SP SILICON POWER Ace A55 256Gb Sata Ssd, Up to 500Mb/S, 3D Nand with SLC Cache, 2.5 Inch Sata Iii 6Gb/S Internal Solid State Drive for Desktop Laptop Pc Computer

Reliable Performance and Value!
I recently upgraded my laptop with the Silicon Power Ace A55 256GB SATA SSD, and I couldn’t be happier! The installation was straightforward, and the performance boost is remarkable. It boots up my system in seconds and significantly speeds up file transfers. The 500MB/s read and write speeds make a noticeable difference, especially when running applications or multitasking. The 3D NAND technology adds durability and reliability, which is a plus. Overall, this SSD offers great value for its price. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to enhance their desktop or laptop’s performance without breaking the bank!

Light and Fast!! Does what its supposed to
Silicon Power is a good SSD no matter what some of the other comments here say. Its not the same say as Samsung but its close enough in terms of quality and speed, the two most important factors when deciding on a SSD. Hey if you really wanted a Samsung then you should go out, pay the fancy price and buy it. Yes I agree that Samsung reliability would be 100% but this ain’t too bad either. I already own a Samsung SSD drive and wanted something budget friendly this time. Their Velox series is more for people who are exploring SSD’s for the first time. This model Ace A55 is budget friendly mid range SSD which is good for laptops. The best part is that it is smaller in thickness and hence really low on weight. But it may lead to heating in the future as the thicker ones usually have better chip design and cooling built into them. I will know this summer. If installing in a laptop it will make a difference even if you already have other SSD’s installed like the M.2 PCIe Gen 3 and have replaced your laptop DVD writer also with an Samsung SSD drive like me. Coming to the speed, a user here has already written an important and very helpful comment, you need to align the SSD partitions and sectors correctly if you want it to perform especially when cloning your old HDD and Windows partitions to it. I suggest the same thing and recommend using Mini Tool Partition to align the partitions to 1MB by default. I didn’t need to do all this as its not the primary SSD in my laptop and not going to be the last one either but yes for my primary SSD I did need to. Where this SSD really boosts up speed is on a Macbook. Trust me when I say this but booting up MacOS using a SSD is going to feel supersonic as compared to booting up a HP Pavillion Windows 10. But yes die hard Windows fans a SSD is going to improve your loading and waiting times immensely. Its damn irritating waiting for all the tray icons to load even if you have 16 GB of RAM. For the geeks out there plenty of tests are available to check out the speed of this SSD and I think Silicon Power does not do too poorly in most of them for a mid range SSD. You can also download their ToolBox to test your drives health from time to time. They even provide a licensed cloning software if you dont have Acronis or Mini Tool. As with all my reviews I must post a little caveat, most low to medium priced SSD’s including this one require some amount of system RAM to function correctly. So if you buy a SSD like this one 512 GB then be prepared to sacrifice at least 1 GB of RAM to the SSD for its caching tasks etc. That can make a difference on an old 4 GB RAM system especially if you share RAM with the inbuilt Graphics card as well. Therefore first upgrade the RAM on your old PC or laptop and then buy a SSD especially if you intend to use it for high processing power work later and really breathe life into your old system. On older systems a SSD does make a difference but where it really shines would be on a system with adequate processing power and RAM. Also please note 512 GB does not mean it will effectively show up as 512 GB for use on a Windows laptop. Its the way to do with the way the file system reports the effective space on Microsoft based systems when formatted for Windows use. On a Mac it will show up correctly as 512 GB as they have changed their operating system to report the space/size correctly. But its there on both systems as the effective size provided by the manufacturer SP has not gone anywhere. All in all go for this SSD if you want to bump your old Desktop or laptop by a notch when working or gaming by spending a little. If you want to know specifics suggest you visit the manufacturers website and look for Ace A55 which is the model number for this SSD. Its the starting model in their Ace series. For those looking to buy something more pocket friendly I suggest getting this. I am not going to explain 3D NAND etc as it does not matter to most users here but lets just say this does the job in the price you paid.

Good VFM as a bootup OS ssd
Got this at 20% off deal. Using it as my boot drive. Quite speedy in win11 bootup. Has TBW better than other brand name offering.If you are not looking at sustained throughtput like copying 100s if GBs of data or modern video gaming titles then this is not for you. There is no DRAM on this.If you are using for OS bootup and browsing and ms office kind of day to day usage this is a very good option

Its super fast and quiet of course.There were some reviews mentioned it lags when writing large files to it. This is true because it does not contain the buffer circuitry on the SAMSUNG ssd drives.This will not be an issue for you if you use Aomei or EaseUS partitions software. There is a box you can check, optimise for ssd, to speed up the cloning massively.My steps to move OS-1 – Clone the System Reserved Partition2 – Clone the OS partitionBe sure not to miss step 1. Of course you can clone the entire drive it is much simpler but I did not do this because it will take forever.What you will want to have in case of boot issues:-Windows PE disc-EasyBCD (critical), and a way to run itSustained write speeds will not be much of an issue for most people once it’s migrated / cloned or setup. If it is an issue for you, shell out the shekels for the Samsung.As all flash memory does, it operates way faster with small files, sustained writes and probably even reads, are going to slow down after about 500mb of file sizeThis is a great value and it will perform fine for most users. Very cool to have and great value I do not regret this purchase even .001%. Would have like to get the Samsung, but its 3X as much money, for what boils down to nearly the same thing, once the drive is clonedMake sure to check optimize for ssd in cloning software. Definitely use fast mode clone (copy files) in Aomei to save yourself hours. I’d probably avoid using clonezilla because it wiped my boot record then failed to clone, and it takes forever in sector clone mode.Do not expect the disc cloning to be easy or fast, it will not be unless you clone entire drive, and if you do that and your drive is huge then prepare to wait overnight if not days. So is why I suggested the steps above. Only took about 30 minutes to clone a 270 gb partition just now.works best to just not delete anything on source disk and you will be fine as long as you are able to run EasyBCD again (make sure that you can!)
