Western Digital 500GB WD Blue SN550 NVMe Internal SSD - Gen3 x4 PCIe 8Gb/s, M.2 2280, 3D NAND, Up to 2,400 MB/s - WDS500G2B0C

Ive been using this for about two years now and I would recommend it for intermediate to tech-savvy people. If you know how to install this and boot it up, its a breeze, if not maybe go for something more plug and play. With that said, without using specs, this drive is particularly fast for what it is and I look forward to keeping it around.

Excelente y muy rápido

This is the first solid-state drive Ive had it this type. Ive got to say, Im pretty impressed. With the physically small size of this drive, and the capacity of 500 gigabytes, and the fact that its fast as Greased Lightning, Ill never go back to a standard Drive! The drive itself is easy to set up, no special software needed, and Windows Disk Management had no problem seeing and setting up the drive. Currently, Im using this in an external enclosure to transfer files between computers. This is way more convenient than the old Styles external drive I had. My old driveway at about a pound and a half and this one is just a couple of ounces. I cant wait until my next home computer build when I will make certain to choose a motherboard that will be able to use drives like this. The speed is amazing. If you do use this in an enclosure, you will probably notice as I did that it does build up a little bit of heat. Just having the enclosure plugged in, over time it gets warm to the touch. Im sure this is the nature of the Beast, but its not exactly comforting. Next time I choose an external drive enclosure, I will make sure to get one with a heatsink on the external.

Upgraded from a 7200 rpm HDD and the difference is so drastic I want to buy another one of these, amazing value and extremely fast.

I have no complaints with this product. It installed easily and my OS is very responsive. Nice

Its very fast. Write and read transfer speeds are awesome.

This product actually gives one TB of space and makes the computer run smoothly for gaming and streaming movies.

La tecnología busca ser más velos y más capacidad de almacenamiento en menos espacio, y eso es lo que lograron, trabaja de maravilla

Holy moly, this thing is fast. I leapfrogged SATA SSDs and went straight from a 2.5 5400 RPM SATA hard drive to this. The old drive managed 80 MB/s read in udisks / Gnome disk tool. This does 3200 MB/s. It feels that much faster. Xubuntu boots instantly. Firefox launches instantly. I basically never have to wait for the disk anymore. For some additional reference points, the fastest hard drives Ive benchmarked are WD Blacks. Those are 3.5 7200 RPM drives and do about 150 MB/s read. I now have a 2.5 SATA Crucial SSD in a secondary machine that does 540 MB/s read. So this NVMe disk is almost 6x faster than the second fastest drive Ive seen. Crazy. I installed this in an ASRock DeskMini H470 mini PC and have been using it daily for seven months. No issues so far. 1 TB still feels like plenty of storage.

its a nice and quick storage device but its a little hard to install if you dont know what you are looking for
