Budget Upgrade

The Silicon Power Slim S55 SP960GBSS3S55S25 960GB SSD is an inexpensive solution for upgrading older laptops, as well as for assembling entry-level home and office PCs. The model is equipped with 960GB of memory using modern 3D NAND architecture, which allows you to maintain a compact size with a large volume. The device is based on the old Phison PS3108-S8 controller, which was released back in 2012. Despite this, the controller supports the SATA 3 interface with a throughput of up to 6 Gbps and provides sufficient performance for most tasks. There is also an SLC cache, which allows you to achieve good reading (500 MB/s) and writing (450 MB/s) for the first 5 GB of data, but after that the speed may decrease. The SSD is optimized for working with small files and can significantly improve system performance and reduce OS boot time.

Software support

All necessary functions are provided for stable and long-term operation of the solid-state drive. Silicon Power Slim S55 SP960GBSS3S55S25 960 GB supports the TRIM function, which monitors the relevance of data and optimizes writing to memory cells, as well as ECC for automatic error correction during operation. The SMART system provides real-time monitoring of the SSD status, and the proprietary SP Toolbox utility provides all the information in a convenient format. The bad block management (BBM) mechanism helps to avoid data loss by moving information from damaged sectors. Thus, the model is designed for a service life of about one and a half million hours without problems.
