Silicon Power UD90 2230 SP02KGBP44UD9007 2 TB

Miniature M.2 solid-state drive from Silicon Power with support for the high-speed PCI-E 4.0 interface. It belongs to the entry-level price segment and is a good example of a fast, modern and well-designed SSD for owners of portable gadgets. The M.2 2230 form factor is fully compatible with tablets, ultrabooks, lightweight laptops, mini-PCs and other compact gadgets. Thanks to its modern characteristics and high read speed, it can become a more affordable alternative to gaming drives of the 2230 format from the WD Black series, intended for owners of portable consoles Valve Steam Deck, Asus ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go.

The range of Silicon Power UD90 drives includes options with capacities ranging from 500, 1000 and 2000 GB. In the case of the 500 GB version, the stated read speed is a respectable 4700 MB/s, while writing drops to 1700 MB/s. Thus, the drive will provide benchmark loading speeds for seamless game worlds, which fully meets the requirements of the current generation consoles SonyPlaystation 5 and Xbox Series X. But it will download and install games a little slower than competitors, which, however, is fully justified by its lower cost. In turn, the 1 and 2 TB versions write data almost 2 times faster at a speed of 3200 MB/s. The reliability of the device is confirmed by an official 5-year warranty.
