Review on ๐Ÿ’จ Silicon Power 2TB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen3x4 2280 TLC SSD - Ultra-fast speeds up to 3,400/3,000MB/s by Orlando Mohr

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good price, >3400MB/s read speed

I have a new Lenovo C930 Yoga 2-in-1 laptop. The laptop had a 256GB SSD. They wanted more for an upgrade to a 1TB SSD than the cost of this 2TB SSD. A few days after receiving my laptop, I connected this new SSD to a USB-C port with a USB adapter and cloned it with Macrium. I then replaced the system SSD with this one and it booted right up. As announced, the first CrystalDiskMark benchmark showed over 3400 MB/s, but only 850 MB/s when writing. Today, about 2 weeks later, I ran CrystalDiskMark again and got the same read speed but 2600MB/s write. Very satisfied. However, I will tell you that my last Yoga had a SATA SSD and Windows 10 feels the same with a 500MB/s SSD as it does with a 3400MB/s SSD - at least on the laptop. I think if you were copying files WITHIN the same drive you wouldn't notice it's faster, but Windows feels the same. I'm very happy with the 2TB capacity as my last Yoga had a 512GB SSD + 512GB MicroSD card in USB. And now I don't have to constantly stick something out of (and use) the USB port.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Useless features
