Silicon Power P34A60 1TB - Affordable SSD Review!

[@JayzBeerz]

1TB is now $37.99 USD.

[@ROLOGamingOfficial]

The 2tb is $76 dollars, on Sunday I bought the 2.5 Sata a55 for 72. I'm returning that one and getting this nvme instead.

[@JayzBeerz]

@@ROLOGamingOfficial the 670P is better. It has DRAM and is $75.00 for 2TB.

[@jonathanp5249]

@@JayzBeerz Hello Friend, what is the Model that u said? 670P of SP ?

[@JayzBeerz]

@@jonathanp5249 SP is $37.99. But the 670P is better due to faster speed and it has DRAM. But it is a QLC drive vs. the SP is a TLC drive.

[@primekiller5729]

I bought the 2TB SSD at that same price and has DRAM!

[@Jison9]

Thorough as per usual, thanks for the solid video!

[@TechLegend-com]

Thank you!

[@prabhatkrrajput2784]

Hi , I can buy either silicon 512 gb nvme or adata gamix S5 512gb ( it also has heatsink) Both drives has almost same spec Which brand should I trust

[@TechLegend-com]

I believe that the Silicon Power is better overall.

[@ertai222]

How does this compare the Team Group MP33?

[@TechLegend-com]

It's better overall.

[@piyush2188]

which one should i go for SP Silicon Power P34A60 512gb or WD blue SN570 500GB?

[@JayzBeerz]

Get 1TB at a minimum.

[@piyush2188]

@@JayzBeerz send money..will definitely buy 1tb variant:)

[@abross7971]

Hello ! would you recommend this or the Western Digital WD_BLACK 1TB SN770 NVMe Internal Gaming SSD Solid State Drive - Gen4 PCIe, M.2 2280, Up to 5,150 MB/s - WDS100T3X0E?? 1TB for both

[@TechLegend-com]

Get the one that is cheaper, they are close in performance.

[@filosgamer]

well yea im sure i wont need to transfer all of wikipedia on this drive so its good for me

[@TechLegend-com]

You better not!

[@sweetdemisky]

Will thisnwork with asus prime h310m er 2.0 boards

[@TechLegend-com]

Yes, it will work with your motherboard.

[@sauravmodak507]

What is its endurance

[@TechLegend-com]

600 TB

[@kkrr2852]

How about the temp?

[@TechLegend-com]

It never went above 70 degrees.

[@girishmenoth3828]

Im planning to buy it. Does it still works good?

[@ham6006]

I have one and I just replaced it, it overheats constantly

[@girishmenoth3828]

@@ham6006 so you won't recommend it?

[@TechLegend-com]

The one in this review still working well.

[@Ghryst]

you dont have any kingston drives (the most important competitor) in your benchmark charts

[@TechLegend-com]

They never bothered to reply to my emails and I'm not buying SSDs to review just yet.

[@Ghryst]

​@@TechLegend-com which came first? the chicken or the egg?

[@andrewm4106]

Hello, I bought the 1tb A60 model and installed it however my pc is not finding the drive. I am using a Asus ROG Strix B450-F Gaming mother board. Any ideas on how to get the computer to recognize that I have installed the drive?

[@TechLegend-com]

Hi, sorry for the late reply. It's pretty normal. Please follow the below instructions: Go in the start menu and search for disk management. Once inside disk management, you will see your new SSD labeled as "unallocated ". Right click on it and select new volume, select what letter you want the volume to have and click OK. Your PC should now see your new SSD and you can use it.

[@andrewm4106]

@@TechLegend-com thank you for the advice. I also had to update my bios for my pc to recognize the new drive being installed.

[@TechLegend-com]

@@andrewm4106 Glad to hear you got it sorted and it works! :)

[@mateosp5105]

does it fit for A520 Aorus elite? because on the page it says that it supports the SP001TBP34A80M28 but the SP001TBP34A60M28 does not come out

[@TechLegend-com]

It should work on that motherboard.

[@rayyann00r]

I have a question any advice on what should I get should I get Silicon Power P34A60 512GB (R/W 2,200MB/s/ 1,600MB/s)for 60 dollars or get Silicon Power P34A80 256GB (R/W 3,100MB/s/ 1,100MB/s) For 50 dollars?

[@TechLegend-com]

Get the 512GB SSD, the difference in speeds will go unnoticed in daily usage.

[@rayyann00r]

@@TechLegend-com Thank you very much I really appreciate your work its very informative 😊 keep up the good work 👌

do i need to buy a SSD heatsink for this if so which one? i have a MSI B650M GAMING PLUS WIFI Micro ATX AM5 Motherboard

[@bikebobo2472]

Hi all, i am thinking about buying a 2tb version as i will use it to store lots of files and videos and some casual gaming such as start craft 2, Diablo immortal and start craft remastered with it. My laptop is i5 11th gen , 16gb ram with intel iris video. will it run the game smoothly? Thanks for any suggestions.

[@TechLegend-com]

Hi, this SSD will run your games smoothly. However, the performance of games is not really liked to SSD performance, it's more about your CPU and Graphics cards.

[@mikeh6286]

What about Q1T1 4k random reads? I would have liked to see that.

[@NephilimGodMusic]

Bought this brand 1 tb Nvme ssd 1 yr later it stopped working. Windows was freezing after many test found out this drive had died. Just fyi. Good thing nothing important just a few games and game saves. They did not get back to me on email. My 1st Nvme from samsung has windows installed on it so at least main data was on that drive. Never again with Silicon Power. Also the reason for my freezing system i guess it would work off and on causing the system to freeze. Removing it fixed the pc issue.

[@surami1]

I had this ssd for about 8 months now and the first few months of having it, it does have problems but now it just completely died on me its not really a bad ssd but it just has alot of problems

[@nstorm2415]

do you recomend the 2tb version? my new laptop can only use m2 drives and ive been thinking about getting a cheap 2tb ssd like this one for my games and animes.

[@TechLegend-com]

Yes, the 2TB version is good for daily usage, if you can get it for a good price.

[@ftrlyf5440]

What would you recommend crucial p2 or this one? They both cost same..

[@TechLegend-com]

The Crucial is better.

[@prashantcruise]

I got the same ssd but without heatsink temp goes up to 81*C should I go for heatsink ?

[@TechLegend-com]

Yes, get a heatsink for it.

[@vittoriovictorino]

Compré esta unidad, y tengo los mismos problemas de baja velocidad de escritura. Este SSD de Silicon Power, no es lo mejor...

[@damightyshabba439]

This is an old Video, but I decided to post anyway - just installed a 2TB Silicon Power M2..... erm.... to say "fast" would be direspectul. I have 4x 7200rpm SATAs with 256MB Cache, Plus 70TB of USB 3, 3.1, 3.2 drives.... I have IGNORED M2 Nvmes until now..... Seriously people, if you're on the fence (like I was) Drop off it. Stupidly fast, even on an old B450 motherboard. Cold boot to online with VPN and AV active in about 7 seconds.... A small 256GB is pennies - get one! No advert, I'm not promoting anything. Just... I am sooooo happy I upgraded and can't believe it took me this long - I was being stubborn.

[@TechLegend-com]

"old video" it's only 2 years old! Also glad to hear that you upgraded! :)

[@jxzhq_1561]

Does it support the dell g15 5515 ryzen edition laptop?

[@TechLegend-com]

Yes it will.

[@deepaftersu]

does it works with bmpcc 6k pro?

[@TechLegend-com]

Yes it will work but you need an external enclosure for the SSD.

[@darthgamer6080]

Now $51.99 on Amazon.

[@TechLegend-com]

Good price.

[@DexMediaja]

I just order this the last ssd I have was a sandisk x600 m.2 2280 SATA 128gb would I see a major difference?

[@TechLegend-com]

You will, especially since this one is bigger.

[@DexMediaja]

@@TechLegend-com yea sir thanks my biggest problem that ssd full so quick even tho I don’t save things on it what I’m saying you too would I see a difference with processing speed especially with ok exporting pictures in Lightroom and exporting videos in filmora ?

[@TechLegend-com]

@@DexMediaja It should be faster as it will not be full all the time.

@@TechLegend-com thanks is it better than the Western Digital 1TB WD Blue SA510 SATA Internal Solid State ?

last year I got a Silicon Power sata ssd 125 gb and has hardly ben used and is at 96% health left :(

It broke fast?

@@emanuelwarzel no but had beardly ben used. But it continues to be at 96% life left. So maybe it was the drive in my old laptop . In that case I used it more than I thought.

[@poopfungus5097]

do i need to buy a heatsink?

[@TechLegend-com]

If your motherboard allows it, then you could.

[@martin518441]

probably not , if you are concerned about temperatures get one but I don't think this one would have problems without a heat sink , I guess a cheap method would be to get 3 or 4 of the small heatsinks that are used for memory on graphics cards

[@TechLegend-com]

@@martin518441 The issue with those small heatsinks is that you need to attach them with something adhesive. A beginner can mess that up.

[@martin518441]

@@TechLegend-com thernal epoxy should be fine , there shouldn't need to be a reason to take them off the SSD anyways
