WD Blue. What could be more ho hum and boring than the product tier that isn't marked as a 'green' low power tier or a black high performance tier?While that applied to the prior SN550, which was slow and definitely boring, this drive punches above it's weight and gets about the highest performance you can get from a gen 3 drive, while using low voltage.Low voltage in an nvme drive can be pretty helpful in drive to system compatibility. Some of the high tier brands like Samsung have pretty much the same performance, only their drive controllers need more voltage than many comparably performing drives. Some motherboards just can't make that work, while a low performance OEM drive works well.Further, less voltage through the controller means less heat on it, and heat on the controller is the thing to worry about with nvme drives. The flash chips don't like too much heat, but the controller will slow down if it gets too hot (thermal throttling).Drives like the SN570 and the Hynix Gold P31 for gen 3 drives are both extremely low power, and can get away in a tight space like a laptop or mini pc without a heat sink without seeing performance drops.Granted, even one of the $5-7 elastic band heat sinks you can buy on Amazon will more than adequately keep a controller chip cool enough under most circumstances and if you have the space to fit one it won't hurt at all.Further, the price on this is a fair bit less than the high tier Samsung parts of equal performance, without losing much. Some samsung drives have fancy encryption options. Other than that, you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference, and the price of the SN570 has been around 75% of what a Samsung 980 sells for.Drive comes with western digital acronis and the western digital SSD dashboard, which notified me of a firmware update and installed it seamlessly. So the drive cloning and backup, along with health and firmware monitoring can be easily downloaded. The firmware update tells me that if you're going to run this on another OS that doesn't have a WD dashboard app, that you might want to install it first into a windows pc and update it before sticking it into a chromebox or a linux computer.I picked up a "used - adequate" as a bit of YOLO at a sharp discount, and got a nice clean drive well packaged that had 5 hours on it per crystaldiskinfo. No problems getting it to work.

This was relatively easy to instill. I also added a heat sink that I found for it on amazon, seems to help. I used clonezilla to clone the original drive, then used AOMEI partition manager to resize the cloned drives partition to fit the new larger drive.If you are unsure how to set this up, I found out after using this method that this new drive offers a free version of Acronis True Image for Western Digital. You will need to download this software and install it on your system BEFORE installing this drive if your planning on using it to replace your current system (C:\) drive. Once installed there are a couple of ways to go about cloning your drive. If you have a USB adaptor that can house an nvme ssd drive, or a PCIe adaptor that can house an nvme ssd drive (the method I chose), then you can run Acronis and select the tools section where you'll find the clone option. Or you can use Acronis to create a bootable USB thumb drive that will contain Acronis (called "Rescue Media Builder" in Acronis tools section). Then use Acronis to make a complete system backup of your system drive to another USB external drive (make sure the USB drive is large enough to hold the backup). Then swap out the current nvme drive for the new one, boot your computer with the Acronis bootable thumb drive in one of your USB ports and the USB drive with the system backup on it in another USB port. After Acronis boots you should be able to select "restore backup" and simply fallow the prompts, selecting the USB drive with the backup on it as the restore source. Acronis will then restore your system to the new drive.In my opinion, I would invest the very small amount of funds (about $20 or less as of this writing) for an PCIe adapter (if you have an open port in your computer), or an USB adaptor for you nvme ssd drive. Put the new drive in the adaptor, use Acronis to clone your system drive to the new drive, then shutdown your PC and swap out the old drive with the newly cloned drive and boot your PC. The advantage of doing it this way is that if your new drive is larger (data storage wise) than your old drive is, Acronis will automatically resize the cloned partition to use the whole size of the new drive. Of course you could do all that resizing manually like I did before I learned that Acronis would do it for me, but trust me - if you don't know how to resize or manipulate your drives partitions, you'll be far safer letting Acronis do it for you!Hope this helps someone. Thanks.
