Used as a big usb stick, I don't ask more from this ssd m2 installed in an external case. It's Western Digital so it's very good and I have no worries about its reliability.

Perfect for an upgrade
This M2 SATA SSD is perfect for upgrading an ultraportable PC that is a few years old. It easily doubles the storage capacity of the machine and offers the same performance as the old SSD.
A good product that I recommend!Review automatically translated -

Robust SATA III M.2 SLC
The SLC memory type is the most robust with 50,000 nominal program-erase (P/E) cycles, compared to about 5,000 for MLC NAND flash memory and 1,500 for TLC. For 3D NAND, see the specifications. So I set up the WD drive as a boot/system drive, a second M.2 SSD (MLC) as a system backup drive (system cloning with Macrium Reflect) and I keep a classic Toshiba 7200 tm drive for data.
The installation of M.2 SATA or NVMe SSDs is very simple. Provide a good quality Arctic thermal pad, and if you take a 1.5mm thickness, slightly longer mounting screws for the aluminium heatsink, if you have one above the drives.Review automatically translated -

A very fast SSD
I am under Linux, I formatted the disk in EXT4.
I tested the performance of the disk with gnome-disk-utility.
The result given in reading is 488,3 Mb/s.
The read speed is very close to that given by the manufacturer (up to 545 MB/s in read mode), which is remarkable.
The write speed is 378.2 MB/s,
The average access time is 5.27 msReview automatically translated
