Review on Silicon Power Performance Internal SP512GBSS3A55S25 by Robert Maysey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This little drive is amazing value for money. For 5 x 1GB diskmark run

I bought this for my wife's Lenovo laptop with an I7-6500U core with 8GB RAM and Windows 10. The value for money of this little ride is amazing. For a disk labeled 5 x 1GB, disk averages are 526 MB/s read and 452.9 MB/s write for seq Q32T1164 MB/s read and 121 MB/s write for 4K Q32T1440 MB/s read and 275 MB/s s writing for seq10.42 MB/s reading and 64.8 MB/s writing for 4K (definitely a bit lower here than the MX500, for example). pretty close to the advertised speeds. We all know they're always a little over the top. Compared to the Firecuda drive it replaced, which was a hybrid SSD, this thing is noticeably faster and loads Windows four times faster. Lightroom also opens at least four times faster. The 3 year guarantee guarantees this thing will last you a while, just make sure you register on their website. I will be buying a second one for my game CD very soon. Who would have thought that an unnamed brand (at least for me) would be such a pleasant purchase.

Pros
  • Constant test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
