Reviews around value (4.82 of 5)

  • This drive is advertised to have 557 MBs Read and 507 MBs write speed, it's very fast and you get premium speed, design for less money, a great value
  • I chose Silicon Power because it was a good value compared to some of the premium names
  • Obviously at this price, you're not getting an NVMe SSD, but the value is otherwise pretty good for the few more years you can get out of any prebuilt PC when upgrading to a solid state drive.
  • Good value for money (at the time) decent speeds and quick delivery to Aus
  • great value for the priceI got nearly as fast read and write

  • AND it is a good value4 Stars: Works exactly as advertised, fit/finish are what you'd expect when purchasing this type of product, might have a minor flaw3 Stars
  • That's not to say I'm fine with a company changing a product's design to the point it impacts performance/longevity without changing the model number or advertised specs.

Reviews around quality (4.33 of 5)

  • Spend the money and get a decent quality drive from a different brand, even if it’s a used or refurbished one

Reviews around speed (4.17 of 5)

  • The speed of this thing is great and took an old laptop and made it feel new again
  • The picture attached is in SATA 2, please be sure to notice the saturated bandwidth (meaning it can go faster, but my computer is not capable of said speeds)These are in itself crazy writes speeds for such a small capacity disk, performing consistently even at half partition capacity, granted it is fairly new (3 months), but so far no hickups and my computer shows a boot time of 6 seconds
  • It doesn't have super speed, but it's a great PC speed-up if you have any kind of HDD.
  • You can't expect to get the fastest speeds but if you are exchanging from a hard drive the speeds are insane
  • This was installed on an older PC, a generic x58 system which doesn't even support Sata III speeds, but everything still worked out of the box.

Reviews around failure (2.54 of 5)

  • It wasn’t catastrophic failure or anything, but something was clearly wrong
  • A cold boot is as fast as if the PC was put on hibernate
  • I have been an IT consultant and technician for over 35 years and have seen all sorts of hard drive failures
  • I have built, along with two Western Digital 3tb Green Drives and an old 2tb Hitachi Deskstar I've had since high school, which surprisingly still works as if I had just bought it
  • The only problem is that there isn't a .vic file name that starts with 29582.Since the drive is reporting 582ABBF0 as its firmware number, I'm not too worried as that seems to match the firmware number in all of those files, and that's the most recent, and the only, f/w available today

Reviews around disk (1.65 of 5)

  • If you're in the need for a faster boot time than your old Hard Disk Drive and only have a limited budget, this is your drive
  • I decided to look at replacing the hard drive with an SSD (solid state disk) and then upgrade the memory from 4GB to 8GB if the performance increase wasn't sufficient
  • The difference between hard disk and solid state is unbelievable, and this is an affordable step up
  • Still, if you're upgrading from a disk hard drive, the difference will still be
  • Going to switch over all my disk hard drives to solid state.
