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

Purchased for my hackintosh to replace a Samsung Evo 970 Plus. The WD SN770 500GB boots and operates noticeably faster since changes for recent macOS releases (Monterey/Ventura). It also runs about 10ºc cooler. Very happy with this purchase.

For the price I paid, this is a great deal for gaming. However, if youre a creator or you need an SSD to store large videos, photos and other big files, this is not a good choice because it lacks a DRAM cache. I transferred almost 2 TB at once, including large files, to it and it took much longer than it would compared to one with DRAM.

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.

Perfect for my pc build, works perfect and great price. Specs are rtx 4080, ryzen 9 5950x

This drive was a bit of a nightmare to get working in my new hp laptop. I installed it, the bios could see it, but windows installer could not. Ended up having to hunt down Intel rst vdm drivers to finally get it to work. So keep that in mind when you get to the windows install part.

This is an name drive so it is super easy to install and 1tb is a good start for a simple gaming rig. Keep about 100gb free for the drives internal housekeeping and youll have smooth sailing for years to come.

Its a good product and the second cheapest Gen 4 SSD I could find for the money. Its not as fast as Gen 4 SSDs from Samsung or Sabrent but I still like it.

Use for main gaming rig, Perfect fit and speed for my OS.

So far so good, plugged it into my laptop and it recognized it and I am up and running again

Excelente, el producto funciona muy bien.
