  • Communication Protocol

    Most SSDs use SATA III or PCI Express.

    Almost all 2.5" SSDs connect via SATA III while most M.2 SSDs connect via PCI Express.


    PCI Express connection offers higher speeds, but this is mainly noticeable in demanding applications (high-resolution video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and is not necessary for everyday use.

    PCI Express 3.0

    Connecting to the PCI Express expansion port of the motherboard. Equally popular way of connecting SSD hard drives directly to the motherboard. This connection offers the highest speeds.

  • Write Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data recording. The larger the size, the faster the data recording.

    For an SSD that uses the SATA III protocol, the average recording speed is 300MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 1200MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

  • Read Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data reading. The larger the size, the faster the data reading speed.

    An average reading speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 600MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 2000MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

Description

Description

The P34A60 is an affordable storage solution that doesn't skimp on performance. It is designed for novice users, DIY system builders, and simply for those who want to upgrade their computer. 

NVMe 1.3 + HMB = Optimal Performance

The P34A60 supports NVMe 1.3, including scalable bandwidth, increased IOPS, and low latency. Additionally, the HMB (Host Memory Buffer) architecture, which allows the host driver to allocate system memory (RAM) for exclusive use by the SSD, results in higher performance. This teamwork is what provides optimal performance.

Your data in good hands

The P34A60 is designed with LDPC (Low-Density Parity-Check) coding, a powerful error correction code (ECC) algorithm, to keep data safe. Additionally, End-To-End (E2E) data protection ensures proper access and retrieval of data from start to finish, and a RAID engine provides an acceptable level of fault tolerance, working to improve data integrity for greater reliability and stability.

A system upgrade with room for more

With an M.2 2280 (80 mm) form factor, the compact size of the P34A60 allows for easy installation in laptops, small form factor computer systems, and certain ultrabooks. And with a vast selection of capacities up to 2 TB, it is an easy upgrade that can significantly expand your system's storage capabilities while saving space for other components.

Free Download of SSD Health Monitor - SP Toolbox

Easily monitor the health of your new SSD with the free downloadable software – SP Toolbox. Perform performance tests on the P34A60, get an overall operation evaluation, or check detailed information about your device, including used space, device temperature, total bytes written, and much more.

Capacity
256 GB

Capacity

The golden ratio of cost and capacity for now is 500GB and 1TB.

For gaming or professional programs that require a lot of space for their installation, a capacity of at least 500GB is recommended. 

As an indication, a 1TB hard drive can hold about 250 thousand photos taken with a 12MP camera or 250 movies.

Form Factor
M.2 (Type 2280)

Form Factor

The term form factor refers to the physical size of SSDs. The motherboard must support the form factor of the SSD in order for it to be installed.


The higher speeds offered by an NVMe drive are mainly applicable to demanding applications (such as high-definition video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and are not necessary for everyday use.

M.2 (Type 2280)
The motherboard must support the form factor in order for the SSD to be installed on it. It is worth noting that M.2 drives are divided into those that use the SATA protocol and those that use PCI Express. Of the SSDs that use the PCI Express protocol, most also support NVMe technology, which allows them even faster speeds if supported by the motherboard.

I use it in a system that is open 24/7.
So far, I haven't had any issues. It is very fast in read/write.
I will come back later if anything changes

For the 2 weeks that it lasted, it was excellent. I was forced to use my Samsung which still works after 7 years.

    This review is about the capacity: 512 GB

    Avoid it at all costs. I installed it on an existing system with Windows 11 for installing games and large files. I initialized it properly through the Drive Manager with assign letter, etc., but after a while... it would disappear. Every time you would see the drive at first, read-write OK, but after a few minutes it would vanish. I have racked my brain trying to find a solution, but nothing. Note that it always appeared normally in the BIOS. My system: ASUS Prime B450m a-ii, Ryzen 5 5600G, 16 GB G-skill 3600Mhz Dual DDR4, Windows 11 Pro on a SATA III 120Gb SSD.

    This review is about the capacity: 512 GB

    For the weather I use it, it opens all programs very quickly and overall, for a regular user, it is very decent and fast. It hasn't presented any problems to me and I believe it is a very good economical solution if you want to have an m.2 in your computer and don't want to spend too much money to buy a 500 m.2. Of course, since I have been using it for about 6 months, I am still cautious about how it will hold up over time, but for now, it works just as well as when I bought it
