Performance, Reliability, Price and Warranty! WD PCIE 512GB is way to go!
I have installed it to my Asus ROG G752VY. I got it on the first day it was released, since then it is the top bang for the buck.
It has been working without an issue (like other brands usually samsung has issues with Asus ROG series), WD worked like plug and play, utilized it, formatted it and good to go.
For the performance;
-I use for Gaming, web and app coding, running visual studio and sql server and adobe products straight from this drive and watching 4K movies thru and it works flawlessly without an issue.
-Reading and Writing and the specs provided by manufacturer are pretty much same when I went thru benchmarks and ssd tests.
-For the top performance of any drive like this, you have to make sure you have a compliant system to test and use it with. You put this ssd into an old system, you will not get the top speed out of it. Just like you cant run corolla with 100 octane racing fuel, it will not change your top speed unless you modify or upgrade for it with compliant system.
-Promising performance.
-Doesn't heat up much.
NOTE: I USE IT PRETTY HEAVILY
For the Price and Reliaibilty;
-It is the best price on the market right now with this promising performance compare to other models and brands
-Western Digital I have been using over 20 years, never had any terrible experience, and I Love WD products and their Customer Service
-5 Year warranty! You don't get that in this price range (even higher price range models or brands), WD is most reliable when it comes to customer service and Warranty
Conclusion;
I would definitely recommend this NVME PCI SSD to any type of user Pro or Home user, who is looking to get some great performance and good reliability on a great budget friendly price (Especially Gamers, 3D Designers, Coders, 4K Movie Enthusiasts). Buy it don't fear it, It will satisfy you more than you would expect.
TIP: Be smart and whatever disk you buy, you make sure you keep backup in a spinning disc old style HDD's, because any chip technology storage device (SSD, M.2, USB DRIVE etc.) once they are dead, you will not be able to retrieve 95% and more data back. Even if you have the best, top and most brand or model or you spent thousands of dollars that it promises forever warranty with %100 data recovery insurance, NO! ALWAYS KEEP BACKUP!
