Review on Silicon Power Performance Internal SP512GBSS3A55S25 by Isaac Samal

Although this SSD is on par with similar brands (SanDisk, Crucial, etc.) in terms of write and read speeds, an important difference is that it heats up a lot! I bought both 120GB (S55) and 512GB (A55) versions, one for the laptop and one for the desktop storage. Both clock in at 40 C when idling and then can climb to over 60 C with serious write/read. The other SSDs I have (one SanDisk, two Crucials, one Corsair) are about 10-15C cooler in any scenario. I have no idea how long two Silicon Power SSDs will last considering they are much hotter.
