I bought 5 of these less than two years ago, though they were the 500 GB model. Every single one of them has failed - some within 45 days and just outside the return period. The last one, which I honestly forgot was still running and thought I’d replaced, failed this morning.

These SSDs are absolute garbage and their warranty replacements are a joke (read: you’re outta luck, Chuck). Burn me once, shame on you. Burn me 6 times, well, shame one me for buying them again, I guess. lol. I had one fail prior to this batch, but assumed it was an oddball.

Pro tip: Never buy Silicon Power (SP) SSDs. I you have any in use, make sure you have backups running daily and that you check those backups every so often.

Seems like the 3v3 regulator is what goes out on these, but I’m not going to bother trying to repair it since I’ve got backups.

      You must be the luckiest person alive.

      Can you please pick 5 numbers between 1 and 69 and then another number between 1 and 26? I’m going to buy a Powerball ticket with those numbers.

            I mean, if I DM’d you saying I won the lottery and wanted to share it with you, would you even read the whole message before reporting it as spam? 😂
