Greater than one weekWestern Digital provides a free version of Acronis TrueImage made for WD and Sandisk drives that makes it easy and fast to transfer your OS drive to the SN770. Drive is quick and so far reliable. Good value for $119.

> 3 dayIm using this M.2 in a new DELL XPS 8950 Tower (which actually has two M.2 locations for NVMe SSDs. This is working perfecvtly for me in the 2nd (aux) location (It came from DELL with a WD BLACK 1TB in the primary M.2 location, so I went with WD for the 2nd one too, rather than the other popular manufacturer product that I have used in the past).

> 3 dayPCIe SSD speed is never my main concern, they are much faster than the system anyway. This PCIe SSD is for main Windows disk on a office PC. Selecting 1TB because only 200GB or so Windows system will be left on it, main data storage will be on hard drive.

> 3 day$35 for a 500G M.2 SSD? Sign me up. My server only supports PCI gen 3, so the speed doesnt really matter. It was cheaper than a SATA SSD with half the capacity.

Greater than one weekI picked 2 of these up used for ~$200 shipped and they both had low hours / use on them and work better for my Acasis TBU401 enclosure to hit full speeds. I tested with 3 other drives and it just wasnt hitting the numbers I wanted to see. I dug into a ton of reviews and found this to be one of 3 that performed well and decided to pick one up for the enclosure and laptop to replace one of the slower tested ones while I was at it.

> 3 dayI am a PC builder enthusiast. Today the drive was not being recognized by the motherboard. I tried setting the bios back to original settings and it didnt detect a bootable drive. I ordered a replacement drive today. I will adjust my rating if I find a solution to this, but am not certain on the stability of this drive.

> 3 dayI bought this drive to upgrade an existing SATA Samsung 850 EVO 120GB SSD from 2015. Mostly I wanted more space, but I did expect it to be faster. My system is an i5-6600K on an ASRock Z170 Extreme4. That means the nvme is PCI Express 3.0, not 4.0, so my benchmarks are probably not listing the full capabilities of the drive. Also in my screenshot I ran only single-threaded tests, with multi-threaded you can really exercise the parallel capabilities of the drive and its even faster.
