i feel like i read abt issues with silicon power ssds on here every other day in terms of premature failures and part swapping. id take the nm790/kc3000 if they drop to similar prices again, personally
Yeah, wouldn’t rely on silicon power for anything important.
every silicon power deal has complaints and my first ever ssd was from them and it broke within 3 years
the Intel and Samsung ones I got later have all lasted much longer
Lexar
Everyone knows about SP constantly and sneakily changing to poorer components but there's also too many cases of Silicon Power drives suddenly dying
Especially with NVMe where the power comes directly off the mobo through the M.2 slot, suspect SP are using low quality power regulation that can't maintain solid voltages and therefore triggering early deaths
Is this dual sided?
TLC?
it uses the same tlc nand as the nm790 afaik, but be warned that silicon power have been known to chop and change parts without warning, including the flash
Bought one during Christmas sale last year and it was the same controller and nand as the nm790. Not sure if it is still the case with newer batches.
I have the Lexar, loving it.
If you want a reason to buy an SSD with DRAM instead of DRAMless SSD like this one:

Or if you want to buy this SSD, have a look at a synthetic benchmark result where these recent DRAMless SSDs do quite well:

Hopefully, SiliconPower hasn't done any component swap on these…
thanks. Is this sourced from a main article/s?

Another review (Tom's Hardware):

I also suggest you check Amazon reviews on this (make sure you filter the reviews so you only look at 4TB US75 ones). Some people reported power management issue and Silicon Power's quality control isn't top notch.
Excellent. Very useful thanks
Specs are very similar to this SiliconPower drive…
If spec/price are the same. I don't see the point choosing a less well-known brand
I wouldn't go for MP44Q as that's QLC (unless it is priced at ~$200 for 4TB). The recent wave of new controllers allow QLC SSDs, when operating in pSLC mode to perform well in sequential read/write.
That's my current concern about the upcoming SSDs. It's good that Teams as least let you know. Kingston just does the swaps.
This or Lexar?
