This was my first NVMe SSD purchase, and I could not be happier! It's been running great, and my temps are great too! I was surprised how fast Windows 11 installed on this thing. It had those files copied over and installing in hardly no time. I've installed Windows many times, but never seen it install that fast. No issues with gaming. Games load pretty fast. Drive installation was easy. My motherboard had an included beefy heatsink, so I did not have to purchase one. So keep in mind, you don't need to buy a heatsink if your motherboard already includes a decent one. Yeah, so far all is good and hoping it stays this way! And I would certainly recommend this drive! Lastly, be sure to pull off the protective film covering the thermal pad on back of the heatsink before installing your drive. I've watched some YouTube videos of some installing their drives and forgetting to remove that film. That's not good! My System Below. System Name: GO DAWGS!

read write speeds as suggested in technical specifications. easy to install as all nvme. the edition without heat sink is very thin. i suggest always put some thermalpad and heatsink on these drives. less thermal is more lief for them as always. not to mention the speed stability with them.
Satisfied with WD quality...surprised that Walmart carried it.
Works like it should with my Mac Pro 2013 "trashcan". I had a Samsung 980 Pro but after their latest firmware update that drive started misbehaving. Apparently Samsung's controllers don't play nicely with macs. WD was recommended by the mac community and it has been a good decision.
Easily installed and exactly what it's supposed to be. It went directly into the PS5 with no problems.
It's fast and easy to install. I just did an image backup of my old drive, a Samsung 980 pro, that was having issues and swapped it out with this one and did a restore. It booted right up and I downloaded and installed the Western Digital Software. It has be working great ever since.
Works great once its set up correctly in the bios. Installed alongside the oem wd_black m.2 and used the included acronis subscription to move my OS over to the sn850x. I had to reset the cmos to get it to boot, and had to reformat the original drove to stop windows from reverting my boot order. I was initially disappointed in my benchmark scores before realizing that the pci lanes are intertwined in a way that both drives are affected. Basically, it made my original drive appear much faster than normal and the sn850x slower than advertised in testing. In real-world use, its fast and stable though. The dashboard app is also nice to have as well. Mine is mounted behind the GPU with no heatsink and never reaches above 60° at full load.
Everything is very good, even many are saying Samsung and Seagate are better. Why 4 stars? Because I was never able to get 7300 mb/s. Even from one WD Black SN850X to another WD Black SN850X (on a Asrock Z790 Steel Legend WiFi motherboard). Maybe the motherboard is the problem. Not sure.
The website is misleading. Beware companies using MB (Megabytes) when the speed ratings shown actually match Mb (Megabits) which is obviously 8X smaller or slower if comparing speed. While this drive is performing at the speeds shown in Megabits, it is absolutely not in MegaBytes.
The 2TB SN850X NVMe does not perform to the advertised 7000 Mb/s rate. WD website is not user friendly enough to find if there is a driver that needs installation to operate the SN850X as an external on a Mini Mac M2.
