The Silicon Power NVMe 1 TB drive is shipped in a very small and rather plain plastic blister pack.
Build:
The unit looks nice and feels solid. These are surprisingly small considering the capacity when compared to standard SSD drives. It does not have a heat spreader, so heat might be an issue in a less ventilated case. This is a Phison E12 based drive, with actual DRAM to improve performance, unlike cheaper drives that cheat by caching on the NAND cells, but slow down considerably on larger transfers. The screw to install the drive is not included.
Performance:
The drive is very fast, like a true NVMe PCIe drive should be (unlike SATA M.2 models). Keeping some free space would probably be wise to maintain performance through its lifetime, like most TLC drives. While an online review mentioned the lower endurance rating of this drive, one must remember that manufacturer endurance specs and actual lifetime endurance can vary greatly. There’s a Silicon Power toolkit that can be downloaded online.
Overall value:
I purchased this drive on sale because it was cheaper than competing QLC of the same capacity, and much cheaper than any TLC drive at the time. One must know that QLC drives are new, unproven and become very slow when they are filled up. This is an absolute beast considering its price. Longevity might be an issue, but unless one writes terabytes of data regularly, this shouldn’t be an problem.
Ordered one more, but was too busy to install it. One month or so after arrival, I finally got around to it. Unfortunately, it was DOA. Return process was straightforward, that's good.
And yet, while I was waiting for them to ship it back to me, yet another one of these decided to drop dead. It was running for around 6 months. It started acting weird: it wouldn't come back up after a warm reboot, only with a cold boot (turn machine off, on again). I thought it was some other issue, didn't bother investigating... until the machine wouldn't even get to the BIOS at all. During troubleshoot, removing the SSD would make it work again without issues. After lots of poking around, it did boot again, but quickly threw a bunch of errors and dropped dead again.
As my data is still kind-of-there, I won't return it. That is not as bad as the thought that the 5 other ones I have are... not the most reliable drives, to put it mildly.
Unfortunately, I can not recommend these at this point.
===ORIGINAL REVIEW GOES BELOW===
Wow. I was surprised to see how many I ordered.
If you're comparing it to the Pros that are 2 times the price at least, you may be disappointed. My best NVMe drive is a Samsung 970 Evo plus, so I am not. It's not as fast, but you'd have to be paying too much attention to notice.
For regular usage, light gaming, this will do just fine. So fine, I bought a bunch, and I am not even sorry. I use them as boot drives on a bunch of machines, desktop, servers, and my laptop.
They're reasonably priced, good performance, lots of space, and run cool, unlike the 970 Evo Plus.
If you're looking for good enough, it doesn't get any better than this.

The biggest concern for anyone buying this is: "How can I use this if I don't have a slot on my motherboard for a M.2 SSD?". You need to get an adapter like this:
QNINE NVME PCIe Adapter, M.2 NVME SSD to PCI Express 3.0 Host Controller Expansion Card
This M.2 NVME SSD is the right "key" for the above adapter. The "key" is just the notched pattern for the NVME drive. (without getting too technical about it). You can put the drive + adapter into any PC that has a PCI-e slot.
BOOTING from the NVME Drive may or may not be supported by your motherboard. Your operating system has to be 84-bit and supports UEFI; Windows 7*, 8*, 8.1* or Windows® 10. (Check your motherboard information about UEFI and NVME)
If all this sounds technically confusing you can do this:
1) boot off a regular 2.5 inch SSD drive (have your Operating system on it).
2) install the PCIe adapter + M.2 NVME drive into your PCI-e (x4){version 3.x} slot (check your motherboard specs)
3) make the M.2 a secondary drive like D: or E: or F: (all you have to do is format it, windows will give it the drive letter)
4) install any heavy loading programs on the M.2
I have this above outline configuration. Heavy programs or data goes to my M.2 Drives. You can even get two of these and make the M.2s into a RAID 0 stripped drive for double the speed. My advice is to format the M.2 as ReFS.ReFS protects against data corruption.
(see attached image)
(SKIP this section if you are not interested in ReFS formatting)
Checking if TRIM is set for your ReFS formatted drive:
1) click on start or type in the windows 8/10 search box "CMD"
2) once you see CMD right click on the black icon and select "Run as Administrator"
3) type in the black window (Command Prompt) that just opened:
a) fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify
1) NTFS DisableDeleteNotify = 0 (says that TRIM is active for NTFS)
2) ReFS DisableDeleteNotify = 0 ((says that TRIM is active for ReFS)
3) if you get = "is not currently set" for either NTFS or ReFS
You can enable it with the following command:
a) fsutil behavior set DisableDeleteNotify ReFS 0 (this will set TRIM for ReFS)
b) fsutil behavior set DisableDeleteNotify NTFS 0 (this will set TRIM for ReFS)
Silicon Power M.2 NVME Drive: Speeds: (Crystal Disk Mark) {See attached image}
(NTFS formatted)
- READ and WRITE speeds: 2,000 MB/s
(ReFS formatted)
- READ speeds: 2,000 MB/s
- WRITE speed: 634 MB/S (due to error/checksum checking)
Write speeds are slower on ReFS due to error/checksum checking. 634MB/s is still SSD fast.
ALL NVME drives are subject to thermal throttling which means once the M.2/NVME drive reaches a certain temperature the onboard chips will throttle down the speed/transfer to save the chips from overheating. Larger, longer transfers will trip the "thermal throttling" so just be aware it isn't the manufacturer's fault but the nature of the NVME design overall (across all manufacturers)
My systems have SP SSD drives installed. I do large data transfers almost daily. SP drives keep pace with Samsung on speeds. Reliability can't be gauged on a short-term basis. Most of my drives are a year or younger in age. I do suggest trying either this M.2 drive or one of SP's other SSD drives. If you have an older system that doesn't have PCI-e (3.0) or greater to go with a regular 2.5" SSD drive. You really won't notice the difference. If all this sounds overwhelming find a geeky friend to help you out. I hope this information helps someone out. I always try to revise my reviews as needed.
