Western Digital 1TB SN750 NVMe Internal Gaming SSD Solid State Drive - Gen3 PCIe, M.2 2280, 3D NAND, Up to 3,470 MB/s - WDS100T3X0C

So far this drive has been great. It’s fast and has plenty of space for all my games. Installation was easy and the price seems fair. I will buy this drive again or one or their newer models in the future.

My wife and I have a 2015 Macbook Air. It still runs great and has plenty of life left in it. But after several years of trying to work with the 128GB SSD that it came with (across two user accounts), we decided recently that we need to upgrade the SSD in hopes of future-proofing it a bit.Reading up on our options led me the route of buying an M.2 SSD and an adapter that'd let me install it in my Mac, rather than having to accept the Apple/OWC surcharge for a drive with the original SSD's form factor. I liked what I was seeing with the specs of this SSD and decided to try it out, given my very good past experience with WD HDDs.Installation of both the adapter/SSD and a fresh copy of macOS 10.15 was a breeze. Black Magic benchmarks this drive at roughly 1350MB/s read and write, which is understandable given the bottleneck of this Mac's older PCI interface. But performance is still super snappy, and we have had zero issues with this upgraded setup so far. Sure, this drive is built with way more capability under the hood than what we'll ever use, but I'm totally ok with it considering how little we paid for it vs. buying an OEM/OWC replacement.I can imagine that if you're running a newer Mac/PC with a more current PCI interface that can take advantage of the additional read/write ability of this drive you'll have an even better experience. Regardless, if you happen to be a Mac user looking to upgrade your compatible MacBook Air (even if it's a relatively older one like ours), you owe it to yourself to check this drive out.

I bought this for an older Dell Small Form Factor Optiplex 5040 desktop. I was worried that the wizard that WD does not say if this model is supported. It was a simple install, the only missing item is the little screw that is needed to keep the m.2 SSD in place. Make sure you buy one that fits it. Dell users guide has the spec on it. I think Amazon has them as well. I had the stock regular hard drive that came with the desktop, you can keep it after the install. Unplug the hard drive and install the M.2 ssd in place and then boot the computer into bios mode by hitting F2. Make sure that the computer is booting in UEFI mode, enable legacy option ROMs and disable the attempt legacy boot. UEFI boot path security code Always, Except Internal HDD. Sata operation on AHCI, make sure you have the drives under system configuration have the m.2 option selected. The product from Western Digital is amazingly fast and reliable. Windows took less than 5 minutes to install, probably faster, I did not time it. I will buy it again in the 2 TB configuration. Thank you WD for a great product.

This is a bog-standard PCIe x4 M.2 NVME drive. It achieved its advertised transfer speeds within a reasonable margin of error in my testing. It is no easier or harder to install than any other M.2 drive. For its capacity, it was a very good deal at the price I purchased it.However, my one gripe with this drive is that it is marketed towards gamers. Yes, NVME is technically faster than SATA. Yes, it will ever so slightly decrease your load times. However, the difference between SATA and NVME is not nearly as noticeable as the difference between a mechanical drive and basically any SSD. Game load times aren't only affected by drive read speed. The diminishing returns in load times kick in pretty hard after you move past the speeds offered by SATA. Unless you either need the high speed for something else, or this drive happens to be almost the same price as an equivalent capacity SATA drive, you'll be better served by spending your money on more capacity, or on improving the other components in your PC.

I'll make this review short as I really don't have much to say.On my previous computer, which was a Walmart prebuilt, I had a 1TB WD Blue 7200RPM for pretty much everything; OS, storage for media, installed programs, you name it. And while it's a decent enough hard drive, it took FOREVER for the PC to boot and for programs to start up.So when I built my current PC, I decided to go for Solid State as even the worst SSDs are four times faster than the best HDDs. I read about NVMe and was intrigued by the aspect and decided to spend the $228 for this product (I bought the 1TB drives because I like to futureproof) and I will say decisively that I will never go back to HDD if I can help it. NVMe is like Solid State on steroids, it's much faster and definitely the best choice for the OS, your favorite programs, and any Mulitplayer games. I installed Windows 10 on it and startup, including the motherboard startup, takes around 5-8 seconds, a far cry better than the 2-3 minutes on my HDD. Programs start up fast, games start up fast, and it is RAID compatable if you set it up in the BIOS UEFI.All that for a drive the size of a stick of gum.If your motherboard has the option for NVMe, DO IT. You won't regret it.

I have a B550 with Zen 3 so I can run PCIe 4 SSDs however at 35-40% more money I don't think it quite makes sense yet, this little drive does not disappoint in the gen 3 category. Seeing consistent seq speeds in the 3k+ range and temps maxing out around 60-65c under full load doing a CrystalMark test. When I run the full test they do climb into the 70s however this is something you'll just never expose the drive to in real-world use. I've this mounted right under a large GPU so it's getting quite a bit of second-hand cooling from it's fans. If I run this test while the GPU fans are at max the temps stay under 50c which means that when gaming the temps should be near this area or under. Very reasonable. Great drive.
