However, I had my first drive for a week and couldn't figure out why the Western Digital SSD Dashboard was saying the remaining life of my drive was 95%. My testing/benchmarking had been limited and nothing strange occurred during the setup/configuration of it.
Prime Member's Day occurred 5 days after I bought the 1tb version. The savings was $70 so I called Amazon and they wouldn't budge on giving me credit but the CS rep recommended I just return the old one and buy a new one, especially after I said something didn't seem right with the life remaining of the drive. The new drive was very low in reads/writes and the dashboard says it has 100% life left.
So I presume someone returned my first drive and Amazon restocked it then sent it to me; bad on Amazon for restocking a SSD drive. The cummulative data written and read was showing 32TB. I was researching the first drive after install and thought it was strange but watched it as I was testing and noticed it wasn't dramatically increasing when I was running benchmarks. I thought it was just part of initial factory burn in.
Upon receiving this new drive, the total Read/Writes were in the low GB range indicating that the first drive was seriously used when I got it. The prior owner must have been running benchmarks for days to get to 32TB reads/writes on the drive. TBW is rated at 600TB so I wasn't too concerned, but still.
So beware when you get your drive. I used HWINFO64 to find the total reads/writes for my drive. It's a great tool to have anyway and free so please check yours and give Amazon hell if you find you've got a used one. I don't blame WD at all for this issue.
Installing it was a breeze as it just plugs into the nvme slot and has a single screw to hold it in place. I used the WD provided Acronis to clone my hd to it which did take over 2 hours in a DOS session which sucked as Micron's version of it runs in windows.

Just remember, this stick can perform really fast, BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE APPROPRIATE HARDWARE FOR IT TO PERFORM THAT WAY. Make sure you do your research and ensure your computer is capable of using this thing to its potential, or you are better off paying less for a SATA SSD that runs about 550 MB/s.

I'm replacing a faulty ADATA SX6000 (x2) with this WD Black (x4), the difference is like going from HDD to SSD. My concern is that the ADATA failed because of the GPU/M.2 situation, but other reviews seem to indicate that drive is not very good. We'll see.

Definitivamente cumple con lo que dicen en la publicidad, un SSD m.2 SATA anda en 500MB/s tanto en escritura como en lectura, este (SSD m.2 NVME de 250GB) llega a 3000 MB/s en lectura y 1600 MB/s de escritura.
Lo instale en una OMEN 15 2018, que no trae tornillo, ni el SSD traia tornillo, tómenlo en cuenta. Era muy lenta con el HDD de fabrica, tardaba minutos en encender y se trababa con tareas básicas, ahora con el SSD prende en segundos y abre cualquier programa al instante, vale la pena invertir en esto.
