There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
A couple counter-points based on other peoples reviews:
1) It does not come with a screw to secure it to your motherboard. This is not Western Digital's fault, stop blaming them or any other drive manufacturer for that matter. The screw should be supplied by your motherboard manufacturer (if you built your own system) or your system builder (if you bought a pre-built PC)
2) Cloning Software: Several buyers complained that this does not come with software to clone your old drive to the new one. Free software is available and Western Digital could have done a better job advertising this. They have a free version of Acronis True Image WD Edition Software available to on their website anyone can download. Personally I would recommend doing a clean install anytime you replace your boot drive to clean out old junk you don't use anymore and make your system perform better overall. If you choose to reinstall a fresh copy of Windows 10, get the Media Creation Tool from Microsoft and use it to make a bootable USB drive. Just make sure to plug it into a USB 2.0 port when you install. Using a USB 3.0 port sounds like it would be faster but it's not, it will result in the install processing getting stuck, trust me...
I also encourage you to do your research before purchasing, studying my motherboard manual a little closer would have saved me a little frustration. You may find yourself in a similar situation.
My motherboard (Gigabyte Z170X - Gaming 5) has two M.2 slots. I could only get it to boot to Windows from one of the slots, the other would recognize the drive for storage it just wouldn't boot from it.
The slot it requires me to use to boot also disabled 4 out of the 6 SATA ports on the motherboard (as the NVME drive now used those PCI-E channels to communicate). This meant I had to reconfigure how my other drives were plugged into the motherboard and I ultimately had to unplug three of my other SATA devices since they had nowhere to plug into. Again, not the NVME's fault; it's a configuration issue I should have seen coming.
Overall, this is a great drive for the price and I'm looking at purchasing another one in the near future for the second M.2 slot on my board.
I will say, trying to get that microscopic screw into an equally miniscule hole made me wish I had taken the whole darn thing apart, but after dropping it onto the motherboard and retrieving it with tweezers several times, I did get it into the standoff hole and got the M.2 card secured. After that I booted right up and it was instantly recognized and I just followed the instructions to get it formatted right, and now it's holding a bunch of Steam games.
I definitely recommend this card, the price is definitely worth it to me. Just either install it when you're building your PC or make sure you have the tiny screws handy. Also the speed has only ever been very fast and I've never had an issue waiting for a game to load.

Reviewed in Mexico on May 21, 2022
Their price however is just a bit too much.
This WD blue M2 SSD is the best value for money in the market however. Hands down, no comparisons.
It's not the fastest nor does it have the longest lifespan
but at its price, it allows one to enjoy the M2 form factor & fast write speeds easily. The speed increases compared to other more premium M2 ssds in the market is negligible as you're only really experiencing a - 1.5 second difference at most. The only letdown would be a shorter lifespan but that's still a mighty long time if you ask many builders out there.
At 1TB, this is highly sufficient as a M2 extra storage for gamers and even for OS bootup purposes, it does the job well enough with noticeable speed increases over regular SATA SSDs.
The warranty is pretty decent and WD is no slouch in the market compared to smaller brands.
Can't go wrong with these on budget builds or on high end rigs as an additional storage.
Pros:
- Affordable
- Great warranty
- Form factor
- Price to performance ratio is one of the best if not the best in the market
- it's a WD, a more renowned name
- M2 form factor
Cons:
- Does not come with a heatsink
- Does not come with a m2 screw (139 mm screw i think?), must use existing screw on mobo or procure one
- Blue color may be a drawback for some
- Not the fastest(but if you're at this price point, you're not exactly looking at this as a big con on the M2 ssd segment)
- not the longest lifespan(but it's still pretty long)
Lots of value, and huge W for any buyers on their pocket!
