    Great little SSD!
    Long ago purchasing a HHD over 500GB was a big deal and expensive. Next getting a USB thumb drive over 256MB was a big deal and expensive. Then 2.5in SATA SSD revolutionized the PC system boot up time, but when they launched only 64GB, 128BG & 256GB were available for steep prices, I paid $350+ MSRP for my first 128GB SSD, 3 years later I bought a 500GB SSD for ~$250 available retail came out and ONLY for Operating System boot up, a secondary HHD was required. But Windows XP required a fresh OS install, no Macrium Reflect to clone a drive until ~2017, while XP would not function after replacing a couple of hardware, forcing a fresh install to function. Windows 7 at least stored your old system in a back-up folder.But now we can use Windows 10, change any hardware, and it will boot with a driver update. I easily cloaned my Win10 boot drive to this 1TB Western Digital Blue M.2/NVMe Board Mounted SSD for ~$100 ! WOW ! So Exciting ! Even FASTER boot up now !I have this 1TB WD Blue boot drive, and 22 TB of WD Red & Purple HDD storage on my Network, but I can work on large files from my PC without any problem requiring a save to the network anymore. Hello speed I love you!My old 128 and 500 SATA SSD are now useless paper weights.Current PC build:• AMD Ryzen 7 3800XT 8-core/16-Threads.• EVGA GeForce RTX-3060.• ASUS ROG Strix B450 ATX Motherboard.• 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO Desktop Memory.• 1TB Western Digital Blue M.2/ NVMe Internal SSD, Gen3 PCIe 8Gb/s, up to 2,400 MB/s.• Seasonic FOCUS GX-650, 650W 80+Gold Full-Modular PSU.• 3x SilverStone AB120R 120mm PWM Addressable RGB Case Fans.• EVGA PowerLink, PCI-e 12volt power adapter, part # 600-PL-2816-LR (EVERYONE should be using this on their GPU).• Stock AMD Wraith Prism CPU Cooler; with a Copper Base & 4 Heat Pipes.This build benchmarked in the 92nd percentile of current PC's in the world. Only the very wealthy (or foolish), buy a 3080/3090 GPU, AMD 5950x, an intel i9-11900k. Full crazy purchase an AMD Threadripper or Intel Xeon.

    I'd buy this drive again for sure.

    More than 2 years later, this drive has performed flawlessly and with excellent read/write speed. I use it primarily for game files that need to be accessed quickly while running the games via Steam, Epic, Robot Cache, etc.

    As for installation, well....it was incredibly easy! Basically plug and play on my Windows computer with ASUS motherboard. Make sure you have the proper port on your motherboard before buying, though. Some don't have it. Some have two and you need to use a specific one first. Just check yours out first, but then don't hesitate to buy this drive once you know you have a spot for it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't Disappoint; Just Do Your Research!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2020
    Capacity: 1TBVerified Purchase
    My old Samsung 850 EVO 250gb SSD boot drive was consistently getting too full so it was time to upgrade. This is my first NVME drive and it does not disappoint. Plenty of storage and it's nice and fast. Sure there are faster NVME drives out there but for general use you don't really need anything faster than this (And you probably wouldn't notice a big difference anyway). It was super easy to install in the system and I like that there are no power or data cables to mess with.

    A couple counter-points based on other peoples reviews:
    1) It does not come with a screw to secure it to your motherboard. This is not Western Digital's fault, stop blaming them or any other drive manufacturer for that matter. The screw should be supplied by your motherboard manufacturer (if you built your own system) or your system builder (if you bought a pre-built PC)
    2) Cloning Software: Several buyers complained that this does not come with software to clone your old drive to the new one. Free software is available and Western Digital could have done a better job advertising this. They have a free version of Acronis True Image WD Edition Software available to on their website anyone can download. Personally I would recommend doing a clean install anytime you replace your boot drive to clean out old junk you don't use anymore and make your system perform better overall. If you choose to reinstall a fresh copy of Windows 10, get the Media Creation Tool from Microsoft and use it to make a bootable USB drive. Just make sure to plug it into a USB 2.0 port when you install. Using a USB 3.0 port sounds like it would be faster but it's not, it will result in the install processing getting stuck, trust me...

    I also encourage you to do your research before purchasing, studying my motherboard manual a little closer would have saved me a little frustration. You may find yourself in a similar situation.
    My motherboard (Gigabyte Z170X - Gaming 5) has two M.2 slots. I could only get it to boot to Windows from one of the slots, the other would recognize the drive for storage it just wouldn't boot from it.
    The slot it requires me to use to boot also disabled 4 out of the 6 SATA ports on the motherboard (as the NVME drive now used those PCI-E channels to communicate). This meant I had to reconfigure how my other drives were plugged into the motherboard and I ultimately had to unplug three of my other SATA devices since they had nowhere to plug into. Again, not the NVME's fault; it's a configuration issue I should have seen coming.

    Overall, this is a great drive for the price and I'm looking at purchasing another one in the near future for the second M.2 slot on my board.

    Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2021

    This is a great SSD and has been very reliable and very fast in my PC. The install was a bit tedious since it's a small piece of hardware, and I was adding this to my PC as a secondary drive and didn't want to go through the process of removing my graphics card and CPU heatsink tower, so I just had to work in a very tight space, removing only the Wifi PCI-E card that is lined up with the top M.2 slot. For reference I'm using a MicroATX ASRock Steel Legend B450M motherboard. I managed to get the SSD in its slot, but then realized it doesn't come with the teeny tiny screw you need to hold the end in place. Luckily it was one of the screw and bits I had saved in the motherboard box after building the PC a couple years ago.
    I will say, trying to get that microscopic screw into an equally miniscule hole made me wish I had taken the whole darn thing apart, but after dropping it onto the motherboard and retrieving it with tweezers several times, I did get it into the standoff hole and got the M.2 card secured. After that I booted right up and it was instantly recognized and I just followed the instructions to get it formatted right, and now it's holding a bunch of Steam games.

    I definitely recommend this card, the price is definitely worth it to me. Just either install it when you're building your PC or make sure you have the tiny screws handy. Also the speed has only ever been very fast and I've never had an issue waiting for a game to load.

    We purchased the Western Digital 500GB WD Blue SN550 NVMe Internal SSD to upgrade our laptop from 256 to 500GB. The install was fast and easy and anyone with a good screwdriver can install this board into a laptop. The Western Digital 500GB board is an excellent and high quality component that will immediately upgrade your machine and make your laptop more versatile. We recommend this board as it's high quality, fast responding, and is moderately priced! It sure beats having to buy a new laptop.

    Excelente M.2 de WD, tenían solo 500gb en mi PC cuando la arme y para tener tanto cable mejor opte por otro M.2 ya que mi mobo tiene dos puertos. Hasta el momento me ha funcionando perfecto, tengo varios juegos guardados en este y me abren muy rápido, lo recomiendo mas si lo encuentran en oferta, a mi me costo 2k lo cual es buen precio por la capacidad que te ofrece.

    Produto veio na caixa original, com nota fiscal e chegou antes do prazo final. Destaque para a loja CellTronics que além do citado acima, se preocupou em entrar em contato para ver se tudo esta certo. Recomendo não só o produto como a loja 5 estrelas.
