According to our solid state drive (SSD) expert
Note: this M.2 SSD has a PCI Express (NVMe) interface and will only work if your system supports PCIe/NVMe. Make sure to check this in the manual of your laptop or motherboard.
The WD Blue SN550 NVMe SSD 250GB is a super fast SSD with a very high read speed up to 2.4GB/s and a write speed of 950MB/s. This way, your PC boots much faster than with a hard drive and you never have to wait long for a file or game to open. You can transfer a movie of 5GB in about 5 seconds. Are you writing it from the drive to a different device? That takes even less time. This SSD is energy-efficient, so your PC doesn't get as hot and your laptop doesn't use as much of its battery. With the included WD software, you can clone your data, make backups, and monitor your free storage space. You get a 5-year warranty for this SSD.

If you've been spoiled for a while with the fastest SSDs ever, you might be a little surprised with this SSD. You do of course sacrifice something for the low price, but you still get a super fast NVMe SSD in return. It may not be the very latest and doesn't have the most advanced techniques, but it does serve you as a fast boot drive. It is therefore definitely recommended if you want to be faster than with a SATA SSD, but don't want to spend the money for the absolute top class.

Bought this ssd to replace an existing ssd, installation was very easy to do. I can't say anything about reliability, but it comes with a standard 5 year warranty.
