The best product, from those that I have viewed, I advise everyone!

I'll throw off all the tests later) while I'm satisfied) Some pros: Packed well. Works fast, loads very fast. Recording too! I'm satisfied! For such an amount as 4005 with all promotional codes, this is a gift of fate) Its cons: There is no screw in the kit, but for the benefit of my not cheap motherboard, there was a screw to fasten nMVE.

The right product for me, there were no problems.

Bought in aliexpress for 3700r For this price it's just great. Transferred windows using acronis true image. Everything immediately started up and started on asus b450m plus gaming and ryzen 7 1700x

Pros
  • Price. Bought for 3700. Good speeds. Great recording resource. Warranty 3 years.
Cons
  • No screw included.

Great product, best quality.

I took it in GSM Butik. The price is not bad, there is payment by card. Thanks to the store for the excellent product. Test of a blank disk in the photo.

Pros
  • -Speed ​​of reading and writing. -Relatively low price for the quality you get (especially during the period of high prices for PC components).
Cons
  • For a month of use, I did not reveal any shortcomings.

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

Photo speeds. For black, it seems to me, it makes no sense to overpay. I thought I wouldn’t see a difference with an SSD, but it is, Win10 loads for 3 seconds.

Pros
  • I bought, installed, transferred the image with Acronis from the WD website, everything worked. The board is tiny, under the second screw. Heating in idle 38 degrees.
Cons
  • Not yet

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

fire speed! Win7 loads in 5-7 seconds (before that there was a Kingston SATA3 SSD, it loaded in 15-20 seconds), + 5-8 fps in GTA 5. There were problems with initialization on win7, she didn’t see it point-blank, but the BIOS saw the solution found and installed here:

Pros
  • The speeds are close to the declared ones.
Cons
  • There is no bolt in the kit, I didn’t have my own, I got tired of looking.

Review on SSD WD Blue SN550 NVMe M.2 500GB (model code WDS500G2B0C). SSD is positioned as a mid-range drive, ie. it is faster than an SSD with a SATA interface, but noticeably inferior to the top-end NVMe SSDs. CONFIGURATION: WDC WDS500G2B0C-00PXH0 M.2 500GB; Firmware 211210WD. Windows 10 Pro [build 19041]; NTFS (4 KB); win driver. Intel i5-10400F; ASRock Z490 Phantom Gaming 4; RAM 32.0 GB. SPEED: Test results in pictures. Real write speed on large files: reading - 1.35 GB / s; recording - 1.5…

Pros
  • As it should be with an SSD compared to an HDD - high speed, silence, light weight and dimensions. Reliable manufacturer. A useful (and free :)) utility is available - Acronis True Image for Western Digital.
Cons
  • In some cases, the write speed is 3 times lower than what WD promises.

I like it, thanks for the quality product.

Different pros: Speed, ease of installation, low heating. The system after this upgrade has changed. Different cons: Not very convenient proprietary software from WD for cloning an old drive. The utility from Samsung in my opinion is much more convenient.

I am very happy with this purchase, I will advise everyone!

Not the fastest NVMe SSD in nature, but quite good for its price range. More than enough for normal user scenarios. On the board, the Z97K does not give out all the possible speed due to the cut bus, but even so it works noticeably faster than the SATA SSD. Games with large open worlds (FarCry, Assassin's Creed, Rage 2, The Witcher, Cyberpunk) run great, without any of the stutters they have when installed on the HDD. In general, what I wanted, I got. Considering the sale price, it's great!

Pros
  • Nimble Great price (4K with a discount on the Market)
Cons
  • Until I discovered
