As expected, the 1TB version of the P34A60 mainstream SSD from Silicon Power does trade punches with its 512GB counterpart and in some cases, it even succeeds to keep performance steady for longer thanks to the included SLC cache. When writing to the drive continuously or copying very large files, the cache will eventually fill up, but the speed won’t drop under 108MB/s, as we have noticed by running the HD Tune Pro write benchmark.

Due to implementation of HBM (Host Memory Buffer), the caching of the drive is further improved, but depending on the rest of the computer performance, the results may vary. In terms of pricing, this drive can be found online for about 132 Euros, which is a very competitive price versus the competition. This drive is great to be used as primary with mainstream computers but also as a secondary, storage drive for different projects or running games for low loading times between levels.
