About Silicon Power 256GB SSD 3D NAND A55 SLC Cache Performance Boost SATA III 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive
Overall Feedback:
75% positive
70% found it compatible with various systems, but 30% encountered compatibility issues
My old SSD worked without any issues when I put it in.
My internal solid-state drive has handled exceptionally well as a Steam drive while my OS and primary games are on the Samsung.
After a firmware update in Mojave, the SP drive worked for 20 minutes but then failed and my entire computer would not fire up.
I tried to install the utility software for my SSD from the website, but it did not work.

71% praised for its rugged durability, while 29% experienced hardware failure
I have used this SSD for 4 years without any failure, which is better than other brands.
My disk died in 4 months and is unable to initialize.
The drive worked fine for a few weeks but started showing SMART errors after backup jobs and eventually failed completely after a few more weeks.
This brand has a high failure rate and works great out of the box but fails mysteriously without warning in a few weeks/months.
70% praised for its lightning-fast read and write speeds, but 30% experienced slower performance
For general use, I find the SSD to be acceptably fast and have not noticed any issues while gaming. However, I cannot vouch for its speed compared to higher-end SSDs.
After working with Pro Tools for less than a week, my HDD writes and reads faster than the internal solid-state drive.
After using the product for a week with pro tools, I found that the hard drive writes and reads faster than this product. I am disappointed with its performance.
The SSD is still working well, but it's quite slow.

68% liked the generous storage capacity, but 32% found it too small
128GB is enough for Windows as important files can be stored on the 2TB HDD.
I lost almost 2TB of data and it was unrecoverable. This indicates that the capacity of the internal-solid-state-drives is not up to the mark.
I installed a 512GB SSD but it only registered 477GB. I am not satisfied with this.
After 40 days of use, my drive failed and showed only 1.8 TB of available storage, it could not be reformatted even though it initially showed 4 TB of storage.

64% appreciated its low power consumption, though 36% noticed higher energy usage
I have purchased at least 10 Silicon Power drives over a period of 2 years and all of them are still in service and working well.
The Samsung EVO 500GB SSD is only twice as expensive and 8 times faster than this drive.
The internal solid state drive did not work well with Mac mini, even though it was cheaper than the Samsung.
The SSD never completely fails. The blue screen of death gets worse over time, making it difficult to use the PC for more than 5-10 minutes.
64% appreciated the silent operation, though 36% noticed some noise
The drive was great until it stopped working.
My disk died in 4 months and it does not even show up in disk management, and I am unable to initialize it.
I regret not using the drives earlier as I could have returned them if I had started using them earlier.
