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 Black SN850 1TB is one of the newest generation WD Black M.2 NVMe SSDs. With a read speed of 7GB/s and a write speed of 5.3GB/s, this M.2 SSD is nearly 2 times faster than its predecessor. Your desktop boots demanding applications like games or CAD software in just a few seconds. These programs run faster and transferring files goes considerably faster than with a regular SSD as well. The 3D NAND technology makes the SSD more energy-efficient than comparable models. Keep an eye on everything with the WD SSD Dashboard. This displays the speed of your drive and has a gaming mode, which ensures the SSD keeps working at the highest speed while you game.

Great product, easy to install and works as advertised. I can't judge reliability after 1 month.

I chose this one because, according to the specs, it's exactly twice as fast as the cheaper Samsung EVO I have. That was a bit disappointing. Not because the WD is slower than the manufacturer says, but because the Samsung EVO is faster than Samsung stated. Yet the WD is visibly faster, and according to AS SSD Benchmark, the WD is even about 80% faster than the Samsung. It does cost a lot of money, but you have to pay something for your hobby. I can't say much about reliability, because I've only had it 1 day. Ditto for the quality, I can't say anything about that yet. Recommendation: yes. However, keep in mind that the theoretical maximum performance is only achievable with a top quality motherboard + fast processor. The installation is simple: insert the card, done. Windows 10 will then automatically guide you to initialize the disk.
