    excellent value for money and a reliable brand

    I must admit that I chose WD for the M2 SSD because my trust in their mechanical drives has never been betrayed. It was time to speed up a bit!
    This is the OS drive (Linux Mga 8 kernel 5.1 and now 5.15; no compatibility issues)
    IOPS and throughput very satisfactory, no need for bigger capacity for my OS, great value for money.

    Small but strong.

    Good value for money for this M2 format SSD, installation is a breeze, but beware it's small and delicate, it can bend inadvertently for example. Mainly used for installing my games. Very good.

    Simple and not too expensive M2.

    The assembly is simple and the price is reasonable.
    No configuration problems to make the bone work.

    Satisfied

    Bought to replace a SATA HDD for games, so quite bluffed by the performance gain (even if expected).the only negative point found for the moment, is not being able to read the tips on the loading screens...
    Why did you only give it 9/10? LDLC shipped the order (which only contained this product) in a package that was 10 times its size.

    Does the job

    I received it at the same time as my Aorus Master motherboard, and it integrated perfectly with my system as a boot disk. Windows starts and runs perfectly and very smoothly. Delighted

    Excellent in this price range

    Not one of the fastest, far from it, but reliable and a good uppgrade for a classic sata SSD to NVMe. The software that manages the SSD is well done and easy to use. As far as throughputs are concerned, under CrystalDiskMark, we get 2460 reads and 1985 writes. This is more than enough for everyone :) Good stuff.
