WD_BLACK 1TB SN770 NVMe Internal Gaming SSD Solid State Drive - Gen4 PCIe, M.2 2280, Up to 5,150 MB/s - WDS100T3X0E

Exceeds expectations. I bought the 2tb version. The disk benchmark is actually higher than advertised. Granted, I have a pretty powerful processor, but I certainly wasnt expecting it to go over or even reach the advertised write speed. Also, this was on sale for 30% off when I bought it at $190. Extremely good value.

Although the specs seem to match for both the WD SN770 2TB and Dell 7550 (PCIe 4 should work in PCIe 3 systems at PCIe 3 speeds), the laptop simply would *NOT* recognize the SSD, no matter what I tried in the BIOS. Tried different M.2 slots to no avail, and Dell support was unable to help. However, I replaced this with the Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2TB and the 7550 detected it and ran with no issues at all.

Perfect in my Dell Latitude 7490 laptop, or in an external m.2 enclosure for use as a portable external hard drive.

So easy to install That I did it without taking out the graphics card or heat sink in front of my m2 slot. Windows found it no problem and it writes fast.

Great 2TB SSD with Gen 4 speeds.

Good performance

Mine came broken so I had to run out to Best Buy and pay 100$ for a SN850X which left a bad taste in my mouth.

Rather than the expensive MacSales (OWA) Auto Pro X2, for my 2015 MacBook Air, I used the WD Black 1TB SN770 with a Sintech NGFF M.2 nVME SSD Adapter Card .

Out there for the ones that need more context
