WD_BLACK 1TB SN770 NVMe Internal Gaming SSD Solid State Drive - Gen4 PCIe, M.2 2280, Up to 5,150 MB/s - WDS100T3X0E

The drive works properly and it performs well. Disappointed it isn’t a true 1024GB drive though. I was unable to use CloneZilla to clone the drive because my existing drive was 1024GB in size and the new WD is 1000gb in size. Seems like a small detail but in trying to resize my partitions to get it to fit ended up corrupting my source drive.

I have four of these now. The WD_BLACK dashboard is great to keep firmware updated and identify performance issues. I have had one for a year as my system drive with zero issues so I decided to go all m.2. These drives are in the Asus Hyper M.2 PCIe card and are working great.

Es PCI 4.0 para aprovechar la máxima velocidad debes tener componentes combatibles para aprovecharlo completo. Es genial

I needed something really fast on a budget, but I also needed at least 500gb of storage. I settled on this one and was not disappointed. It’s very fast and I will definitely buy another one for my next build

The first thing I did was format and speed test in a Startech PCIE adapter. Got 3044MB/sec speed on a 64GB test file with CrystalDiskMark64 which is very fast! I need the speed for recording lossless video with a Blackmagic Intensity Pro 4K. The small random writes are a lot slower as you would expect without built in RAM cache

very fast

When I installed this, I booted machine and windows didn’t recognize it. I was utterly confused and didn’t know what to do. All the tutorials said to “update the drivers in device manager”. Eventually, I found a solution. You need to go to search, “partitions”, the first results should bring up a page where you can create a partition. Then boom, you have your ssd.

I use my PC for heavy software development and this is more than what I need in terms of performance. Its temperature rose only 2 degrees Celsius with heat sink installed when I back up the whole SSD to external hard disk. This is very good. The other Gen 3 SSD of recent model from a very popular Asian brand got 10 degrees hotter when I did the backup. Western Digital does know how to do the data storage right.

these WD SN always works, never had one fail on me. fast and dependable!

One of the fastest consumer M.2 SSD’s with 1024GB of storage for $80?!! And yes, there is a difference in speed between this, and literally anything that uses SATA connections. I would take this over a 3TB Hard drive any day of the week.
