 2022, I already experienced a similar situation when I bought a WD Blue 4TB hard drive on Amazon, which stopped working after a couple of months. It was a very heavy blow, but at that time Amazon at least gave a return number and returned the funds. But now there is no way to contact Amazon support. The system only refers the buyer to the manufacturer. In other words, Amazon does not bear any responsibility for the product sold, which is out of order and has led to material and moral damage.At the same time, Silicon Power has representative offices in the Netherlands and Germany, but my attempt to get adequate support only led to the fact that I have to send this disk to Taiwan, and at my own expense!.. I'm sorry, I ordered and bought it in the Netherlands, and I gave intermediaries the opportunity to make money. I did not order it from Taiwan via AliExpress. Therefore, I consider such an attitude towards clients to be absolute rudeness and fraud, which are extremely far from the prosperity and civilization proclaimed in the so called West (allegedly compared to Russia, incl. Ukraine).I believe that next time I will buy a Samsung disc, and in some real mall with media products. The price will be higher, but otherwise there are only winnings and advantages.--- Updated.I'd like to add that I was able to contact Amazon after all and the money was returned without any problems. Thanks for that, too, dear Amazon!))The only point is that a refund in the same amount was relevant before the onset of severe inflation.For example, in Russia there is a law according to which a refund is carried out in the amount of the current price of the product.In this case, I bought this SSD on 19 Nov 2023 for 174 euros, now, in January 2025, it costs 218 euros. But I get a refund of the same 174 euros. I guess, It's still pretty unfair.

Pros:-Cheap for a 4TB SSD-Temps never went above 55C even in torture test (1.8 TB Data transfer with different types of files)-Works well for a Steam Drive (older/less demanding titles) with good load times (more in "Other" section).-Also good for general use except for what I'll be covering in the con section.-Better than having a mechanical hard drive.Cons:-No DRAM so this drive Failed the "large constant speed transfer test". it stayed at top speeds until it hit 1TB out of 1.86TB of constant data transferring. Once it passed the 1TB mark the speeds dropped down to 90MBps Average for the remainder of the test. Once the test was over with, and the SSD was left to rest a bit (a few minutes) I was able to regain it's original speed for short burst (under 1GB file size) downloading 10 Minutes to go and do another 1.1TB transfer round (to make sure it was not a fluke) with it repeating at the same 1TB mark. So without any DRAM it's best for small burst file transfers or installing a game, etc.. So this drive is not good as a Emergency Backup Drive, or if you need to save files that are not larger than 25% of your overall SSD capacity (like 4K video production work). If that is what your looking for in a SSD then get a SSD with DRAM.Other:As for gaming a majority of games will work very well with zero issues though you'll maybe have a 3 to 10 extra seconds of initial load times compared to a NVME SSD, but it'll still beats a 1-3 Minutes initial load time of a 7200RPM mechanical hard drive. There are some new titles (Ratchet & Clank for example) that will need a NVME SSD instead of a SATA3 SSD, but for the rest this SSD can really handle them with no problem, and for someone that may be on a tight budget this SSD is a good deal for someone that needs speed & capacity, but it still needs to be budget friendly.

4 TB als SSD kommt preislich in einen Bereich, in dem man auch 4 TB NAS Festplatten kriegt. Diese sind aber gemessen an der Kapazität vollkommen überteuert, tlw sogar teurer wie die WD Red Pro.Was ist also naheliegender wie vier SSDs in ein NAS zu stecken und ein RAID zu machen? Rapid Array of Inexpensive Disks heißt die Abkürzung... schnelles Array aus billigen Festplatten.Ich hab sie derzeit in einem Server verbaut, der leider nur SATA 3G kann, aber die Datenübertragunsraten waren gut, entweder bis an die technsichen Limits, bis auf die 4K Random Benchmarks. Den vernachlässige ich aber, da moderne Betriebsysteme wie auch NAS Geräte die Daten so organisieren, daß sie fortlaufend gelesen werden können. Das Zugriffsmuster 4K Random wird also eher selten auftreten.Ich hatte mal ein NVME von Fanxing - das gemeinerweise mit einem DRAM Cache ausgestattet war und wenn der voll war gings schon beim linearen SChreiben mit 5-20 MB/Sekunde weiter. Vollkommen inakeztabel, aber die Silicon Power SSD zeigt auch im halbvollen Zustand noch gute Leistungsdaten, 120-150 MB/Sekunde. Ich werde mir noch drei davon kaufen und in eine Synology DS414 einbauen. Berichten anderer Silicon Power Käufer zufolge geht das.
