    Great little SSD!

    Great little SSD!
    Long ago purchasing a HHD over 500GB was a big deal and expensive. Next getting a USB thumb drive over 256MB was a big deal and expensive. Then 2.5in SATA SSD revolutionized the PC system boot up time, but when they launched only 64GB, 128BG & 256GB were available for steep prices, I paid $350+ MSRP for my first 128GB SSD, 3 years later I bought a 500GB SSD for ~$250 available retail came out and ONLY for Operating System boot up, a secondary HHD was required. But Windows XP required a fresh OS install, no Macrium Reflect to clone a drive until ~2017, while XP would not function after replacing a couple of hardware, forcing a fresh install to function. Windows 7 at least stored your old system in a back-up folder.But now we can use Windows 10, change any hardware, and it will boot with a driver update. I easily cloaned my Win10 boot drive to this 1TB Western Digital Blue M.2/NVMe Board Mounted SSD for ~$100 ! WOW ! So Exciting ! Even FASTER boot up now !I have this 1TB WD Blue boot drive, and 22 TB of WD Red & Purple HDD storage on my Network, but I can work on large files from my PC without any problem requiring a save to the network anymore. Hello speed I love you!My old 128 and 500 SATA SSD are now useless paper weights.Current PC build:• AMD Ryzen 7 3800XT 8-core/16-Threads.• EVGA GeForce RTX-3060.• ASUS ROG Strix B450 ATX Motherboard.• 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO Desktop Memory.• 1TB Western Digital Blue M.2/ NVMe Internal SSD, Gen3 PCIe 8Gb/s, up to 2,400 MB/s.• Seasonic FOCUS GX-650, 650W 80+Gold Full-Modular PSU.• 3x SilverStone AB120R 120mm PWM Addressable RGB Case Fans.• EVGA PowerLink, PCI-e 12volt power adapter, part # 600-PL-2816-LR (EVERYONE should be using this on their GPU).• Stock AMD Wraith Prism CPU Cooler; with a Copper Base & 4 Heat Pipes.This build benchmarked in the 92nd percentile of current PC's in the world. Only the very wealthy (or foolish), buy a 3080/3090 GPU, AMD 5950x, an intel i9-11900k. Full crazy purchase an AMD Threadripper or Intel Xeon.

    Excelente M.2 de WD, tenían solo 500gb en mi PC cuando la arme y para tener tanto cable mejor opte por otro M.2 ya que mi mobo tiene dos puertos. Hasta el momento me ha funcionando perfecto, tengo varios juegos guardados en este y me abren muy rápido, lo recomiendo mas si lo encuentran en oferta, a mi me costo 2k lo cual es buen precio por la capacidad que te ofrece.
