Old hardrive was slowing down. same size as this WD SSD M.2 2280. Use MACRIUM REFLECT to image. Set up was easier than expected on MSI MAG B550 Motherboard.

Ordered one stick of memory and it was shipped almost right of way -- via USPS.

Very competitive price and good performance.

I ordered this SSD about a month ago for a new PC build-out. An overview of the product on WD's website is at : https://www.westerndigital.com/products/internal-drives/wd-black-sn770-nvme-ssd#WDS250G3X0E, and you can download the datasheet at https://www.westerndigital.com/tools/documentRequestHandler?docPath=/content/dam/doc-library/en_us/assets/public/western-digital/product/internal-drives/wd-black-ssd/product-brief-wd-black-sn770-nvme-ssd.pdf The package containing the power supply was delivered by UPS two days after I placed the order, within the date-period specified on the order confirmation. The primary reasons for choosing this particular Solid State Drive included: ⦁ The SSD is listed as compatible for my MSI motherboard (MSI PRO Z690-A WIFI DDR5 LGA 1700) on the MSI website: https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/PRO-Z690-A-WIFI/support#storage ⦁ The sequential & random read / writes for this item of the Western Digital SSD product line were sufficient for the apps / programs that I plan to run on the PC. ⦁ I thought $99.99 was a reasonable price to pay for a 1TB SSD Installation of this SSD into the M2_1 slot on the motherboard was very easy and took all of 30 seconds. A heat sink provided with the motherboard helps cool the SSD. I've found that if you are upgrading from previous versions of Windows and plan to run Windows 11, you really need to install on, and boot to, an SSD drive. Booting to Windows 11 on a traditional 7200 RPM SATA hard drive is painfully slow by comparison. A 5400 RPM hard drive just crawls - don't do this! I partitioned this SSD to hold the Windows 11 OS in one partition and applications & programs on a second. I did this to separate the OS - where a large number of read/writes occur - from my applications & programs. These rarely get updated, so this partition is mostly read from, but rarely written to. So, once optimized, this partition rarely need re-optimization or trimming. You can download the free Western Digital Dashboard from their website (https://www.westerndigital.com) to measure the drive's performance and conduct maintenance operations on the drive. So far this SSD drive has performed as expected. Under normal operations, it is the hottest component in my system, staying around 55C. Its maximum operating temperature is listed at 85C, so make sure your case fans are configured to ramp up quickly above 50-55C. I'd suggest that anything above 70C would require your case fans to really start shifting air over the motherboard as much as possible to cool the SSD down.

-Fast! -5 Year warranty

EASY TO INSTALL INCLUDES THERMAL STICKER

Very good price/ performance

. I was looking for a reliable high performance 1TB SSD for my small form factor build. This SSD did not disappoint. . Impressive PCIe 4.0 read and write speeds. . The heatsink helps maintain optimal temperatures reducing the risk of thermal throttling. . Nice visual appeal. . Limited 5 year warranty.

So fast you think you're watching a commercial.

Cloned my OS from a 256GB to this for my laptop and it's working fine.

Good drive and speed, nice software with latest firmware. Can't go wrong with Crucial 👍👍 would recommend and buy again 😀

For windows installation

High quality. Fast. Reliable. Fast delivery.

Was worried the heatsink would inpinge on the graphics card, and it was close! Check your measurements carefully. As a happy accident it is now catching air off the graphics card exhaust hopefully its a net cooling but who knows. The heat spreader that came with the MB was useless so I'm glad I got something with a HS already attached. sequential read only is even close to 14K, IOPS read though is 4.7 GB! really nice! And you can tell the speed when installing software or moving data.

Does the job


super fast reading for gaming, comes with a screw in the box in case you don't have one with your motherboard delivery was fast. affordable comes with a heatsink

Ludicrously fast, Decent value, Over-performing

Works with PS5, which was the reason for purchasing, plus a great price.

Packaging was secure, yet easy to open to grab the product. Came with warranty paperwork in multi-languages. Plug & Play, no external drivers needed.
