According to our solid state drive (SSD) expert
The WD Black PCIe 256GB is an internal SSD for desktop PCs which perform heavy-duty tasks. With a high read speed of 2050MB/s and write speed of 700MB/s, this SSD can load games quickly and supports multitasking while running multiple programs. The drive only makes one write or read error in a year, so it's more reliable than most HDDs and SSDs. The drive prevents overheating and loss of performance, thanks to the integrated thermal management. The specially designed WD SSD Dashboard software monitors your disk's speed. The cloning software easily transfers your files, so you can use your data again.
This SSD is 80 millimeters long. Want to use this M.2 internal SSD? Make sure to check whether your motherboard supports this length. If this isn't the case, the SSD won't fit and you won't be able to install it.

Super nice design SSD from WD blue. People often think that this brand is inferior to the more expensive and more famous Samsung or similar brands. But believe me, WD blue does exactly what it promises, is built from super strong components and is a real standout in price quality! I went from Samsung to WD blue. Quality the same price lower, and a nice small design too! What more could you want :)

This is the 2nd WD Black that I buy and like the first I am very satisfied with the price/quality and speed of these drives. Perfect for cases where there's not much room to put regular SSDs in, such as Intel NUCs and Ultrabook laptops.
