These things can actually get hot, and when they do they throttle speeds.

Not sure if heatsink is required, but it's never bad to keep things cool

This is currently my only storage as I build PC on a budget but I am blown away with how fast this thing is

This thing is so nimble it makes my little low-power embedded system (V1807B) seem faster than it really is.

This thing is silent as far as I can tell add long as I'm not doing backups

I love this thing and is one of my favorite purchases of all time.

I’ve only had this ssd for 5 months and it already went out, good thing I didnt install windows 10 on it

The best thing you can do is install SSD fresh if you are not savvy with this stuff and it will do a check list for you

this thing is fast, 4-5 times faster than my standard ssd

I'm serious, this thing is fast!I've gotten WD_Black storage devices before for their high quality, and not once have I ever had a problem with them

This thing was worth the price!

HUGE upgrade from a hard drive this thing is ridiculously fast it feels like i’m dreaming at times

Quick little thing, fast write speeds, installed win 10 pro in something like 11 seconds, worth it.

From the time I had this drive, it was never is fast as the stock drive, things always felt slower on the computer to me

This thing is fast, so fast that I can edit 5 Canon c300 raw multicam clips with color correction in davinci resolve.

The only thing is really hot it idles at

Blew my mind how fast things installed and loaded.

These things can actually get hot, and when they do they throttle speeds.

This little thing is awesome

The great thing is it is fast and no moving parts

so I can't give the best review, but at least from my perspective of hard drives, this thing is insane

Yes the damn thing will only fit in upside

This thing is crazy fast, I don't see loading screens in anything anymore, Windows boots up instantly after Bios screen and shuts down in a second

Great thing

good i like it
