The ratio of price and quality is very pleasing, I will repeat the purchase.

Very fast: ordinary sata did not even stand next to it. File copying speed UP TO 350-400MB/s. Fact. (In the passport, the READING speed is 2022 mb / s). I use it to transfer and sort all sorts of rubbish from old hdd, I work with applications on it. The price was in February 2022 = 27,000 for 2 tb. Now at the end of April 2022, as you can see: 45,000. for 2 tb. I definitely recommend. There are versions of game drives in the form of boards, I don’t like this format, but there the read speed is

Pros
  • Compact (model P50 = 2.5 matchboxes), ultra-fast, WD
Cons
  • It heats up enough but not critically, a short cable (which is usb, there are 2 of them), expensive

The perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

I took it to move Windows 10 to a separate SSD to work on a MacBook: often you need functionality that is available either with great effort on macOS, or applications are not supported. Works just fine and nothing slows down. I could take Thunderbolt, which would work with the file system 30% faster, but it would come out much more expensive. And I do not need such speed, as it seems to me.

Pros
  • Works very fast Doesn't heat up too much (below body temperature) Practically does not make noise - it is audible only sometimes in the range closer to ultrasound. Enough space to work with projects.
Cons
  • I don't watch

The drive is fast but only with USB C to C cable

The drive is very fast, running at speeds of up to 1500MB/s when connected to a 20Gbps USB 3.2x2 port and up to 800MB/s when connected to a 10Gb/s s-USB-C 3.2 connector /3.1 port. However, if you plug your drive into a USB-A port, you're out of luck. Even with a USB-A 3.2/3.1 10Gb/s connector, the drive only delivers around 50MB/s (in line with product reviews on various technical websites), making it inferior to some flash drives. This is likely due to a poor quality WD USB-C to USB-A cable…

Pros
  • . Built with WD_Black quality and reliability for gamers.
Cons
  • Replacement Availability

Fast, durable, easy to use!

I bought this as a workhorse to move files between systems and store data. I previously bought a 2TB model (no SSD) and while it's solid, it was a bit slower. The SSD model is ten times faster than the old spindle drives. It's also 1/2 size. The outer case is all metal, has rubber feet to keep it in place. The old 2TB model came with a legacy USB 3.x cable, while the new 500GB SSD came with USB-C. Speed is the problem, SSD is the solution. Quickly. Both drives were preformatted EXFAT and had a…

Pros
  • With performance, the SSD supports speeds of up to 2000MB/s, reducing screen load time and letting you get into the game faster. | Based on read speed. 1 MB/s = 1 million bytes per second.

UPDATED! 5 stars to 2 stars after 2 months of use (Original: Can play with no defects.)

Original rating: Works well! Durable and small. USB-C connection that is awesome! Recording and downloading games on it is instantaneous. Huge gamer but don't mind all the tech. I play my game and I can play without making mistakes. I noticed that some programs, e.g. B. Epic games, cause the drive not to disconnect or eject when you need it. So don't put epic games on the drive! The vapor also prevents it from being blown out or blown off. Make sure these programs are completely closed. As a…

Pros
  • SuperSpeed USB 20Gb/s high-performance SSD for your PC or console.
Cons
  • Everything is fine

Entire Console Bundle

This drive was purchased to replace a SanDisk Extreme SSD for PlayStation 5. The original drive was fine, but this drive claimed to be faster. The first thing to accept about these discs is that the number on the box is the ideal scenario. It's unlikely that this will ever be your number, and most of these drives are only rated for 1050MB/s in "normal" configurations. This drive runs much warmer than the SanDisk, but that's to be expected when you replace the rubberized finish with an aluminum…

Pros
  • Up to 4TB of additional storage for your favorite games and store new games.
Cons
  • Available in white only
