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

In the short 1gb tests, the drive reached 80c, which is on the high side.

I bought my sp gen 3 ssd 512gb when it was 25$ in september 23.
Packaging/appearance
Looks rather stupid with the 3 empty slots where packets would go for a 512gb drive.
Competitiveness
Este disco duro silicon power pcie ha superado mis expectativas.
The speed is decent, but if you need faster you probably want to get a name brand unit like crucial or the likes.
Newer better technologies will be present so the deal should be the typical versus a timed deal.

I won’t lie i’ve always been skeptical of drives not by the big name brands but i recently had a kingston drive that i wasn’t sure if it was the drive or the motherboards storage controller
