## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic PCIe 4 ssd. Great specs for write/read, and especially sustained writes.
*by G***K on February 19, 2025*

I wanted a reliable, fast ssd for a thunderbolt 4/usb4 enclosure. After much research, I decided on this ssd. Yes, it's not the fastest ssd, and not the latest PCIe5. However, it delivers write/read speeds in excess of the bandwidth limitations. I'm getting write speeds of over 2775MB/s and read of over 2850MB/s. And, with the abundant hybrid cache, the sustained writes don't seem to recede. Super fast, with less temperature/power issues (than the top of the line, newer ssd cards). It delivers the same throughput as the newer, faster cards (which would max out at about the same level, due to the bandwidth limits). Saved some money, which is always a welcomed feature. In the near future, I'll spend the savings on a faster card (probably the WD SN850X) when I purchase a thunderbolt 5 enclosure.Very pleased with the specs and real world performance of this ssd. Five stars, definitely.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great value for additional storage needs
*by R***S on July 19, 2025*

Upon purchasing a new iMac, I realized I needed more storage to meet my needs. There are many SSD configurations that satisfy that need. This card was easy to install in the hub I had to purchase to accommodate my older USB accessories. The drive came formatted FAT, so in order to make it readable in Mac OS, you have to reformat it to APFS. It is a simple process and once formatted, it has worked flawlessly. It is very reasonably priced. I have no complaints about its read/write speed. It is much better than the old hard drives--I have not noticed any latency issues when editing video.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Blazing Fast and Reliable
*by J***N on July 31, 2025*

Upgraded to the WD Blue SN5000 1TB for my editing rig and wow — total game changer. Boot times are near-instant, large file transfers are buttery smooth, and apps open before I even finish clicking. Installation was a breeze, recognized immediately, and runs cool even under load. For the price, the performance feels unfair. Honestly don’t know why I waited this long. If you need a solid and affordable Gen 4 NVMe, this one’s a no-brainer.
