Western Digital 500GB WD Blue SN550 NVMe Internal SSD - Gen3 x4 PCIe 8Gb/s, M.2 2280, 3D NAND, Up to 2,400 MB/s - WDS500G2B0C

I love this and have recommended Western Digital to friends already. Installed this in my first Computer and it runs like butter. Im always the first of my friends to load into games and I can install and copy files like sonic.

Bought this hoping to add life to my aging Mac Pro (4,1 flashed to 5,1), but drive was not recognized. Replaced with a Sabrent that was recognized immediately. Cant evaluate performance beyond that.

Really disappointing speeds. Nowhere near as advertised, and most definitely not worth the premium over a sata ssd.

Works great

This was my first time purchasing and installing one of these hard drives and it was quite easy to install. As prices goes they are economical though I wouldnt complain if they were cheaper. Wish if WD would include the M2 screws with the HD. Luckily this was a new build and LGA 1200 Motherboard package had screws.

Firstly, this drive is mainly for the average users who wants a huge boost coming from HD or SSD to NVME. Although it is dram-less and may have slower TLC write speeds than its predecessors, does it matter that much to you? The WD SN550 is a very decent drive with excellent (not high end) speeds and relatively reliable with 5-year warranty. I replaced my Samsung 960 nvme 250gb unit with the 1tb sn550 and no regrets at all. Booting up the PC may have been slower by 1-2 seconds but if your computer boots up within 15 seconds, the 1-2 seconds do not matter that much. All I am saying is that it is fast enough for the average user who is looking to gain a lot of storage without sacrificing much of the speed difference. With new PCs only containing 1 storage slots, this is the best value you can get.

theres no screw, what heck? how much cost would a screw be? cheap manufacture..... wouldnt buy if i knew this beforehand.......

Bought this to put in an Acer Aspire A515-46 laptop. The stock nvme is only 128GB. It is easy to install and has given me no problems thus far.

great ebuy
