Western Digital WD Blue SN550 NVMe M.2 2280 500GB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) WDS500G2B0C

Pros: Plugged it in , so much faster then i'm used to. really happy so far

Cons: None yet, though just installed.

Overall Review: Really happy so far. I'll give it a while to see . Kinda funny. Review got flagged for unacceptable words. I said ,I plugged it in and scre**d it down.

Pros: - It performs about 5 times faster than my old SATA SSD drive and about 20 times faster than my 7200RPM Drive - Western Digital has a drive transfer utility on their website, which was very simple and easy to use to move my old primary drive's data to this one. - The drive was new according to statistics from power on time and number of boot cycles. All health checks passed.

Cons: - Make sure to read your motherboard's manual before installing an M.2 drive. Some ports operate faster than others, and some disable certain SATA sockets when used.

Overall Review: Stats from CrystalDiskMark (1 GB test, 5 passes): Sequential Reads: 2452 MB/s Sequential Writes: 1999 MB/s Random Reads: 1690 MB/s Random Writes: 1193 MB/s

Pros: I am a PC building noob, this is super easy to install and my computer boots up in seconds.

Cons: None so far, it will be nice when the 2TB cards drop in price

Overall Review: Awesome storage, no complaints.

Overall Review: I was in the market for a 1-2 TB SSD and say this come in at a fantastic price. Benchmarks show it's not the fastest on the market but probably has the best price/perf ratio. Was able to clone my previous entire 500GB (nearly full) SN500 NVME SSD in 25 minutes. Plug and play functionality using MSI B450i and Ryzen 3700X. No disappointments here.

Overall Review: Title says it all. I don't regret using one of these for my boot drive, despite it being a bit more expensive than a SATA SSD. Highly recommend putting your OS and essential programs on this if you're doing a new build and can afford spending a little extra.

Pros: -Love this new form, so tiny and convenient!

Overall Review: -no issues so far, new system has been running for about a week

Pros: Fast system boot, fast write speeds, easy install

Cons: none (so far)

Overall Review: I got the 500GB version and it has been great. I boot my system in less than 12 seconds, I can write files quickly, and I don't see any problems with thermals. The memory has been stable, it has been sufficient for work (I keep games and media on different drives), and it compares strongly to my other drives from Wester Digital. I recommend this product, and for the price I got it at, I don't think there was a better drive on the market at the time.

Pros: Fast reads and writes.

Cons: Not as fast as a firecuda or western digital black.

Overall Review: This is a great gaming drive for the money. Some may say you need a firecuda or western digital black, but I’m happy with the performance of this drive. I own 2 for gaming.
