Western Digital 1TB WD Blue SN570 NVMe Internal Solid State Drive SSD - Gen3 x4 PCIe 8Gb/s, M.2 2280, Up to 3,500 MB/s - WDS100T3B0C

I used this SSD along with a Sintech NGFF M.2 nVME SSD Adapter Card to upgrade the storage to my brothers 2015 MB Air. I wont get too technical here since you can google or watch youtube videos on the subject. To summarize, I upgraded from 256GB to 1TB of storage, and dont experience any of the sleep/hibernation issues being reported on certain Macbook models. Ive tested this by sleeping the Macbook for 30 mins, 1 hour, 3 hours, and overnight, and it never crashed once. Im not sure why that happens to certain Macbooks but for me this adapter is a WINNER. Read & write speeds are also much faster than that of the genuine Samsung SSD that Apple uses. I dont have the info, but numerous tests have been done online and I can verify that my Macbook is definitely faster than in its stock condition. Theres no reason not to make the upgrade in my opinion.

Upgraded my pops PC from a bulky AMD A10-7860K ATX system with HDDs to a Core i3 10100 Thin Mini ITX system with NVMe, is like going from a bicycle to a racing car and uses like a tenth of power too. This drive is great for those scenarios where gaming is not involved.

If your system supports an NVMe SSD and you don’t have one, buy one. For real. This is insane. I went from 500MB/s SATA to this, and it is almost as big a jump as going from a spinning rust HDD to an SSD. Booting is so fast now. Seriously, this is way to inexpensive not to. Pull the trigger, you won’t regret it!

To start up my PC

Worked great. Installed fresh Windows 10 with no issues.

My xbox series x wont let me store games on this via USB 3.2 enclosure. It recognizes it as multimedia storage only

I bought this used wanting to save some money for my build but upon installing it and getting everything running, it doesnt work properly. The computer recognizes the storage but wont save absolutely anything to it. I attempted everything sort of trouble shooting under the sun and it still wouldnt store anything. I ended up just buying a brand new ssd from a other brand and it worked as expected.

WD Blue is a good price and reliable after using 2 months. It suites my use with notebook pc that only had 60 gb ssd. So far so good and it does not create any heat issue with notebook pc with win11.

Good stick

Not much to say here. Boringly reliable. Easy to install. Far faster than an old school mechanical drive. Solid value.
