Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

The order was made on 02/05/2023, the courier could already be called the next day 02/06/2023. Cost (5500) with a promotional code and . Declared speeds on the WD website: Write 3000MB/s, Read 3500MB/s (see screenshot). Connected, initialized in GPT markup, formatted in NTFS. In the CrystalDiskMark test, the indicators match those declared on the official website of WD (see screenshot). I compared the performance with the Samsung 970 Evo Plus SSD (taken from the proSSD channel) - about the same, somewhere even better (see screenshot). Under load, my MAX heated up to 44 degrees (under the radiator from the ASUS ROG STRIX B550-A GAMING motherboard). At idle 36-37 degrees. When copying from HDD to this SSD, the speed is kept at 130-160MB/s. When copying from a Sata SSD to this SSD, the speed jumped 2-480MB / s for the first half, the speed stabilized and stayed at the level of 495-507MB / s for the second part of the copy - I don’t know if this is good or bad, but I expected a little more numbers, at least 600MB/s (SATA III line limitation). I don't know much about SSDs so don't be rude

Pros
  • In synthetics, it shows good results, at the level of Samsung. It does not get very hot under the stock radiator from a non-top motherboard.
Cons
  • No mounting bolt included. There is no radiator. 1 year warranty - looks like a parallel import. The box itself says 5 years.
