Review: Perfectly sufficient with great performance, yet outstanding value! - I purchased one of these as I was looking to add more storage to a gaming laptop and this very one (WD Blue SN550 1TB) caught my eye, solely because of it's outstanding value for money. Nobody can deny that £69.99 for a 1TB PCIe solid-state storage drive, with blazing fast NVMe speeds is an exceptionally great price! Granted, it's definitely not the fastest SSD on the market, but for my purpose, it's more than sufficient. And I guess the same will go for many others out there looking to buy a storage drive for that same reason too. So I did my research and went for this one! Just for some background, the machine I fitted this too is an MSI GE66-10UG Raider, which by default has 1TB of storage. The pre-installed drive is also a WD, but it's an SN730 (which is basically the same drive as a Black SN750, but an OEM model number), but whilst 1TB might seem like quite a lot, by modern day standards it isn't. Some Steam games can be as much as 100GB each and as a YouTuber, video files can be HUGE! So I basically just wanted a drive for mass storage purposes. All I use this for mostly is to store my Videos folder, other games (such as slightly older non-Steam games, emulators and roms) and somewhere for recording apps, such as Elgato and OBS to record to. This drive ticked all of those boxes for me. In fact, for that use, it's probably overkill. The pre-installed drive (SN730) I will continue to use my Windows installation, programs, Steam games and personal files, such as documents. Of course, if you want to use this drive for an OS Installation, it's still probably more than sufficient, given the read and write speeds in the attached image. And of course, it'll blow any SATA based SSD out of the water, so remember that! Installation was very easy! The hardest part is accessing the M.2 slot, and that is it. My laptop was quite a pain to open up and get into, but that shouldn't be the case for most other laptops and especially desktop machines. One thing I would love to note is, I installed this "as is", and didn't bother to do anything with thermal pads or a heatsink and it runs at similar temperatures, if not quite a bit cooler in some circumstances than the SN730. I'm more than sure this will last. After all, this drive is designed to be budget friendly, easy to install and cool running and it does indeed excel at all of those. So overall, I can strongly recommend this drive. Especially being more than sufficient for mass storage, if there is nowhere to put a 2.5" drive, like pretty much all of the new MSI laptops don't. And also as a main drive too. Unless perhaps you're building a super high-end rig. But still, if you are looking to save some cost somewhere, this is a very good answer and will suffice greatly. TL;DR: If you're looking for a fast storage drive for exceptional value... JUST BUY THIS ONE!!!
Review: Tremendous Value - Bought the 2TB Nvme version to install into my gaming laptop as I had a spare Nvme slot. Very easy to install these little drives & you don't really require any IT skills to do so... Just make sure to earth yourself so as to discharge any static electricity that may have built up in you before handling components such as these & you'll be fine ;) This WD Blue Nvme does everything it's claimed & has been performing without issues for about a month after installing it. Average read/ write speeds with tests resulted in it matching it's advertised speeds. So once everything is factored in I think I made a wise choice, having chosen it to be a 2nd HD in a gaming laptop for storage of games from Steam, Origin & UPlay etc... It's cheaper than the Corsair or Crucial alternatives & I would think as reliable if not more so than those 2 aforementioned competitors & their more expensive options available from them. I've bought many a Western Digital hard drive over my many yrs of PC use be it gaming or business & TBH I can't recall ever having 1 WD die on me unlike many other brands namely Seagates. So to sum up ; Pros : Decent speeds reads & writes, built well (as all WD drives usually are) & by far the best Pro is it's cheap price ! Cons : Won't break any read or write speed tests if I'm being ultra ultra picky but I knew this going into the purchase so perhaps I'm being too harsh saying this is a Con but thought I'd try at least put in 1 thing in the Con section ;) Best 2TB decent quality bang per buck NVme currently available IMHO ;)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: and where is write speed specification?**
A: Full Specifications (taken from their site)
▪ Capacity: 1 TB 
▪ Interface: PCIe Gen 3 
▪ Connector: M.2 
▪ Dimensions (L x W x H): 80mm x 22mm x 2.38mm 
▪ Sequential Read Performance: 2400MB/s 
▪ Sequential Write Performance: 1950MB/s

**Q: Would this memory work for the HP Pavilion 15-cs1004na laptop?**
A: I would strongly advise you to check the form factor before purchasing. The form factor of this one is 2280 which is 22mm wide and 80mm long. Ususally laptop M.2 drives are a lot shorter and sometimes wider so have this confirmed before ordering.

**Q: Will the 2tb version be compatible with a xps 15 9560? thanks a lot!**
A: Hi i did instaled it to my xps 15 7590 and its working perfectly

**Q: The Sn550 1tb is £118 but the faster sn570 1tb is £72 why is the faster one cheaper.**
A: It is probably just pricing fluctuations. The SN550 was altered and appeared to be made slower. Go for the SN570 in my opinion at that price but remember that it uses HMB and both are the cheaper DRAM-less variety. They are pretty good for day-to-day use and I actually own both in different PC's. They are very responsive but slow down on sustained writes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ PERFECT if you are looking to UPGRADE your laptop/PC to an SSD
*by T***4 on 10 May 2020*

I really like WD's products and have found them to be very reliable so I bought one of their SN550 Blue M.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs which I knew would give a hugely significant performance boost (see images for comparison: before and after) as before I had a 1TB WD HDD which came with my Dell Inspiron 5570. The storage capacity (250GB) of this new SSD is perfect for my needs as I don't store any of my personal data on it (it is purely for the operating system and programs alone). I use the original 1TB WD HDD that came with my laptop for all of my personal data as it has a 2.5" HDD bay and also an M.2 slot so I can have dual drives. You can opt for a bigger version of this model such as 500GB or 1TB if you require more space. This was incredibly easy to install, all I had to do was remove the back cover of my laptop, then locate the M.2 drive bay slot, insert the drive into the slot the correct way around and then screw the screw into the other end to secure it (my laptop came with this screw already inside, depending on your make and model, you may need to purchase a screw as well). You can then either clone your disk (copy everything that was on the pervious disk you used) using software such as Macrium Reflect (free for home use) or Acronis True Image (30-day free trial) or if you're like me and want a complete fresh start you can install Windows 10 with a bootable USB drive which you can create using Microsoft's Media Creation Tool on their website. Once you've installed Windows 10, it should automatically activate as your product key stays with the computer even if just some of the components are replaced such as the RAM and SSD. Overall, I would highly recommend this SN550 Blue M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD from WD as it offers great performance for a reasonable price. Upgrading your memory and SSD are the two most significant upgrades you can make to your laptop/PC to improve performance and efficiency.
