Product Description
3D NAND Technology for Enhanced Reliability and Power Efficiency
Applying the advanced 3D NAND flash, Ace A55 features higher reliability and better power efficiency than traditional SSDs equipped with 2D NAND flash. The A55 offers improved endurance and longer battery life that you're able to work longer without frequently recharge your laptop.
High Transfer Speeds for Fast Start Up
Powered by high quality controller and original synchronous NAND flash, the A55 delivers incredibly high transfer speeds that enable short boot time, fast application loading and quick file processing.
SLC Cache Technology for Performance Boost and Longer Lifespan
The A55 especially applies the ”SLC Cache technology” that allows all data to be written in the SLC portion first and leads to higher peak writing performance. In addition, the technology can reduce write amplification and thus offer better endurance and longer lifespan of the SSD.
Free-download SSD Health Monitor Tool - SP Toolbox Software
The A55 comes with a free-download SSD health monitor tool - SP Toolbox Software, which is especially designed for you to easily monitor the current health status of a SSD. By such, you can run a performance test, get an overall health evaluation and check detailed information about your SSD, including used space on device, device temperature, total bytes written, S.M.A.R.T. status, erase count status and block numbers.
*Please download the software at SP Official Website.
Absolutely Reliable with Bad Block Management
The A55 is built with Bad Block Management, which can continually monitor and replace bad blocks to keep your system in good condition with prolonged lifespan of a SSD.
Multiple Techniques Supported
The A55 is one of the lightest and thinnest SSD of its kind yet it is shock- and vibration-proof since it contains no moving parts. Furthermore, S.M.A.R.T. monitoring system and ECC technology are equipped to promise higher data transmission safety.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The reliability of SP's devices that I saw at work convinced me to purchase them for my personal use, as well. My "gaming rig" PC has two SP SSDs -- a 1TB and this 512GB -- installed. Both have been rock solid over several years, with regular use.
I can't vouch for the speed as compared to other, higher end SSDs. They are much, much, much faster than spinning HDDs, but most of the machines I've deployed them on have 6, 3, or even 1.5 gigabit SATA busses, which will never reach the kind of speeds that even a slow SSD can provide. Suffice it to say, for general use it is more than acceptably fast, and I haven't noticed any issues whilst gaming.
Definitely recommended for a good, reliable SSD.

Easy to format - I used an external cable and formatted in the PC to make this an external storage source.
The PC picked up it's presence right away.
The size of the SSD is exactly as specified in the selling page.
The disc runs nice and cool and the data tarnsfer rate was as fast as any other disc I own.
Very useful for placing in an old slow Laptop or desktop PC to make it operate much faster.
Price was better than the current competitors and the SSD itself is every bit as well made.
Happy to recomemnd and will definately consider purchasing again.
1. I purchased this SSD to use it as an external Ventoy bootable drive for booting iso files from it.
2. Good drive. Speed is as advertised.
3. Ventoy and bootable iso files work fine and both Windows & Linux OS & other recovery software boots up speedily from this external drive.
4. TBW (total terabytes written before drive goes bad) for this drive is good at this price range i.e 250 TBW.
5. The drive is made of metal and good quality plastic and feels sturdy but is still lightweight.
Crucial drives are also of the same price range and Crucial's quality is also good but TBW is significantly less for BX500 for 512 GB drive i.e 120 TBW. Even Crucial MX500 at a higher price range gives 180 TBW for 512 GB drive.
Recommended purchase.
