- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 April 2024I bought this to upgrade my new laptop.
Spent a bit of time researching drives and this one came up above all the others, when looking at speed, price, size, and reliability.
It is always difficult to look at specs for these because only experience using it can give you a real feel for it. So you need to rely on manufacturer's info and reviews.
Using it now for two months and it works great. Fitted right in on my HP elitebook laptop, but for sure it will be compatible with others. Quite fast, and as far as I can see runs really cool even when I'm running simulations on Matlab.
It double my storage which is perfect for me at the moment.
In my opinion this is excellent value for money and I would recommend it, if you are upgrading your machine or getting a gaming machine built.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 December 2021My PS5 built in SSD filled up a while ago and so with a few Christmas games purchases on the horizon I decided to expand my PS5 storage. Sony specifies the dimensions of the M.2 and more importantly the speed the drives need to be to be compatible with the PS5, needing to reach speeds in excess of 5500MB/s. This drive claims 7000, although when installed the PS5 said I was getting 6700MB/s - close enough. Installation was a breeze, but remember you do need a heatsink which I purchased separately. All my games transferred without a hitch and the new drive is performing flawlessly. Recommended for those who need super fast storage - works great with the PS5 - and the 1TB seems to be a sweet spot for value for money.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 November 2021Picked this up to go with QIVYNSRY M2 heatsink nvme 2280. I managed to pick up cheaper without a heat sink and who knows when heat sink version will be in stock. Im not into modding, or technical stuff, but it was pretty simple to attach the heatsink. The sizing of this particular heatsink is a tiny bit off - a little too big, so you need to make sure you position the surplus to the screw in end, so you’re not covering up the connection point. One minor thing to note for anyone installing - when you plug the SSD into the ps5, it sits at an angle. You need to remove the little nut screw from the ps5 and sit the SsD on it before screwing. It’ll make sense when you do it, just saying not to panic. Oh yeah, everything fit, closed, and seems to be working fine, so no issues here. You won’t regret having the extra space on your ps5. This drive is seamless.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 March 2022This is the perfect companion for any pc. Don’t matter if you’re a big user or casual user. An fast ssd is always the best purchase you can make for your computer.
This one is super easy to install and even better to use. My computer has been flying since I installed it. Took me 2 minutes to go it.
The start up speed my computer has now is nothing compared to before and that’s not even mentioning that increase in speed on normal use.
Really buy it and you won’t regret it. Promise.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 December 2021I got one of these with a view to expanding my PS5 storage and will most likely get another for my PC build. The speeds are as advertised and functions well. I would like to advise people to maybe watch a few tutorials and not to apply much pressure when installing this in a PS5 however as although this may not be relevant to the actual SSD the small screw in the PS5 is Extremely easy to strip. If this happens you will have a frustrating time removing the screw and replacing it etc. Aside from this issue everything is pretty quick and simple to get running with this drive.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 March 20221tb. Did some reading up and this SSD was mentioned as the preferred developer one. Working well. Did have concerns on heat dissipation so bought this without the heat sink which made it quite a bit cheaper and bought the Sabrent heatsink designed specifically for the PS5 as it radiates the heat away to the PS5 fan air flow.. A nice combination, fit well together and performing well, no heat issues and high performance.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 January 2022Superb performance when paired with a heatsink. Gets a little hot but operates within temperate guidelines WD has set therefore no issues when under heavy load.
A little note not related to the product but with Amazon - my first order arrived with an empty box and no SSD, being directly sold by Amazon. I suspect there's warehouse theft ongoing with items like these. I reported the case to amazon and they swiftly resolved it. I tried again with a second order and this time I went with a third party which was fulfilled by Amazon and I had no problems - the box was sealed and everything was there. Be aware of this when ordering.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 December 2021I did a lot of comparisons when I was looking for a 1TB upgrade for my laptop. Looking at the stats for this Western Digital drive, it looked promising.
After installing it (which took a minute after I opened my laptop), I was stunned at how fast it is. Cloned my old 250gb drive in less than 15 minutes. Read/write and access times are incredibly fast, I am very impressed.
The only thing is that the price is still a little high, after 3-4 years on sale, I would expect prices to start falling. But that was a minor issue - still good value compared to other similar capacity, slower PCI drives.

joanReviewed in Brazil on 5 December 20225.0 out of 5 stars Rápido e com excelente qualidade
Melhor do que o esperado as taxas de transmissão conseguem ser mais rápidas do que a do próprio console.
Comprei para utilizar no Playstation 5.
O único ponto negativo é que não vem com dissipador o que pode diminuir a vida útil e o desempenho, mas foram claros neste aspecto.
Darwin S TrotterReviewed in the United States on 24 July 20225.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for PS5 Disc and Digital version
I bought this for my PS5 Digital version. I looked on YouTube for reviews before purchase and this came across as a solid investment. The speeds are on the higher side of those out there and it is a Gen 4 with heatsink. I caught this on sale during Amazon Day and wow was it a great deal. First off are the speeds. There is enormous difference between Gen 3 and 4 and I guess that’s why Sony made that requirement. I had almost 300 GB of games on initial hard drive, and it transferred to the new drive in less than 2 minutes(insanely fast). The new Gen 4 drives are fast, but they do get hot so spend a little extra for the heatsink version. Extremely easy to install and I can see nothing at fault with this investment. Great price point with impressive performance makes this on the better drives out there. The last thing that does not get talked about enough is that this fits the Disc and Digital version PS5. There are Brands out there that make drives just for the PS5, but they only fit the DISC version. You cannot go wrong with this one since it fits both versions plus PC builds even with the heatsink. Great investment.

Héctor Bustillos RuízReviewed in Mexico on 10 October 20215.0 out of 5 stars Funciona excelente el ps5.
El producto excelente y para ser la de 1T, en su momento lo agarre a 4300 pesos por lo que fue una compra obligada. Si asegúrense de seguir todas las instrucciones proporcionadas por los canales oficiales de Sony playstation para colocarla. Como se ha dicho antes se requiere un disipador de calor y aquí en amazon hay varios. En mi caso el que conseguí, la parte trasera (no la de abajo), el medio circulo que trae es más grande que el medio circulo que trae la ssd por lo que en mi caso tuve que hacer coincidir el borde trasero del ssd con el borde trasero del disipador.
