Western Digital 250GB WD Blue SN500 NVME SSD - M.2 2280 1700MB/s Read, 1300MB/s Write

Get one before its gone. Plus builder most likely will upgrade its cost because of its high speed. WD you owe me one! Dear Newegg, I brought a Western Digital WD Blue SN500 NVMe M.2 2280 500GB PCI-Express 3.0 x2 order date 5/26/20 with order # 486867773 and the Detailed Tracking is listed as HAWB486867773. So, I tried to find who is going to sent it to me but looks like no one has received this tracking you setup at all, bummer. Well if I have done something wrong with you people, I do “apologize” for what I did on a bad day, bummer. Thank You for the GOOD units you sold to be in many years, Barry Chase

My second M.2 slot is a standard rather than an Ultra like the one that holds my system M.2 drive. This means that I only get about half the potential speed but this was expected and is still almost three times the speed of the SATA SSD it replaces. Since this drive is intended for my video conversions it should speed up the process a good bit. Deliver was a day late but I blame neith New Egg nor Western Digital for this. Delivery starts with UPS but ends with USPS. Every time delivery is this method the item will be a day later than the estimated UPS delivery date. I think UPS estimates when the product will hit USPS, not the final delivery location. Specs for the system using this drive: Mother board: ASRock X370 Taichi motherboard CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1800x 8 core ...

If you're looking at things like 4K speeds, you'll notice this beats a number of NVMe X4 drives, and the random speeds are what actually matters - SSDs were such a HUGE improvement over HDDs not because they had 3X better SEQ speeds, but because they are like 80X faster at random. I put AC Odyssey on it and I keep running the game to 'clock' the load times but I'm actually able to get into the game for the first time ever and never even think about the load times... heat can get up 54°C (In-game) but I'm not sure if my Motherboard's Heatsink is hurting or helping with that.

I first purchased an AData same spec M2 when I built my tower 3 years ago. Now it's old tech and I was lucky to find a replacement. Moral of the story: Buy spares if you're using the previous generation of Tech. Then you'll have them when you need them.
This is my first NVMe drive. Still learning about the details of this technology. The 250GB version does present a decent price vs performance. Good value. Faster than my previous SATA SSD.
I have observed 4K random reads at Q3 depth around 620 MB per second, and writes at the same depth at 520 MB per second. That's pretty fast, even taking into account this newest generation of NVMe drives, that's still pretty fast. This surprised me, as another rig that I own has a slightly older NVMe drive from another company, running at PCIe 3, 4x, and this WD Blue SN500 beats it hands down. This was quite surprising, as indeed, I intended for that to be the performance drive, and this new WD Blue to be the "budget solution." So, here I am, considering swapping them, and wondering how I will manage to do so with my foot in my mouth. If you want ultra-fast performance, then, please get an NVMe with a DRAM cache, which this drive lacks, but, my older NVMe does have ...

If you want ultra-fast performance, then, please get an NVMe with a DRAM cache, which this drive lacks, but, my older NVMe does have a DRAM cache, and yet still slightly underperfoms this simple "budget" drive. Of course, this drive is newly-released, at the time of this writing, and belongs to the latest generation of NVMe. So, the controller and the tech behind the drive are top-notch consumer-grade, so, it makes sense that it can beat some of the older NVMe drives. Still, this drive does have some impressive performance for the price.
Reviewers who dock it one egg because it doesn't come with a screw? .... Really? Good luck finding a drive worthy of a 5-star review, because none of them come with a screw. I've built a half dozen or more systems with M.2 drives, and the screw has ALWAYS come with the motherboard (or laptop). Not once have I bought a drive that came with one.
First time using a SSD M.2 drive, I did a test of moving a 1.4GB Movie, first from a portable hard drive took about 20 seconds, Then I made 2 partitions and moved the 1.4GB movie from one partition to the other, It took 2 seconds. Awesome speed very happy with this
great spec for the price (not best spec, but price wise great). runs cool enough since it doesn't run as fast as the top NVMe drives but very fast compared to SATA. (65 June 2019... for clarity)
these are great pcie cards usually there are no issues with them and their transfer rates vary from 1,720 ps to 5,300 per meg per second, warenty is also not bad, if wd accepts an ebay sale
