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

WD is a good company, a 2-year warranty and the fact that my HDD from the same company lives for a year, and I had no complaints about it, made my choice obvious)

Pros
  • WD, the speed for a non-M2 and non-NVMe drive pleases
Cons
  • I had to buy a sled to fix it in the case, well, open the sata cable

An excellent disk, I put it in PS4 Pro, the speed of the console has increased significantly, the load time in games has become less, the textures are loaded faster. You can only hear the noise from the fan in games. Sometimes you need to let it run idle for automatic optimization. >390 GB available

Pros
  • 3 year warranty, proven brand, affordable price, light weight, low power consumption.

Not everything is so bad, but there are disadvantages.

the disk is 30% full (the system and a couple of games are installed on the disk) for example, I added a speed test of a very old 128 gigabyte plexor. it seems to me that comments are unnecessary, it is better to choose another series ssd Surprised by the rave reviews about this CD.

Pros
  • low price Great for upgrading an old computer
Cons
  • random write and read speed. apparently a very cheap controller in the disk is

If you need a budget ssd for old motherboards or laptops, a large volume - you can definitely take it. Otherwise, there are M2 drives.

Pros
  • A good SSD for my money, I took it only because of the volume (replaced OCZ agility 3 with 120 GB).
Cons
  • The speed is not the best.

Work quickly if you've got pros. The old ASUS "flew" to its full potential after having this disk instead of the previous system HDD installed. Below are some downsides: This aspect of the first sectoring was not determined by the computer. Tambourine playing was required in order to successfully move the system off of the outdated system disk.

I did not regret the purchase, everything is fine.

Due to the high price for today, the most rational use is only as an upgrade for laptops and a PC, after installing it as a system one, the computer starts to fly and acquires a new, faster life, so do not rush before replacing the computer, install an SSD and Windu on it, and see how the computer will change. For use as a drive - I consider it a very expensive pleasure, I personally use HDD, 2 terobytes bought for 4600r .

Pros
  • Fast as long as it works reliably
Cons
  • can only be high cost

I'm amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

Pros: Work speed. After installing this disk instead of the old system HDD, the old ASUS just "flyed". Has some cons: Not determined by the computer for initial sectoring. It took dancing with a tambourine to transfer the system from the old system disk.

The quality is top notch, be sure to try it.

With its pros: Big volume for little money. For 4 thousand -480 GB is an excellent offer. Got cons: They say that it is slow, but they didn’t notice, because they put it in a 5-year-old laptop - they didn’t notice much, it loads much faster than from a disk.

Poor product, below average quality.

Maybe I got a marriage, but the speed of inconsistent work with 5Mb / s blocks is no good. In addition to synthetics, I checked the disk with a torrent rocking chair. The download speed accelerates to 55Mb / s, the message "Disk overloaded 100%" is displayed, and the speed drops by half. This is the behavior of a cheap flash drive, but not a system drive. My old 2022 OCZ Vertex 4 performs incomparably better when fully loaded. For the price of this product, there are options, at least not…

Pros
  • No
Cons
  • Random block read and write speed

Best price for this product, will buy more!

I bought it as a plug instead of the system HDD (there was no living place left for that one), tk. the speed of reading / writing on the system disk made me learn zen. As a temporary plug - it is quite suitable, as a solution for a long time - in no case. And the speed, to put it mildly, is not the best. Please only after the ancient half-dead hard. In short, take it only as a temporary hut, or for non-critical systems / data, when money is running out. In all other cases, it is better to look…

Pros
  • price tag; Speeds for this price
Cons
  • Case - a piece of plasticine of some kind (very soft) Speeds relative to other SSDs
