Pros & Cons
Cons
Probably ok for use in desktops where write cycles aren't an issue. But if you plan on passing a lot of data through them they will fail very quickly. Will not but silicon power again.
Highlights
Quality
Light weight and fast read write speed
Great quality drive that has 256 gigs.
The tools that show the drives health are useless and formatting doesn't change anything.
Hook it up, boot to the usb drive install your choice of os, i used fedora 40, the installation was done in less than 15 minutes.
Price
This item is a good bang for your buck, it is a fast ssd cheap reliable.
For the price, the performance is top-notch, making this ssd an excellent value.
1tb for under $50 is a fair price for such a decently spec’d sata ssd.
But most of the people i do this for are very budget conscious and i needed something i could support and they could afford.
Shipping
All i can say is wow, it's so much faster now.
Competitiveness
I bought 2 different brands ssd and this is the only one that never failed or given me any issues whatsoever.
Out of 8 different less expensive drives, the sp drive has provided the value, speed and most of all, the reliability i need.
These are not a well known brand, nor are they the most or least expensive.
The speeds are just as advertised, aside from the write speed when writing large transfers, nearly as fast as superior competing products.
