I've been waiting forever for SP to get their 300 feedback so I can post these cheap but very reliable drives.
Fantastic value.
There are too many drives to post in one deal so I'll split them into a few.

sorted byYou may see a really good review on the Tube and buy it, only for them to use lower spec components one later batches that you end up with. This is quite common scam for these types of low end companies to do as they get the great initial reviews that promote sales and then they later user cheaper components to maximise the profits. I have had person experience of this. So beware of this tactic and don't expect that you will get the same as in the reviews.
They've been around a long time.
It's 20 year old Taiwanese brand that have produced cheap but decent products for 20 years, not some random Chinese company that stick their name on any old crap they find.
Oh, you mean like WD, Crucial, Kingston have all done in the past?
Switching TLC NAND with QLC NAND without even bothering to change the product name/number or telling anyone?
Yeah, those big name brands are so much more trustworty!
Funny in that 20 years, no one has mentioned Silicon Power bait and switching.
Smaller companies tend NOT to do crap like that, they want to build their company, not kill it!
You've made it clear on other deals you don't know a thing.

SP partner with NTI and you can get a free copy of their Echo software to clone a disk to your new SP disk.
The software worked fine for me. There was an odd sign-up on the SP web site to get the software that sends you 2 emails! Other than that everything worked perfectly. When you run the software and the cloning process for me wrote the partition info to the target drive and then reported Win11 restarted to "run and update" but it booted a Linux image and started the second stage of the NTI Echo cloning. I'm cloning from an internal SATA disk (128gb SANDISK) to a 1TB SP SATA drive on a USB3 to SATA Adaptor. The host PC is running Win11 but the NTI Echo seems to support all versions of Windows.

Sit tight, I'm sure they'll get around to it eventually!
Yeah, I thought they'd been around longer. Had a read through their wiki page, they've done well in that time.
They aren't hugely well known over here as all the bigger brands drown them out, but they are much more popular in Asia and America. (edited)
