I am amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

When running tests, the native WD application showed heating up to 61 degrees, I pasted a copper radiator 3 mm thick (checkered) on the thermal tape, the heating decreased to 52 (in tests). In real conditions (games and the rest), heating with a radiator is not higher than 42 degrees. I recommend to buy, but follow the temperature and, if necessary, stick a radiator

Pros

Read / write speed, liked the application from the WD website, good temperature monitoring and after purchase immediately ated the disk firmware easily.

Cons

It’s embarrassing that the disk is bufferless, but in the reviews they write that the speed drops to 400 after recording 10GB continuously, in real life this rarely happens, and 400 corresponds to the speed of a regular ssd
