Pros: - Excellent speed for the price (3500mb read and 3000mb write) - Pushes PCI-E 3.0 to the limit - Great product support - Excellent warranty - Quality product - Fast boot speed and game loads - Fastest read speed for PCI-E 3.0

Cons: - Very little cache - Slower sustained write speed

Overall Review: This basically comes down to which version of PCI-E your motherboard supports. If you can support a PCI-E 4.0 (gen4) then I wouldn't buy this drive. If you are like me however, and your computer only supports PCI-E 3.0 (gen3) then this drive is an excellent choice not only for it's budget price but also for it's performance. I installed Windows 11 in under 20 minutes, and that's from start to finish, where you're logged in and on the desktop. There are probably other PCI-E 3.0 drives available with faster write speeds but this is the fastest read speed out of all PCI-E 3.0 (gen3) nVME SSD drives (confirmed by multiple websites that did testing) Western Digital makes quality products and I am always satisfied with my purchases. This is a budget drive but it's also fine for gaming as well. There's nothing worse than a person who buys a budget drive and then comes and complains how slow it is. If you want more speed, go spend more money, it's as simple as that. You get what you pay for, this is true for most things in life. If your computer supports PCI-E 4.0 (gen4) or higher, go buy a drive that is compatible with that instead of putting a 3.0 drive into a 4.0 motherboard. I replaced the 512gb drive that came with my laptop and there is not really any difference in speed, even though the 512gb drive was Samsung and had a larger cache, I never really noticed a difference between the two. I now have two WD Blue drives in my laptop, the 1TB SN570 is my main drive and I have a 1TB SN550 for a secondary drive. I am happy with my purchase and you will be too.

Pros: Pretty fast for a WD Blue NVMe SSD. Sale price also made it an attractive buy.

Cons: I wish All the NVMe Mfrs would supply the mounting screw with their products.

Overall Review: Definitely would recommend this product. Good price to performance ratio.

Pros: Faster than SSD. Good capacity for the price.

Cons: No DRAM cache which make it slower for certains operation. - This info should be on the product description page. Does not come with the screw needed to secure it. You have to find the one that was provided with your motherboard... Lost it? good luck finding one that fit.

Overall Review: This is a nice affortable drive. It is not as fast as other drive but fast enought for every day use. I would certainly buy again. My main issue is with the shipping. I ordered from newegg because I was supposed to get the drive in less than 2 days. Purolator got the drive on the 20th, stalled with it in toronto for 3 days and then sent it to quebec city... Newegg, you should really use an other carrier. This is not the first time Purolator failed me. I might buy from an other vendor next time, just because of that.

Pros: The best part of this drive is the coast one of the cheapest drives in this size. The other great thing is that this thing performs great for this price range.

Cons: Its only 500GB?

Overall Review: If you are looking for a good 500GB boot drive I would get this one.

Overall Review: I would recommend this product to anyone.

Pros: Speed of R/W and storage

Overall Review: This is a great little drive that does what its designed to do and does it fast!

Pros: At 81 USD, it's pretty hard to beat this price performance for casual use. Still waiting for my GPU to come in to see how a NVMe compares to a SATA III 6.0Gb/s SSD.

Cons: Wish this came in a 2TB option

Overall Review: Definitely a good deal if you can get this now or if it dips back to 81 USD or less.

Pros: Noticeably fast compared to my old Crucial Mx300 6gb's Sata SSD.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Great product, i got mine in less then 24 hours after ordering.
