Good price, too of the middle gen 4 speed. No dram but for basic usage and gaming it’s been flawless. Just make sure you install the official ws and update driver through it else you’ll have annoying uefi issues
Bought this for my Legion Go (2tb version) after the Kingspec 2242 failed after a few weeks due to overheating. You need to use an extender board take it first the 2242 space. Works great but I would highly recommend getting a thin copper heatsink as the drive still gets very warm when gaming.
However so far so good.
Bought to double my steam deck oled capacity. Process was easy, and now have double the storage and it’s nice and quick on performance also. Ideal if you are looking for an upgrade, particularly if they are on offer. Recommended.
Bought this to upgrade my Steamdeck. Simple to fit and works fantastically. Very fast, lots of storage in the 2TB model and at less than 150 I think the price was fantastic. Would highly recommend.
I recently purchased a Samsung Book 2 laptop, which comes with two M.2 SSD slots. The laptop originally came with a 500GB SSD, but I grew tired of constantly relying on an external hard drive due to the limited storage space. I found a great deal on a 2TB WD SSD and decided it was too good to pass up.
Installing the new SSD was straightforward: first, shut down your PC or laptop, insert the SSD into the slot, then power on your device and enter the BIOS to ensure it’s recognized. Next, boot into your operating system (Windows or Linux) and use a partitioning tool to create the necessary partitions.
The performance has been excellent. I transferred around 250GB of data and was very pleased with both the speed and quality. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with the price and performance of this upgrade.
It loads massive games like Red Dead 2 quickly
Please note that it’s all down to the silicon lottery.
It works perfectly and installing windows from a fast flasdrive was so quick I didn’t have time to make a cup of coffee.
However windows seems to boot very slowly. Everything else is fine on it.
this is a great cheap nvme drive for both gaming and as a boot drive, i will update this review if anything changes.
So imagine explaining to 1993-me that in the future data can be stored on something a bit thicker and half the height of a credit card, with unimaginable storage sizes and not a (direct) power cable in sight.
Poor 1993-me would have his mind blown. Probably.
But 2023-me takes all this for granted which takes me back to my review.
Looking at this NVME drive through the lens of history it truly is an amazing demonstration of industrial miniaturisation, standardisation and technological advancements.
Looking at it through the lens of today it’s about exciting as a tin of paint. You order it in minutes, you get it within 24hrs, you stick it in your motherboard and it just works. It is and it isn’t a great, amazing, fantastic, wonderful piece of kit all at the same time.
Recommended? Yes absolutely. Just don’t try to fill it up with programs from floppies unless you have a spare year or two.
Not much to say. Quick effective and easy to install storage. Will make booting into your OS of choice much faster and game loading times will be cut in half over aging hard drives.
This is the fastest SSD I’ve ever had. I installed this in my Samsung laptop to expand the storage it came with, and it worked flawlessly. I cloned my drive using an external M.2 enclosure and it worked right away. The drive is blazing fast and offers a huge about of capacity for the price. Highly recommend!
It’s 2023, a full decade after my last PC build, probably time to try one of these new fangled NVME thingies.
The experience with SATA based SSDs was a case of getting that under 30 seconds Windows boot time nailed, less spinning donuts the better.
The comparable experience with NVME is ‘can my monitor warm up before the PC is booted?’
Is this the ‘best’ NVME? Probably not, the SN850X sits above it in the pecking order for starters. At the speed of these drives, it’s pretty much a case of:
1) Find a trustworthy and reliable brand
2) Find a drive of the right capacity
3) Choose the cheapest
This one fits the bill (or did at the time of purchase!).
Well impressed with the speed of this ssd drive, it’s rated for gaming really, but it adds super speed to my old Lenovo ThinkPad 13. Simple installation procedure, and within an hour I had Windows 10 pro installed and updated. My laptop only has 8GB of memory at the moment, I can’t imagine how faster it would be with the maximum of 32GB of memory available.
This drive on Amazon is almost half the price than buying direct from Western Digital, and with prime delivery I got it the next day.
Drive has WD’s 5 year warranty.
Super reliable unit from my go-to computer storage manufacturer.
Couldn’t be happier with this SSD.
Used on MacOS directly into Mac and via thunderport dock, both speeds are on point.
Appreciate there are lots of factors to consider for this type of set up, but running all my other SSDs via the enclosures I have shows some interesting results vs advertised speeds.
50 for 1TB of SSD that is as fast as my set up can handle: Super happy
I got this at a decent price and it seems to be ok. I am not a gamer and use this PC for work so it wasn’t necessary to get such a fast NVME. Install was straight forward. My MSI Pro motherboard was supplied with a heatsink and thermal pad which I was nervous about sticking on the heatsink and drive but it seems ok.
I use Samsung and Western Digital SSDs and Western Digital HDDs, that have run without an issue. When Amazon ran a deal on this WD SSD, it was time to change to 2TB HDD backup disc, to a 1TB SSD in my main “work horse” computer. As it’s a Gen3 compter it won’t gain the benefit of the Gen4 memory performance, but for backups, it’s more about reliability than outright speed. It sits there at a steady 40 degrees without a heatsink, in a room that is 24 degrees as I type this review. As well as a free download of the Dashboard monitoring software, there is the option for a free download of the Acronis WD True Image app.
Approved! Was looking for and SSD M2 to upgrade my system. So what to say, I’ve got a brand new sealed SSD, perfect price, high performance, screenshot shown is related to my older system with GEN3 M.2 slot, so this GEN4 SSD runs smoothly! I am pretty sure that in GEN4 slot it will perform 100% as it should! A note for those who think to upgrade to SSD for games, if you have a really old HDD, you should definetly get this SSD, you’ll be very surprised how fast games load, you will be in game first! My experience is based on BF2042, so yes, now I get the game loaded x15 times faster and finally can chose a transport)))))
When my WD Green SSD Stopped working I figured why not upgrade it, I bought this initially as a secondary drive but decided to place my OS onto it due to high read write speeds and it’s an absolute dream, can load from full power off to Windows Login in under 10 seconds! 1tb is perfect size and at the price is definitely worth if as both a primary or secondary drive.
What i didn’t know (and handy to know as i was scouring the web for free disk cloning software) is when you procure a WD SSD go to the WD website and download WD dashboard to firstly upgrade the SSD firmware, enable gaming mode and also from here under additional software there is Acronis.
IF you want to clone your existing C drive to replace the one already installed follow the Acronis link and download the Acronis software as you are entitled to this FOC. Acronis true image makes cloning your existing HDD/SSD etc a piece of cake and with software you know isn’t malware/virus ridden. cloning is done in windows and only took about 12 minutes to clone the drive, and have this up and running as the new C Drive.
Bought this M.2 drive as a system disk for a new PC build. 12th gen Intel with a B660 motherboard with 32GB DDR4 3200 CL16 RAM. This is not a gaming PC, I just future proofed a bit. The drive is a simple fit into the PCI-E Gen 4 x4 M.2 slot on the MB. Installed Windows 11 Pro on to it.
You won’t be disappointed with the performance even though it is a DRAM less drive. Windows boots to usable desktop in sub 30 seconds. Word and Excel start seemingly instantly.
I tested the drive using Crystal Disk Mark v8.0.4. Achieved 5223 read, 4950 write.
Recommended for a “admin” PC or even a lower spec gaming rig but only if the price is right. 7000/7300 drives are starting to reduce a bit so worth checking. Overall I am a happy customer.
