Review on 💾 Silicon Power 1TB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen3x4 2280 QLC SSD - Lightning-Fast R/W Speeds of up to 3,400/1,900 MB/s (SP01KGBP34UD7005) by Dawn Jones

I've bought SP SATA drives before but 2020 was the first year I tried their NVME drives. The combination of drive and NVME controller is available in all price ranges. When I bought this drive I wanted an inexpensive NVME drive for a general purpose laptop and my search criterion was a drive that is 2-3x faster than SATA but not as expensive as the Samsung 970 Pro. This drive is for you. Here are the pros and cons: Pros: Cheap (less than $0.11/GB), Reliable (I've had 3 this year on different systems with no crashes) Cons: Less DRAM (not surprising at this price, your records will be a Take a beating, but it will still be about 3x faster when writing than a SATA SSD) Notable things: Has a Silicon Motion Controller. It is what it is. it works well. That's all they say. This is a budget engine. I'm looking for reliability at this price and better performance than SATA. both of these drives shipped for about 11 cents per gigabyte. Buy it.
