CONCLUSION

   Even though DRAM-less M.2 NVMe models belong in the low/mid-end segment of the market the Silicon Power P34A60 512GB was a good surprise not only because it managed to surpass the very similar Helix-L 1TB model by Mushkin but because of its overall price/performance ratio. On top of that add the very good MTBF (2 million hours), the available capacities (256GB/512GB/1TB/2TB) and its 5-year limited warranty and things can’t get much better than this (we would like to see less thermal throttling during our SNIA tests but that can’t be helped when there’s no heatsink and even then things may not improve by much).

   We did mention price/performance so just how much will the P34A60 512GB set you back? Well currently the P34A60 512GB variant (SP512GBP34A60M28) retails for just USD62.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for around 73Euros inside the EU a price tag which is indeed very competitive. Performance, price, endurance and a 5 year warranty are the reasons as to the why we give the P34A60 512GB M.2 NVMe SSD by Silicon Power our Golden Award.
