Wow. This drive is a little pocket rocket - according to the benchmarks anyway! Mush faster Reads than the Samsung 960 NVME I have in my main PC and that cost more than twice as much at the time. Please see attached screen dump to see what I've been achieving with this. In actual real world stuff, I haven't noticed a massive difference but then it was upgrading a fairly decent Samsung SATA SSD and I've only been using Windows rather than copying files around and stuff like that.I didn't realise that this isn't the full size M2 design but slightly smaller - I can't remember the codes for the different M2 sizes off the top of my head - so make sure your motherboard has the option for mounting the different sized cards or you won't be able to fit this.My board is pretty recent so had a movable mount point, thank goodness as I didn't spot the size difference when ordering.I wanted the model with the heatsink as my motherboard doesn't have it's own one and if these things get too hot it can have an impact on performance. I think it was only an extra tenner for this version which seemed cheaper than the aftermarket heatsinks and is much more secure.Someone mentioned that the software has loads of ads. I've only fired it up once to check the firmware etc. and must confess to not noticing any ads - they might be there but I didn't see them. Anyway, you don't need to run the software for anything anyway so if they are there, shouldn't be a problem unless you're always staring at the software for some reason.I bought this to replace the SATA SSD as I need that in an older machine so this was not a performance upgrade per se. But, the synthetics are amazing and my Diskmark result has rocketed so I'm sure when I use this a bit more I'll notice the difference. For the price I got it for (£80), this is a great bit of kit. Warranty seems good to boot. Ended up being only slightly more than the WD Blue and for that I got the extra performance and heatsink. Nice!

I had never used any NVMe memory before this review, so I was pleased to get the chance with a free 500gb WD Black SN750 High-Performance NVMe Internal Gaming SSD from Amazon Vine. The memory was a compact board that simply slotted into a free NVMe holder on the motherboard. The memory was quickly detected, and up and running in only a few minutes. I have never installed a drive that fast before. Like some other people report, the NVMe didn't have a screw, but my motherboard had spare fitted ready to be used when memory was to be fitted. Check you board before you buy any screws.NVMe memory seems to be a halfway house between normal PC memory, and SSD drives,with the ability to act like any other type of drive for booting etc. I hadn't intended to try this card as a boot drive, but I was so impressed by the fast way it loaded and saved files as a storage drive I just had to try it. It allowed my PC to boot very crisply.My system is used for building and designing Graphics and Animations, and I tend to have a lot of drivers etc loading at boot. Boot time used to take minutes, now using this NVMe it took initially 57 seconds, but I managed to get that down to 35 seconds, I am sure with more care I could get it faster. I have seen reports of under 10 seconds for booting, that might even be possible on my system if I put it into gaming mode and used the BIOS fast boot!The fast SSD’s and older hard drives now feel like they run in slow motion compared to the SN750 drive. I am now moving over my working areas from these ‘old fashioned drives’ to the SN750, and when that fills it won’t be long before I get more NVMe’s and move my SSD’s etc into an archiving role in a NAS! There is a distinctly slow feel to what used to be my fast SSD drives, forget the hard disks they now feel tired. NVMe now rules!

I have to admit to being a little bit of a WD fan boy, and yes I got this unit free for review, so you may think I'm just in love with this unit for no reason, but I went and based on my flawless experience with this device I bought a second for my laptop... That's extremely high praise from me and I can't help but pass on that experience to you lovely readers.The device itself comes in a cardboard outer and simple plastic inner, fitting is simple, the biggest obstacle is when folks don't realise this is an NVMe SSD and you need to fit it to an NVMe SSD rather than just any old M.2 Sata header, so don't get it wrong folks, get it inan NVMe M.2 slot and you will have the best experience ever.So,performance with games like PUBG, Fortnight and World of Warships is excellent, streaming to the same drive as you record game play also flies. Building with Visual Studio has also improved (with my project previously taking 9 minutes now taking just under 6 minutes, just for being rebased from an older SATA SSD to this unit).The performance difference from an SSD SATA is there you can feel it, but you can positively taste it when you run this alongside the a mechanical drive, blazing fast performance.

Very reasonable price and fairly good read write speeds at this price range. There are many to choose from when looking for PCIe NVMe (SATA M.2 are limited to old SATA speeds) but this Western Digital Black looks nice with its integrated heat sink and dark theme. From the use I have had so far it does not really get hot enough to warrant the heat sink but that may be because it has the heat sink and it is working well, I do not know. It certainly looks better on display then an M.2 that is just a bare PCB. It matches perfectly to the colour scheme of my ASUS Prime X570-P and looks like it is part of the board. Be warned, it does not come with mounting hardware. You will need a special M.2 screw and standoff.This is an M-Key drive and its 2280 (which means 22 mm wide and 80 mm long) so check your motherboard specifications to ensure compatibility. Also check that installing the NVMe (which uses a PCIe lane) does not limit your GPU PCIe speed.My GPU is vertical so you can barely see the drive in the pictures but when you do see it it matches very well with a black and white motherboard. In my particular case I would love for the stripes to run the other way but hey.

I've just installed this and started transferring my games to it. Personally as I was already using a SATA SSD drive, I didn't notice too much of a performance increase immediately. I think speeds will be limited by the devices you're transferring to and from, given the bottlenecks are often the slowest device. But loading times and write speeds importantly feel exactly the same as my initial SSD.Installation was super easy. As my motherboard didn't support this card given it was made in 2014, I had to buy a PCI Express adapter. This is around £10 on Amazon and comes with a cute mini screwdriver and screw to secure the card to the board.Then simply plug into a spare PCI Express 3.0 slot and start your PC.The drive was immediately detected so simply required formatting within the 'Disk Manager' tool, then it was ready to use. Formatted capacity was 465 GB.One thing I love about the card is how good it looks. Sadly it won't be seen in most cases, but it's incredible to think hard drives now are this form factor and I'm looking forward to prices dropping to take advantage of ever higher capacities in the future.

I had already bought and fitted the blue version of one of these back in March 2017 when I first got this Acer PC and thus I had no fears that it would not fit and of course the old one would be a backup of the old installation.I used the windows 10 media creation tool to create a USB stick to perform the fresh installation of Windows 10 64 Bit.The SSD slot in my PC is under the slot load DVD and hard drive and one also has to remove the front bezel to get them all out.This Black SSD like my old one comes with no mounting hardware so check you have the small screw to hold it in the slot.It all worked fine and the first thing I went to install was the "Western Digital SSD Dashboard"File Size:174KBVersion: 2.5.0.0Release Date: 04/22/2019That fails looking for two different dll's which it assumes are installed on your PC (you will note the download is only 174Kb) and even after installing a couple of other applications it still fails to find one.It seems to work fine as did the old one but this one should of course be faster.Just rather disappointed about the quality of their software.

although a little expensive this item was well worth the moneyi installed this and a samsung evo 960 NVME into the mini itx build i made for my brother and man o man did this mean NO CABLES were needed,if i had to add a normal SSD or HDD there would have just been a mess of cables to deal withis this a fast drive with imperious read and write sppeds...you bet it is testing the speeds between transfers from this drive to the samsung it impressed me that i could fling a blue ray film from one to the other instantly litteraly in the blink of an eye,(or a mouse click),and vice versa,not only did it manage to transfer a single 3+gb title so quickly but i then tried it with multiple films consistingof about 15-20gb...have never seen storage swap between drives so quickly the green bar just zipped by in secondsa word of advice though if you are transferring from a USB thumb drive the transfer will only go as fast as the thunb drive will allow...so an old USB 2 drive will still only transfer slowly....my point if you want faster thunb drive transfer speed...update your thumb drives as well

Super fast. Make sure you have the tiny screws in your motherboard, and I do n't mean the riser!So in my MSI X470 GAMING PRO motherboard, the only things that wwere installed were the two risers, that look like screws, they look like all you would need, but take one out and look closely at it, it might have a little thread i nthe centre with no screw!MAKE SURE you know this before you purchase as these do not come with any screws. Unit and paperwork ONLY.I can suggest you search for m.2 screw or something on ebay or something. WHY DON'T THEY GIVE YOU THE SCREWS WITH THE DAMN BOARD.Anyway, the performance is great, so 5 stars, ease to install is 4... well let me change that to 2. Because why.Give people the effing screws for the damn item. I blame MSI for this and other MOBO manufactuteres that don't unclude them and I blame Western Digital as well.Great item sitting by itself if you cut all of the installation part out. 5/5 for the item itself.RegardsAsh

It is a great SSD in terms of memory storage and price, but unfortunately from all of the testings, I got nowhere near 3000mb/s. The average being between 1000 to 1300 MB/s writing and 1100 to 1400 MB/s reading on MacBook Pro 13" Mid 2015 (16GB RAM). On many occasions, the fans were kicking in very often even when I was just browsing the web without having more than 3 or 4 tabs open.When it comes to gaming, I don't think there is much to talk about as it made just a slight difference to the performance at games from the Appstore which optimized for Mac, ex. World of Tanks Blitz on mid settings.I'm not sure if I'm the only one who experienced this but if there are more people encountering the same issues,maybe BUYER, try to look for SAMSUNG SSD's based on users' feedback, it is more reliable.

WD came late to the SSD market and after a slow start this is the 3rd version of the Black NVME drive they've released. I already have the 2nd 2018 model.Comparing the 2 you'll notice no difference except a few MB/s here and there.Installation was no different to any other M.2 SSD drive.These drives are faster than the SATA based SSD but whether you'll notice the difference is debatable unless you move huge files around on a regular basis.As a windows boot drive the difference is a second or two. General windows tasks aren't quicker to load.It shines for editing 4k video though - HUGE files.Still the price is good,a 5 year warranty is included and for video editing the drive working very well and should be on your shortlist.

I thought I'd give Western Digital a go since it was cheaper than the Samsung. It's definitely fast but the RYZEN 5G system did not seem as fast as other RYZEN systems I had built. Too many things were different to be sure and I never ran any actual benchmarks. I expect this drive is just as good. Just an emotional attachment to the Samsungs feeling they must be the best.What ever you do make sure you fit an NVME drive in your next system build if you can. The prices are now very similar to SATA SSD. The prices of the 500GB ssd are so reasonable there is no need to get a hdd unless you need 2TB or more of storage.You can build systems with both but it's almost not worth the bother if 500GB is enough.

Perfect SSD storage. My motherboard recognised it straight away, so there was almost no set-up required. I initially installed it as a slave drive for applications, but I was that impressed that I bit the bullet and transferred the entire system to it.Performance is where this product shines, and to say it's blazing fast is an understatement. Load times have dramatically improved on almost every application loading, and in some instances games have improved in overall performance, including better draw distances.For the price I believe it is an absolute steal - and you get a very good guarantee from Western Digital, too.

This is a great drive, with a very long lifespan and excellent speeds. I was initially choosing between this Black and the WD Blue SATA, but the difference in speed and in particular the difference in write cycles makes this a clearly better drive. The Samsung EVO is virtually identical in spec but more expensive, and so not worth the additional cost if you ask me.I had a lot of issues transferring data from my old SATA drive to this — be careful which adapters you use, because BIOS won’t boot to half of them — but that’s not the fault of the drive. Windows suppliers just need to move on from BIOS...

Very fast SSD. I bought this WD model it as I wasn't happy with the performance of another brand of m.2 gen 3 SSD I bought from Amazon. As advertised it will give a maximum read and write of 3000mb/s+. On average you're looking at around 2000mb/s read and 1700mb/s write. I have no idea how I lived without this beforehand; loading anything is nearly instant and games actually perform better in my opinion. If you're thinking of buying one to replace a HDD or even slower SSD, just do it, it's worth every penny.My only complaint is it has only 931gb free. Which is disappointingly lower than 1000gb.

I bought this NVMe to add to my gaming system which was using a 128GB SSD from years ago. There is a massive change to the speed. Windows 10 now boots up in literally 4 seconds, if that. The post screen is up for longer than the boot process!Windows 10 detects it and installs the drivers when installing too, which is excellent.Gaming; well, I am the 1st to load into a game area and wait for the others. Everything is so much faster! I was going to purchase one of the competitor NVMe's but went for the WD one as a "punt". Glad I did. I bought the 2019 version.
