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

Migrated all my games from a Crucial MX500 6gb sata 3 2.5 SSD to this NVME drive. Everything runs smoothly and as expected. Yes, theoretical speeds are much faster on an NVME drive and synthetic benchmarks and tests are all fine, but there are other limitations that mean this is about the same speed I was already getting on my 2.5 sata SSD. Im very pleased. Pricing was a touch high but about right at around $120. This goes for about the same as the crucial SSD I migrated everything to. This is running really well and was formatted and scanned with no bad sectors (but its only a week or two old!). Running with a 2080ti, I7-10700k and MSI Z490 motherboard, no issues. Drive runs cool at around 32c, same as my SSD drives. Overall, great value drive for games. Well see how it holds up over time. Id like to see 1TB closer to $100- if you can get it at that price, do!

Muy buen desempeño en mi laptop HP-245-G7

very well

I purchased this item to put as a secondary drive to install Ubuntu 20.04 on, and it works perfect. Solid performance and really good price/size ratio for nvmes

Amazing for the price

After formatting the drive on Windows 10 the capacity is 931GB. This was expected but important information. It took a bit to figure out how to format the drive as a second SSD and not the main boot drive. I couldnt do this from the ASUS BIOS and had to research how to do it on Windows. Drive works at reported speeds and has worked flawlessly since the formatting.

When I first order this m.2 I was waiting for the rest of my parts. Slowly, my parts were coming one by one. Sadly I wasnt able to post so I had a buddy of mine come over with a build that is similar to mines and began testing them. When we got to the m.2 we both realized that the m.2 wasnt resigtered in the BIOS. So I asked for a replacement. I continued to test my parts and finally a POST happened. Though since I asked for an replacement for an m.2. I decided to upload the OS to my PNY SSD. Now migrating the OS was a easy since I used the free software Macrium Reflect. Using this tool you need a flash drive where youll create a rescue boot to fully transfer the OS. I had to use my laptop to download the rescue boot. Then finally my replaced m.2 has the OS and the ssd is back to my original use.

First m.2 Ive installed. Super easy. Pefer this over ssd Sata.

Easy to install, super fast

As described. It arrived in a sealed WD box. Easy install (once initialized.)
