This is a great fast drive

True, any drive can fail, but I've used dozens of SSD drives now in various computers, and this was the last I have purchased and the first to fail, and I see too many other negative reports of this brand here on Amazon and elsewhere

I chose this SSD because of the price and the fact that I have their 1TB Rugged Armor A30 Military Shockproof portable extrenal hard drive that I use quite a bit

Not the fastest ssd but far faster than the 5400rpm hard drive that came with my laptop

After 12 actual hours of use, the drive failed and I lost all files and my last intallable copy of Windows

I highly recommend this drive.

Excellent choice for fast SSD boot drive

I would buy another and recommend this drive to others.

I used this drive to replace a spinning HDD on an old ThinkPad and it's working out well

You can't expect to get the fastest speeds but if you are exchanging from a hard drive the speeds are insane

Drive has run for a day-solid, no issues

Good product pc working better now then with regular hard drive

this drive is awesome it has sped up my boot times

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 other is power consumption - it looks like this drive is using 2 more watts than the old one which translates to nearly half an hour of battery life.

Not as A boot drive/C. Invisible as a data drive on SATA or ATA with or without AHCI enabled in BIOS.I wish I could update the firmware at least because I have had a few BSOD using this sandforce controlled drive as boot drive in AMD 990fx board which had no problem running phison or marvell controllers

and I works better than the hard drive that came with the computer.

I would have to replace the boot drive and then this drive would start working again

Upgraded a dead drive in an older Dell and am pleased as punch with the results.

However, the drive lacks in presentation, and it loses a star because it isn't as fast as other solid state drives, it lacks complete and coherent documentation and user-friendly and functional management software, such as Samsung's Magician (which performs optimization, benchmarking, firmware updates, etc. in one program with no fuss).

Damn, these drives are fast, and incredibly affordable!!

I'm using Linux, which had no problems recognizing this drive.

Not DOACons: Not as fast as more expensive drives

It was a cheap drive and amazon was quick to refund my money, but I don't think I'll be buying Silicon Power again any time soon...

great drive no issues by motheboard recognizing it

Really, any SSD is probably a lot faster than any regular old hard drive so getting the most expensive top-notch wasn't my priority

I will NEVER buy another hard drive as long as I live

I bought a SP Sata III SOLID STATE DRIVE SLIM 555 from Amazon

It seems to perform just as well as my other SSD drives from Samsung and PKNY

Takeaway: If you know how to replace hard drives, this product is a cheaper solution to some of the more expensive name brands out there.

Excellent drive and very good value.

It serves its purpose but my old hard drive seemed just as fast.

Excellent drives

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

Using this SSD alone in Windows was better than the hard drive, but when I added the HDD for storage and moved the page file to it I noticed a dramatic speed improvement.

A very economical solid state drive, with great features

If you have an ASUS Vivobook, this hard drive is an amazing upgrade

This drive is not worth the risk.

I upgraded two ancient laptops and even though they weren't SATA III or even AHCI, they are now actually usable due to the excellent drive speeds compared to the old, 5,400-rpm spinning drives I replaced.

Works good, really sped up my laptop from the standard hard drive

At $.41 cents a GB, the price paid for the drive is simply ridiculous, cheaper than any comparable offer by at least $15, and is the prettiest drive I've bought (having had over 5 different SSD brands so far).Please keep the great

The drive was immediately recognized and worked as advertised.

As an IT professional, I highly recommend not purchasing this drive

I would recommend this product for any one looking to upgrade there hard drive.

Received the hard drive and it doesn't work, at all.

Great price for a great hard drive, you can definitely feel the difference from traditional HDD to SSD

Though the Samsung Pro is at a disadvantage due to the use over the past year and being filled near capacity, comparing test scores from my computer and reviews shows that the Silicon Power is on par with the top tier SSDs in the market - and was at a low price of only 50$.Recommended to anyone who needs an SSD for their laptop/desktop and guaranteed to boost your speed if upgrading from a mechanical hard drive

Great little hard drive, used to backup photos on w10 and Mac

UPDATE:5 Months later and this drive is still working with about 3,200 hours on it, and 16.5TiB of data written to it

Hard drives work but eventually

Great drives, specs out a little faster than the standard (Kingston) and prices a little less than the standard.

This is an amazing SSD drive for the price

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.

I had a laptop hard drive before this, maybe a 500GB 5400rpm HDD

Great SSD drive

candy.-The drive itself is actually very attractive with a black brushed metal finish, but it has an enormous sticker on it with yellow, red and blue that makes it look like a toy.

Even regular type hard drives do not have that much warranty, so it is really a NO-BRAINER to buy silicon power's hard drives

My overall impression is positive and I would recommend this drive to those looking for a low cost SSD, especially considering Prime shipping and no tax (your mileage may vary).

After a week this drive has been working great, and is VERY fast.

I tend to stick to Mushkin or Crucial for preference, but for a cheap fallback drive this will do nicely.

It may be my setup, but it did take several attempt to initialize the hard drive and perform the ghost image successfully

You can not beat the price for the features and specs of this speedy little drive

but when I put this hard drive into the laptop it was not recognized by the Bios

Very nice drive!

At first, you might not notice it, as the drive and OS can tolerate small failures, but over time it will eventually die.

The drive is constructed very well, no cheap plastic materials, metal encasing which should transfer heat when a little bit of air movement is applied to keep the drive cool and lasting long.

Noiseless, fast and great drive in comparison with regular HDD.However, the benchmark tests show that my SSD (bought at Amazon for attractive price of

Still, if you're upgrading from a disk hard drive, the difference will still be

It replaced a failing 320GB platter drive.

It installed as easy as any drive I've ever used, and it is quick to boot

The drive fails to respond connected internally or with an external sata enclosure

Modern SSD drives can take a lot of punishment, so endurance shouldn't generally be a big issue for most users, but because time shifting HD programming with my HTPC DVR setup can potentially generate hundreds of gigs of writes a day, I could run into problems if the SSD endurance isn't up to spec

Ran performance numbers and this drive is awesome and was getting a little better than the stated numbers

I chose this SSD because of the price and the fact that I have their 1TB Rugged Armor A30 Military Shockproof portable extrenal hard drive that I use quite a bit

I really like these drives.

This drive is junk, better stick to named brands for SSDs

I replaced the hard drive in my desktop with this drive.

I installed this in a two-year-old Dell Inspiron laptop, swapping out the older 5400 RPM hard drive for this new SSD and installing a new OS

6Gb/s Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Perfect hard drive.

The drive failed and became completely unresponsive.

, this is "just enough" but by no means you will see the 500MBs that slightly more expensive drive(5,10,15 bucks more) would do

/s for the remaining duration of the transfer, about half of what I can achieve by writing to a 7200RPM 3.5" hard drive

Not a bad drive for the price.

Look for sales, keep it cheap, and it is a perfect drive for an older box.

I don't know why it won't work in the laptops but works great as the boot drive

with old 5400 rpm hard drive.

ANY SSD is better than an old slow laptop drive

Great drive and delivered as promised.

I benchmarked the S70 240GB SSD and compared it at the same time to my Seagate 750GB SSHD (which is supposedly top-notch as far as hard drives go).The sequential read is almost 5x faster than my old HDDThe sequential write is more than 3x fasterAnd the random access times are where it really shines literally hundreds of times faster

Wonderful drive for the money.

These are usually smaller than the original hard drive and will need to be secured with as many screws as possible, especially in a laptop.

Great drive

This drive replaced a couple of 250GB hard drives in a RAID array on a computer that hosts my weather station

I did not expect these drives to perform as well as they have

The drive is quick, it does what it is supposed to, and it certainly beats out a hard drive for nearly everything especially application loading, but my complaint is mainly with the sustained sequential writes

Again love these drives.

So, the bottom line is that if you are looking for something that is truly faster than a hard drive in every way, don't get this drive

Still working properly for nearly two years, I recommend these as inexpensive boot drives

Wow...this drive is absolutely silent!

Today, my desktop has a 1TB hard drive that is still working fine, but TBH, when a 1.5GHz dual core netbook is more responsive than a 2.6GHz quad core desktop, I'm thinking I'll be happy to sacrifice

Do NOT use the software that comes free with the SSD, it has a very low success rate and corrupted my MBR of my hard drive.

Perfect hard drive.

really fast and love this drive
