Features

  • PCIe Gen 3x4 interface with read/write speed up to 2,200/1,600MB/s
  • TBW=150
  • The warranty terms on all of its SSDs are based on whether the warranty length or TBW limit occurs first.
  • To support a Silicon Power PCIe SSD, the system must have an M. 2 connector with only an M key. The Silicon Power PCIe SSD does not have a b notch and therefore, the b key on the SSD connector will prevent it from being inserted

Description

The P34A60 is an affordable storage solution that doesn't skimp on performance. It's designed for novice users, DIY system builders, purpose- built system manufacturers, and simply those who are looking to upgrade their PC. But with a PCIe Gen3x4 interface, which means four lanes are used for transmitting and receiving data simultaneously, read speeds up to 2,200 MB/s, and write speeds up to 1,600 MB/s, this SSD is anything but basic. The P34A60 supports NVMe 1.3, which demands better performance vectors than AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface), including scalable bandwidth, increased IOPS, and low latency. In addition, HMB (Host Memory Buffer) architecture, which allows the host driver to allocate system memory (RAM) for exclusive use by the SSD, results in higher efficiency. It's this teamwork that provides optimum performance. The P34A60 is engineered with LDPC (Low-Density Parity Check) coding, a powerful error correction code (ECC) algorithm, to keep data secure. Furthermore, End-To-End (E2E) data protection, to ensure that accessed and retrieved data are correct from start to finish, and a RAID engine, which provides an acceptable level of fault tolerance, work to enhance data integrity for greater reliability and stability. With an M.2 2280 (80mm) form factor, the P34A60's compact size allows for easy installation in laptops, small form factor PC systems, and some ultrabooks. And with up to a massive 2TB capacity option, it's an easy upgrade that can greatly expand your system's storage potential while also saving space for other components.

  • Great for installing an OS on a NAS
Capacity: 256GB Style: 256GB
Great SSD for running an internal OS instead of a USB stick. I bought this for a server to install and run TrueNAS on my Aoostar NAS. Works flawlessly. A nice size for the price, and will definitely have extra space for any future OS updates.

  • Reliable Drive
Capacity: 256GB Style: 256GB
I bought this in 2020, and lasted 6 years in my computer. Never noticed any slowdown, and worked great. Only reason I replaced it is because I needed more storage. Would definitely recommend.

  • Perfect.
Capacity: 256GB Style: 256GB
This 256GB as my co worker described it is epic and based on the amount of reading you doing from the drive the speed is perfect. Works perfect. Update 11/11/22 There is better drives out there with read/write speed up to 7000MB/s, but this item just at 2,200/1,600MB/s is amazing. I am copying a file at about 10Gb and the transfer takes about just 40seconds. Now this is a big upgrade from the traditional Seagate external drive I had. I cant tell you that it get very hot, but it sure decapitates the heat and everything runs smooth. 256GB with these read/write speed and this cost, c'mon, what more can you ask for. I am using this as an external drive and it is working exponentially great accomplishing all task in a blink. No regrets and will sure buy again but looking for bigger size and better speed. ... show more

  • Working good so far

Just what I needed for another drive for a dual boot build. Going strong for almost a month- hopefully no future troubles. Accurate speeds as listed.

  • Good value, but may fight a Linux install (Ubuntu 24.04).
Capacity: 256GB Style: 256GB
Just be aware... When installing Ubuntu 24.04 on the Silicon Power A60 (P34A60), you may encounter low-level controller freezes and timeout errors (such as QID timeout or genctr mismatch). This stems from a hardware/firmware conflict between the drive's DRAM-less controller (often the Silicon Motion SM2263XT or similar) and the Linux kernel's handling of power states and heavy I/O commands. See screenshots for some debugging info. I did a deep dive into debugging the drive and ultimately used an alternative brand/model. This drive appears functional but will be used in a different project. ... show more

  • I'm super impressed with this little thing!
Capacity: 256GB Style: 256GB
I bought this with the "FIDECO M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure, USB 3.2 Gen 2 to M.2 NVMe Enclosure, PCIe NVMe Adapter for M & M+B Key, Sandwich Style Design, Tool-Free Installation, Support UASP and Trim" to put it in. Both electronic items were shipped with a 12 can box of canned cat food in a padded envelope which initially scared me. I envisioned this SSD being crushed or broken but the clear plastic clamshell packaging was sturdy and it didn't appear damaged. I opened it up, inserted it into the enclosure, and it works great on my computer! It's so much faster than the older smaller one it replaced that I realized I should have replaced it sooner. I primary use this to transfer files between a Windows 11 and an off network Windows 10 computer I use for back up purposes. The speed on this is in the triple vs single digits. I've had it less than a week at this point but so far I'm very very impressed. If it dies later I'll update this review. If I haven't updated it by the time you read this, you can safely assume it's still working like a champ! ... show more
