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

Easy to install. Freed up significant space on my C drive.

I swapped out my smaller SSD for this huge 1TB M.2 NVMe drive and could not be happier. Not only does it work slightly faster, it also frees up two cables in the case (since every SATA drive needs both a power and a data cable). I have an MSI B450-A PRO (not PRO MAX) mobo and this is the exact right fit for the M.2 slot.

Buen desempeño

I needed to replace an older 128GB M.2 drive that I use as my boot. This seemed like a great option, as it offers a decent amount of storage for growth in a drive that is mostly used for an OS. After comparing a few different options, I settled on this. Installation was a breeze (other than the tiny screw to secure) and my motherboard immediately recognized it. What a great upgrade. My old M.2 drive was about 5 years old, and it still works well, just was too small. Cloned the drive to the 500GB WD Blue M.2 drive and wow, what a difference. Super fast, boots quicker, runs great.

There is only 1 thing I dont like about this product.

Easy to install. No issues.

The new, faster model is called SN570. The many reviews on this page are for the older model SN550 which is pretty good, but the newer SN570 clearly has better performance. The new SN570 loads games and programs faster. It has less lag (latency) so it feels snappier and more responsive. Several tech websites have tested the new SN570 against the older model (and against other more expensive SSDs).

Ordered this just for my OS and it works great

The boot speed improved considerably before we had a hard drive and it took a long time to boot.

fast and it feels like my computer is reborn
