Pros & Cons
Pros
The only problem i have with this, and all nvme drives, is they're tiny - and i have big hulking hands. This silicon power 512gb has 300tbw, hugh difference. Works great as main boot drive.
It is not as fast as say a samsung, but it gets the job done for most cases. Sp response time is a bit slower at around 20ms compared to <1ms, but for playing games and running cad it is unnoticeable.
Mac pro 2012 with opencore running mac os 11. Big sur. The card uses pcie 3. Lanes. It fits in the little nvme cooler i bought, perfectly.
Cons
The two i received have firmware edfm20. However upon shutdown the computer goes to black screen. It takes a hard power down and smc reset to get them to reboot. Reformatting brings it back to life for about 2 weeks before it crashes again.
Nvme pcie 2280 gen 3x4 ssds - something is wrong in their latest firmware and they are completely unreliable in 2013-2015 macbook pro 13 (a1502) and macbook pro 15 (a1398) enter bios and ssd no longer detected at all. I am by no means a * gamer, and t... Read More
Highlights
Quality
After 2 years it still works great with no issues.
It was very easy to install and has so far worked with no issues.
This delivers and now i went for 15 second hd boot time to 6 seconds.
Could not get to boot from cd-rom.
Price
I've had this ssd for over a year and i think that it is great for the price.
The best budget pc part i’ve seen so for.
We found an imac 2017 for $130 & it was agonizingly slow.
Damn there 50 buck for a really good 1tb ssd.
Shipping
Came super fast and plugged right in as expected.
Came in on time and was what was advertised.
Packaging/appearance
I definitely recommend, but the one issue i have is that it came in a small bag with the thinnest packaging i've ever seen.
Competitiveness
This brand seems as good as any other budget ssd.
52gbps which was the highest i saw but i’m just using it as external storage so it’s definitely better than the 2 hdd’s i also ... Read More
There may be some other competitors such as the mp44 which is just as good, but this one works fine.
So much cheaper than buying an actual external which is really strange considering how much faster speeds nvme's have in comparison.
