Silicon Power M.2 2280 SATA 1TB SSD. Installed in Dell Inspiron 3470 Small Form Factor Desktop built in 2019. Biggest issue was determining what SSD card to get. NVMe will not work in this machine, and most offerings for a 1TB card are NVMe, so I settled on the SP brand. I needed to match the existing 1TB HDD to be able to clone without partitioning, then use the SSD as a Boot Drive and the HDD as a backup drive. Within 2 hours after UPS delivered it, I was up and running without any problems. I used Macrium Reflect 7 (Home Edition that I purchased during the Black Friday sale) to clone the SSD from the HDD, about 30 minutes. Watched a YouTube video for instructions to change the designation from E to C drive and rebooted and everything worked as hoped and wow, what a difference. Downloaded DiskMark 64 to test the read/write speed and got the following results. HDD Read (MB/s) 184.76 Write (MB/s) 171.61 (Top line results) SSD Read (MB/s) 552.85 Write (MB/s) 439.23 (Top line results) This is my 3rd upgrade from HDD to SSD as boot and retaining HDD as backup. One Windows HDD to 2.5 inch SSD, one Apple MacBook Pro from HDD to SSD (replaced HDD) and this one. All are well worth the effort and expense. All my parts are from Amazon, no issues just ordered the mounts with the 2.5 inch and didn't need anything for the M.2 slot. Since I wanted to retain the old HDD, I didn't have the option to just add a 2.5 inch SSD because the drive bay was not big enough to mount a SSD and HDD. I did not rate the Longevity because only time will tell. Since I kept the old HDD as a backup and will schedule monthly backups, failure will not be fatal.

Used this to upgrade my HP touchscreen laptop from a 512g 2.5" hard drive to a 1tb SSD. I removed the old drive and just left the bracket in place in case I ever want to upgrade to more space. Also, removing the old metal hard drive reduced weight and power drain by leaving a spinning hard drive in place. So far the device is working perfectly. I upgraded to the Chrome FLEX OS and the machine is very responsive and useful especially if you use the google workspace suite (gmail, gdrive, google docs etc.). Drive is roomy and fast! Pictures show the drive in situ in the laptop after installation of new SSD and removal of the old drive. TIP: I suggest you leave the old hard drive bracket in place and just tape the screws to the bracket before you close up the laptop. This way, if you ever need to add a 2.5" drive back in, you have all the parts to do so. 👍🙂

I picked up this drive when it was $51. (It's a bit more at the moment.) For a Silicon Power 1TB M.2 drive I thought this was a pretty good deal, and a good value. I can't really give heat, speed, or longevity specs, because the system is a fanless, low wattage, media device that sits idles 99.9% of the time. I don't have a testing system with the tools necessary to do any real testing. The board didn't have a NVMe connector and so I used an ELUTENG M.2 to SATA Adapter (see here: https://amzn.to/49dZ851 this is my Amazon associates support link). The SATA III speed is fast enough for this system, and the adapter was $7 at the time, but please note that this adapter has a plastic housing and does not allow for heat dissipation. I can not recommend this SATA III adapter for drives that will be heavily used.

Use these in raspberry pi’s 5. Great price point and easy to configure.

Awesome ssd. Super fast, easy intallation and very thin. Just what the Dr. ordered for my PC.

Fabulous price for size of storage

Delivery service was good. 1st delivery was not successful as I was out, I was called and the 2nd delivery the next day was ok. Product works and the seller's published details were accurate. I didn't do any technical performance comparison since mine is an old PC, but the SSD worked as expected and the C: drive migration was seamless.

fast and cheap 1 week delivery

Dos veces lo compré y dos veces falló. Lo barato sale caro, de repente murió y ya no pude recuperar valiosa informacion. Nadie lo compre

For my thinclient this is probably overkill. But it would have cost more for 64gb of another brand. I have grown to trust Silicone Power products, and have had no issues with their chip based products. If I haven't changed this review then it's still functioning well with no issues.

So far it’s working perfectly and hopefully it does for some time
