Silicon Power 1TB 3D NAND 2.5" internal SSD is on sale at Amazon.
TLC 3D NAND flash with SLC Cache technology.
TLC likely results in better endurance than QLC.
Price is better than Samsung 860 QVO even after rebates. Also this price is delivery included. And don't forget stacking with CashRwards/Shopback.
CamelCamelCamel.
So hard to call the bottom on this one
call the bottom
1800 BUM
Weird. I called the number but it put me through to yo mama.
"OH, HARRO! I can't hear you, this line is shit"
So cheap, keep dropping that is nice, cheap 2TB soon.
Price is actually $120, its 119.99.
Umm, No.
must be new to ozbargain
last time I checked 120 does not equal to 111.99
Where can you get it for 111.99?
Great price. Can't seem to find more than a handful of reviews for this model but from what I can see this would do the job quite well for game storage but maybe not your best option for an OS drive, unless you're upgrading from a HDD in which case any SSD would be a vast improvement.
Would people recommend this or the BX500 for similar price?
(Using to replace 5400rpm HDD in laptop)
BX500 is DRAMless, the one they sent for reviews appeared to have DRAM. However, people have complained that they swap the chipset (and possibly the NAND) and making it DRAMless.
Mate, at this point you can replace that 5400 rpm HDD with a potato and it'll still run faster.
Upon saying that, I'll trust Crucial more than this.
It appears that the maker swapped the chipset and NAND chips depending the batch. So there is a bit of a lottery.
Thanks OP, ordered one for my second PC
Would this work on my Commodore 64?
which version?
Obviously Version 64
That's so BASIC
Does anyone know what the sustained read/write speed is on this? I'm interested in buying it to use as a cache drive for video work.
Here you go, sroll down for Specs or look below: https://www.silicon-power.com/web/product-Ace_A55
Performance Read(max.)ATTO: up tp 560MB/s
CDM: up to 500MB/s
Performance Write(max.)ATTO: up tp 530MB/s
CDM: up to 450MB/s
Note: I don't usually consider Read and write speeds because most SSD's have maxed out the speed limits of the SATA III Interface
Thanks for the effort. I saw those, but was hoping for real world experiences as I'm pretty sure that those numbers aren't sustained numbers. I'll be writing/reading upwards of 400MB/s and need it to be sustained so that I don't have drop outs with playback.
If your video work relies on writing more than about 20Gb of data at a time then a cheap SSD like this one would be a terrible choice. They all rely on a small SLC NAND cache that then gets written to much slower MLC or QLC memory. If your cache fills up and can't be purged in time before more data is written then write speeds fall off a cliff.
Thanks, that's exactly what I needed to know.
can this be used as an external ssd/portable ssd? If so which Case would I buy with it.
Yes

How does this compare to the BX500 and Samsung QVO 1TB
They would be a much better option. There a quality issues with Silicon Power SSDs. Just read the critical reviews for the 256GB model at Amazon.

nice one
can i use it for my macbook pro?
Which Macbook Pro? Generally, no. It's the wrong type.
thanks, man, i was thinking about it is an external ssd
Look at the Amazon reviews.
It's cheap, but has a very high failure rate..
I had a 500Gb Silicon Power A55. It worked fine for about 3 months but then I noticed the bad block count started to rise. After another 3 months it rose exponentially and reached 17 bad blocks, and then the drive became extremely slow and unusable. I managed to copy all the data off it but was surprised the drive effectively failed when it still had 83 spare blocks to remap to.
I am just wondering did SSD have bad block?
Looks like it's out of stock?
i paid $134.99 last week :(
