Silicon Power 2TB US75 NVMe 4.0 Gen4 PCIe M.2 SSD R/W up to 7,000/6,500 MB/s (SP02KGBP44US7505)

This hasn't been my first NVME PCIe drive but it is certainly not going to be the last of this brand that I choose.I looked at other well known brands and models and then, with some hesitation, decided that this well sold model must have something going for it to be equally as capable with the extra cost.So I placed my order, thankfully I was not wrong.First thing that I must mention is that you must follow the link provided in the packaging to register for the full five years warranty, obviously that is important. You do get a confirmation email.For me this is the second NVME drive that I have connected to my Z390 Master board, so I was aware of any implications that would mean. What I mean is first of all check if your board has the correct fitting and also if there are any restrictions placed on other slots or ports when fitting. I know for me it means that I lose two SATA ports, not an issue.Also when you need to fit one of these on a desktop motherboard you might need to remove your GPU or perhaps a fan from your large CPU cooler, check and prepare first.The fitting was very straight forward for me, even tho I did need to remove my 1080Ti GPU. Fitting it in place was done with caution and used the stand off and screw that came with the motherboard, the motherboard also provided a heatsink for me to use, with a removable cover to allow the heatsink to adhere to the NVME drive. I did mark down the fitting to only two stars, not the fault of the product but one of how all these types of drives can be a little challenging on a PC's motherboard due to the positioning of the slots, not the fault of the product.Putting it altogether and powering up the PC and the BIOS picked up the drive immediately and not further drivers were needed by Windows 10 x64, build 2004.As you can see for the enclosed photo the performance seems great and being used as my Steam games drive is pretty amazing in terms of its responsiveness.To be frank in every day use, not thinking benchmarks here, you would be pushed to notice any difference from a NVME drive to that of a traditional SSD, but you probably know that.Overall I do very much recommend this drive, it is fast, as much so as the other well known branded ones, it is cheaper than others and offers a great warranty. What isn't here to like..?FWIW previously I had bought a 256GB Samsung NVME drive and use that as my boot drive. It is still fast and responsive, the transition from a SSD to the NVME was done using Macrium back up and restore software.I do hope that this review has helped you.Best wishes

Silicon Power are not a new fly by night company, they've been around for a number of years now.All companies were new once, even WD, even Samsung.We trust them with our data, why not SP?And so I have.MY Child's 1 year old Win10 laptop had really bad boot times, into several minutes on a cold boot.A bit of research showed the laptop should have a m.2 slot, so I took it apart and yep it did.I was shopping around for a while, and bought the 256Gb version of this m.2 ssd when it was on a lightning deal for a little under £26.A bargain I think.Now this bit is about a laptop niggle; the laptop did not have an m.2 retaining screw for the riser. So, Acer, you go through the trouble of developing and adding the m.2 slot, include an install a riser, pop a pink bit of plastic on it to cover the screw hole (why?), but do not include a screw ! ? ! Say what ? And also, why ? It wouldn't even cost you a penny to include it, in the riser, worried about it dislodging, why add the riser, you were not worried about that ! ?So, you have to buy the screw, but cannot buy 1 or 2, no, you have to buy a pack, of 10. Like how / why would I want that many ? And whilst still niggling, why is it my pc motherboard (thanks ASRock, top notch, saved me 2p) is sold with the screws, but not a laptop?So, screw(s) bought, laptop opened up, m.2 ssd added, screwed in and laptop all safely done up again, and it's time.Time to move all the stuff across, well, in part.SP are new to me in the terms of data, so I copied windows across (50GB speedily done, but cannot recall how long), but all the User data, docs, images, vids, music etc, I have left on the h/drive. And I simply pointed Windows to the files on the old h/drive.So it's a split system, if you will.Windows boots really fast, allowing you to start working almost immediately, definitely sub 10 seconds from a cold boot. And because I minimised the data read/write cycles, as user data is read/written to the h/drive, the m.2 ssd should not notice any degrading, show high levels of % wear any time soon. (as an example, my 2.5" SSD shows as 85% available after 12 months of light 1/2 use (I have a twin win 10 / 7 system, each on separate ssd's))This seems like a good approach to me, as I feel the user data is 'safe', were the ssd to fail, as the h/drive is a removable, accessible medium, and can be extracted out with ease. Plus, worst case, could revert to the old h/drive.Best of both worlds.So it is still fast, some many months later. I have heard my child mention to others how fast it is, or have been asked how come the laptop is so quick.It is fast, timings show it to be in-line with the advertised speeds.A wake up from windows sleep, is instantaneous.My pc has 2 m.2 slots, one is a WD, which I use for Windows 10, again linking to a h/drive, I also run Win 7 on an old 2.5" SSD. Both look to the same h/drive for user data.When Win7 is all done (a month or so away), it'll be time to rethink.Before that though, I'm thinking of using the 2nd m.2 slot on my pc for a gaming drive.SP will be my first thought, just need to wait for a lightning deal.

Initially I was a bit apprehensive about this product as I've previously only ever used 'name' brand SSD's like WD, Samsung or Crucial. Even though I was buying this solely for PS5 storage, I was still a bit wary of buying a cheap drive from a company I'd never heard of, but decided to give it a try after reading several positive reviews (from both published articles from the likes of PC Gamer & Games Radar, and individual Amazon customer reviews just like this one).Item arrived overnight with Prime shipping, no problem. With the help of a Philips head #1, I was able to install this drive in mere seconds (literally took under two minutes; the hardest part was getting the PS5 side panel to snap back into place after installation). PS5 recognised it straight away & formatting took perhaps a minute at most. According to the PS5, data transfer speed out of the box is 6163 mb/s, and transferring ~400gb of games from the full PS5 drive took perhaps a minute or two at most. Too early to rate in terms of reliability or longevity, but I'm quite impressed with the great performance thus far. Despite the bargain-basement price tag, the Silicon Power drive seems quite a well-built & sturdy SSD, with a quality built-in heatsink (necessary for use in PS5) - very pleased so far with the drive; phenomenal value for money & I wouldn't hesitate to buy again.

Very easy to install and it’s read and write speeds are super fast. Great product at an even better price.

Fast and stable. So far it's 5 stars all the way.

Got this because I was experiencing lag and quality issues with games installed on a standard hard drive and man this thing is a huge game changer. It is able to load all my games very fast without any lag or frame drops. Since this has a high read and write speed it can transfer files in a fraction of what it takes a hard drive. Overall I highly recommend Silicon Power as they tend to make some very high quality products and cheaper than other brands.

Reliable product, great price, I use this brand for all my expandable storage needs. I have this in my sons ps5 and the SD cards in all our switches. Very happy. Great quality.

I picked up this SSD for my Steam Deck, and it's been working perfectly. Installation was fairly easy, and I was able to set up dual boot without any issues. The performance has been solid and its pretty fast and reliable. For the price, it's a great deal. If you're looking to upgrade your Steam Deck's storage, this is definitely a good choice.

This drive is a great value when it goes on sale. It just works, fast speeds, but does get hot. The temps are well within the limits of it's data sheet. I've been running this for months without issue.

Llegó súper rápido. Fue muy facil de instalar, más de lo que esperaba y en cuanto encendimos la consola inició el formateo. Es una muy buena opción para ampliar la memoria del ps5 y funciona excelente hasta ahora.
