Review on Silicon Power Slim S55 120GB SATA SP120GBSS3S55S25 SSD by Micha Chmielewski ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I³'m satisfied with the product, it³'s well made and the price is also satisfying.

In general - a good working machine for inexperienced users, loading the OS on my not very powerful PC is about 18-20 seconds compared to 1 minute on the HDD WD Black 750 Gb (sata-2), the speed is also very pleasing, chrome is 2- Opens 3 times faster. I don’t do detailed testing and constant ating, so I can’t say the exact speeds now, but at the time of purchase, the max read / write speed was 515 \ 360 mb / s.

Pros
  • - bought 06202222 for 2500 - for that price it was not better for sure at that time - heaven and earth compared to a conventional HDD, the maximum speed in the tests I got was reading - 515 mb / s writing - 360 mb / s for large files. - there were no failures in a year - I got a Phison PS3108-S8 controller -Easily flashed immediately after purchase - OS loading 15-20 sec
Cons
  • - in speed somewhere it loses to other SSDs, tests show that it loses a lot on reading / writing random blocks, but you get what you pay for - you can’t track the current state of the SSD using SMART, it’s not clear what to expect from the disk -now this model is released with the SandForce SF-2281 controller, which, although it wins in speed with random read / write work, is inferior in overall speed and starts to slow down when the disk is full, so you get a lottery when buying
