Review on 💾 Silicon Power 512GB A55 M.2 SSD: Boost Your Speed with SLC Cache - SATA III Internal Solid State Drive 2280 by Seth Damain

Revainrating 4 out of 5

M.2 SATA III 1TB SSD is a good alternative to more expensive brands of well-known brands

I bought this SSD because I have an external dock that supports M+B key SSDs. The SSD comes unformatted (which is fine as it works in a variety of applications). Transfer speeds were exactly as advertised (SATA III speeds, not the much faster NVME speeds), but 300MB/s was fine for my purposes. The packaging was minimal, mainly a thin plastic shell. I would have liked a little more protection against buckling during shipping. If you're transporting the drive outside of the case, I would suggest buying something sturdier to protect it. All in all, the product works as advertised at a price below that of well-known branded competitors. (Partly significant amounts.) I haven't had time to test the product in the long term. If I see something important I'll add it.

Pros
  • Compact M.2 form factor, ideal for ultrabooks, tablets and mini PCs.
