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.

This ssd was bought to replace an old hard drive; it was easy to install and it work great

If a person is looking for basic storage for a good price point i would recommend.
Shipping
All i can say is wow, it's so much faster now.
I bought my first one because i needed the next day shipping.
They were quick to send a replacement, and since i was using them as a mirror raid it didn't delay my install.
Packaging/appearance
The harddrive was well packaged and arrived as described.
Package no where mentions to download from site the toolbox.
Competitiveness
Out of 8 different less expensive drives, the sp drive has provided the value, speed and most of all, the reliability i need.
I returned these and got a different brand of ssd.
These are not a well known brand, nor are they the most or least expensive.
They are on par with others brands like patriot, mushkin, kingston, and team group.
