Western Digital WD Blue SN5000 NVMe 4TB, Upto 5550MB/s R, 5000MB/s W, 5Y Warranty, PCIe Gen 4 NVMe M.2 (2280), Gaming Storage, Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (WDS100T4B0E)

It's a great purchase. Been using it since last couple of months and my laptop now boots quickly and loads content faster. Laptop's temperature is also under control, if you are going for a solid fix and within budget, just go with this SSD. Believe me i have put my countless nights comparing various SSDs and this one stands out. I have Dell Inspiron 5577 gaming. It was all well and powerful through many years. But every gadget ages, i tried upgrading RAM it ran good, mine had a HDD even after upgrading RAM, the disc usage was 100%. Then i decided to upgrade to a SSD after researching the compatibility of my laptop.

I have HDD laptop, but in that I have SSD slot, so I purchased this and install it in laptop than boot window in that and got super fat boot up speed. best purchese i have good build quality value for money good read write speed fit in slot perfectly

This is a major improvement for portable storage needs, offering a high-performance level and high-quality build. The product is strongly recommended for those wanting a fast and reliable NVMe SSD solution, whether internal or external enclosure setup.

Brilliant Product from WD. Good job 👏. I purchased 1TB variant. And it gives speed as specified on the product page. Have TCL NAND flash, with TBW rating of 600. And support HMB. Which is amazing at this price point. I recommend this product.

Best in budget Working great and with proper speed I'm using in b760m motherboard

Bought during GIF sale as I was building a new PC. Pretty easy to install. Is compatible with most modern motherboards if not all. Don't know about durability coz the overall size of NVMe SSDs are so small durability is a question for every product I guess not just this one. The NVMe SSDs also get quite hot. Speeds are great. Using mine only for OS drive for now.

Works like a charm but the Price Hike 😭. Western digital is the only brand which gives good warranty and easy claim for it..Go for it now if you want.

I bought this product on June 28th 2025. 1 TB version gen 4. I believe it has around 300 TBW. I ran a bunch of tests and I find the SSD ok. Unfortunately my tests are skewed because I put this in a gen 3 slot of my Ryzen 3 laptop. So, I bottlenecked it's performance. Anyways, it doesn't heat that much. It reached 85°c at the controller when I stressed it with sequential rw. But on a average it is 54°c under normal usage like gaming. Ignore the sequential performance. Look at the random 4k 1thread read write speed to know it's true gen 3 speed Random 4k Q1 T1 Read: 50 MBps Write: 104 MBps Sequential 1M Q1 T1 Read: 1300 MBps Write: 1310 MBps Conclusion: The build is ok. But you should not use this SSD in an nvme enclosure and expect it to give usb 3.2 speed. It barely reads and wrote beyond 34 MBps. Also, your nvme enclosure quality also heavily matters. But if you stick to an PCIe slot it is decent. It doesn't heat too much except under load. So this SSD is not useful for excessive write activities. Make sure to use thermal pads with this to cool the SSD controller a bit. Just don't use this to backup important stuff. Use it for gaming because SSD speed do not matter for that.
