Works well for games.
For my new PC I wanted two drives. The WD Blue is for the OS and applications, and for gaming I've chosen this WD Green. It's unashamedly on the low-end of NVME drives, but is reasonably priced and still FAR exceeds anything you can do with SATA. Putting it through benchmarks, it meets and even exceeds the advertised 2400MB/s speeds. I've personally seen ~2700-2900MB/s.In most cases, I can't imagine you would need a heatsink for this drive, but on my motherboard, the second NVME slot is right underneath the graphics card, so I actually did install a low-profile heatsink on mine, since anything is still better than nothing here. Highest temps I've seen were in the mid-60s (which is fine, as most drives are good up to 72-75C before they'll throttle down), but usually during gaming it sits around 55-58C, and at idle/light loads it's in the 40s.The box mine came in only listed Windows 7/8/10 as being compatible (whereas the box for the WD Blue lists Windows 11 as well). This could just be due to the fact that this particular drive was manufactured two months before Windows 11's official release, or maybe not, I don't know how far in advance Microsoft started handing around "Window's 11-Ready" certificates or whatever. As I planned on going with Windows 10 anyways, this didn't matter to me. It may not matter at ALL if you aren't going to use it as your OS drive, but I haven't tested that of course, so wanted to bring it up at least.The WD Green lineup has never had the best reputation when it comes to long-term reliability. It was a commonly-held view back when the lineup consisted of just HDDs, and it's still the case today with the NVMEs. That said, this thing is 60 bucks. It has a 3 year warranty. It's only been a month for me, but if it lasts me 3 years, I still think it'll have been worth it, and NVMEs as a whole should be cheaper overall by that point. Still, that reputation is what has relegated it to a "games only" use-case for me, and I think it's perfect for that.

This review is for the 2TB WD SN350. Sometimes Amazon consolidates reviews for different models together and I want to make sure that if you're reading this review, it corresponds to the product that you are considering. I paid $139.99 for it on sale which is a great price for a 2TB M.2 SSD. In addition, for a PCIE Gen3 SSD, it performs near the peak of that gen's capability. I think the fastest possible read speed for gen3 is 3,500mb/s and this drive achieves 3,150mb/s read and 3000mb/s write as shown in the attached pic from my test yesterday. Given its affordable price, this is an excellent result.
One thing to keep in mind is that this is a PCIE Gen3 SSD. There are PCIE Gen4 and Gen5 motherboards that can handle faster m.2 drives capable of 5,000, 6,000 and even 7,000 plus megabytes per second read speeds. Since my laptop's motherboard is PCIE Gen3, I can't take advantage of the faster read/writes of Gen4 SSDs. This is about the fastest I can take advantage of until I upgrade my laptop in a few years. That said, I don't plan on upgrading for a few years and therefore I am not concerned about future proofing my SSD with a faster drive. If you plan on upgrading to a PCIE Gen4 or PCIE Gen5 motherboard soon, or if you currently have one, consider a faster drive, but expect to pay considerably more for it. That said, 3,000 plus read/write is plenty fast and at its current sale price, this is still an excellent deal for any motherboard.
