FULL STORY
======================================================================Silicon 
Power US75 SSD review 

I have the Silicon Power US75 in the labs  a Gen4 NVMe SSD that offers 
high-end performance for mainstream builds without trying to get too fancy. 
It slots into the middle of the Silicon Power range and is one of the cheaper 
7GB/s-class Gen4 drives available. Its aimed at creators and gamers who are 
after fast yet affordable PCIe Gen4 storage. 

The 1TB US75 (as tested) is rated for 7,000 MB/s sequential reads and 6,000 
MB/s sequential writes  making it a good fit for handling large media files, 
giving fast game access or other storage-heavy tasks. (Image credit: Future) 

The US75 is a single-sided module and uses the Maxio MAP1602 controller that 
offers decent efficiency. 

While currently hard to find in every capacity (depending on your location), 
Silicon Power offers it in 500GB, 1TB, 2TB or 4TB versions. The endurance is 
300 TBW for 500GB, 600 TBW for 1TB, 1,200 TBW for 2TB and 2,400 TBW for the 
4TB drive. That's pretty normal endurance for this class of drive and if you 
need higher, look at the Silicon Power Xpower XS70 , which tops out at 3,000 
TBW for the 4TB model. 

The US75 is backed by a 5-year warranty, which is typical for a mid-range 
drive, but is better than most budget offerings. (Image credit: Future) 

In CrystalDiskMark, the US75 hit 7,356 MB/s sequential reads and 6,233 MB/s 
writes, and the real world profile (which mimics everyday file work more 
closely) gave 4,412 MB/s reads and 5,806 MB/s writes. 

Using the Blackmagic speed test, I got 5,847 MB/s reads and 5,626 MB/s 
writes. In Iometer, the drive gave 690k read IOPS and 982k write IOPS  a 
great result that keeps up with pricier Gen4 drives. 

Even in sustained runs, the US75 stayed reasonably cool despite the lack of a 
heatsink, but adding one is still a good idea for hot gaming builds and 
must-have for PS5 upgrades. You can get the US75 in a variant with a heatsink 
(and it's also PS5 compatible), but while readily available in the US, it's 
harder to find in the UK and rarely seen in Australia. 

All in all, the Silicon Power US75 gives excellent Gen4 speeds at a price 
that few other drives can match. Silicon Power US75 SSD review: Price & specs

US75 SSD? Buy it if 

 You want a fast yet affordable SSD upgrade 
The US75 gives great bang for buck and compares well with similar performance 
drives. 

 You want peace of mind 
The US75 comes with great endurance numbers and a long 5-year warranty, so 
you can depend on it for a long time. Don't buy it if 

 You want ultimate performance 
The US75 is fast, but performance is capped by the Gen4 interface. For PCIe 5 
speeds, consider the Silicon Power US85 . 

 You need very large capacity 
The US75 maxes out at 4TB, so if you need more storage, then consider the 
Silicon Power Xpower XS70 , which has models up to 8TB. Silicon Power US75
