M.2 is a physical connection type, and is simply just the shape of the plug. But similar to how different countries have different power plugs on the walls, the shape of the plug doesn’t really change the type or strength of the signal being sent.
Additionally, there are multiple data transfer standards that M.2 drives use to communicate with the rest of the system. SATA III is the older standard, and is much slower than the new NVMe standard. NVMe uses your CPU or Motherboard chipset’s PCIe lanes, for much faster connections. You can find M.2 drives that use both of these standards, so make sure that you pay attention to the data transfer protocol that your drive uses.
Lastly, if you have a fancy NVMe drive, be sure that you note what kind of connection speeds the M.2 slot on your motherboard can run at. Even if you have a NVMe drive, if your M.2 slot on the motherboard can only run at SATA3 speeds, your performance will only be that of if you had gotten a SATA3 drive anyways. Also note the PCIe generation your drive and slot use, with PCIe gen3.0 being slower than gen 4.0, though NVMe PCIe Gen 4.0 drives aren’t yet widely available for regular consumers.
In case it matters to anyone this drive is packaged for "professional installation". So it doesn't include any instructions. Thankfully installing an M.2 drive is just about the easiest thing ever.
Great form factor, very fast, tons of space at an incredible value. I might just get another if I had room on my board.
For the first few months I would take occasional looks at the temperature of the drive, and it was always super cool, so no issues to worry about there.
I'm overall quite pleased with this and would certainly recommend it. Thanks to Western Digital for making a great product and thanks to Amazon for having a great sale on Prime Day!
It's not a top of the line performer but now you don't have to go sata to save a few bucks.

Ich bin schlichtweg begeistert von der WD Blue SN500 NVMe SSD - sie hat meine Erwartungen bei Weitem übertroffen und die Geschwindigkeit in meinem Computer auf ein neues Level gehoben! 🙌
Mit einer Lesegeschwindigkeit von bis zu 1.700 MB/s wird Ihr System unglaublich schnell.
Das Laden von Anwendungen, das Kopieren von Dateien und das Starten des Betriebssystems erfolgen in Bruchteilen von Sekunden. 💨💻
Die Installation war ein Kinderspiel, da die SSD im M.2-Format perfekt in meinen Laptop passte.
Sie ist unglaublich platzsparend und stört nicht den ästhetischen Look meines Computers. 💼👌
Die 250 GB Kapazität dieser SSD ist ideal für das Betriebssystem und wichtige Programme.
Kombiniert mit einer herkömmlichen Festplatte bietet sie die perfekte Balance zwischen Geschwindigkeit und Speicherplatz. 💾📁
WD ist bekannt für seine Zuverlässigkeit, und die Blue SN500 SSD ist keine Ausnahme.

Cosas a favor:
- En este caso hice un upgrade de 256 GB que traía de frabria a los 500 GB de esta unidad.
- No solo aumente el espacio, si no también la velocidad de mi equipo.
- Laptop no era lenta, pero con esta unidad aumento aun más su velocidad de respuesta en general.
- Lo he probado con video juegos y funciones en general y aun que lo he usado con tareas demandantes la unidad siempre esta prácticamente al 5 o 10% de su uso en cuanto a escritura y lectura.
- Nunca tuve problemas de compatibilidad.
Cosas en contra:
- Hasta el momento ninguna.
Lo volvería a comprar de ser necesario y su calidad precio fue muy bueno teniendo en cuenta otras alternativas que había mucho más caras.
L'unica cosa è che bisogna aggiornare il firmware, se no fa partire il computer dal BIOS ogni volta e all'inizio mi ha fatto credere che ci fossero problemi di compatibilità.
Molto soddisfatto.
