Great Endurance
Used in my Unraid server as a cache drive. low capacity for 2023, past life was as my main boot ssd. I haven't been nice to it the temp limits are not accurate as it triggers at 60C which is cold for an m.2 NVME ssd. Refuse to replace it until it dies as it's only caching and typically they will be read-only when they die. The way Unraid handles failures is to act as if there is no cache drive if it fails. I have a 1tb blue as well and have had 0 problems with it as well. since it's still kicking I may get over that 600TBW WD said UP TO. 5/5* would buy again but in 1 or 2 tb

Great price, fast and reputable WD NVMe Drive, works right out of the box
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2019
I got an HP Envy 13-AD010NR with Toshiba NVMe 256GB, I wanted to dual boot Windows 10 and MacOS Mojave, I needed a bigger drive, since NVMe only comes in WD Black. I was going to get the Crucial for less money but the performance seems to be inferior also, ordered the WD Black and I'm happy that I did. I didn't want to clone the original hard drive since Windows 10 is readily available on MS website and it's quite simple to create a USB flash installer. All the drivers are readily available on HP website also and I sure don't need all these trial bloat ware from HP. The amazing thing is I didn't have to prep the new NVMe Black at all, just put it in and installed new Windows 10, the only thing is that I had to create a bigger EFI partition for Windows to install since default was only 100MB, not enough for my Clover boot loader with drivers for MacOS Mojave. Everything works right out of the box, real quality drive. The drive is amazingly fast, it installed Windows in less than 15 minutes. The diskspeed test is twice as fast as the old Toshiba drive. Installed the Windows and MacOS in no time, the battery actually lasts 6hr playing videos. Now, since it's new, I've only had it for a few weeks, can't really tell about the reliability of the drive, but I do trust WD drives all these years, yes, this is the new type of drive so bugs and reliability will be different from normal drives.Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2019

Boot times improved from 60 seconds to 10 seconds. I can trigger applications instantly after the OS boots up, earlier they application launches were laggy. Shutdown also went down from 60 seconds to 10 seconds. I have also attached the speed test results. Huge improvements in test results.
Got for 89.99, used Macrium Reflect 7 to clone, opening laptop was tough

I ordered this for BlackFriday, I have a HP OMEN AX250, opening the laptop enclosure was the toughest part of the whole process. One of the enclosure screws that was screwed to the motherboard was stuck and the head wore out when i tried to remove it. I had to use a drill bit to remove it. Once that was done the rest of the process was easy. I added this to the existing 7500 HDD.Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2018
