Western Digital 960GB WD Green SN350 NVMe Internal SSD Solid State Drive - Gen3 PCIe, M.2 2280, Up to 2,400 MB/s - WDS960G2G0C

We were looking for a low-cost NVMe drive with good performance and reliability. We have no complaints about the performance, and it is running without any issues. It is a significant upgrade from a rotating rust drive of the same capacity with only a modest increase in cost.

The WD Green SN350 1TB NVMe SSD is an excellent choice if you're looking for a solid, budget-friendly storage upgrade. With speeds of up to 3,200 MB/s, it significantly boosts system performance compared to a traditional SATA SSD or HDD. Boot times, file transfers, and overall system responsiveness have improved noticeably since I installed it.The Gen3 PCIe compatibility makes it a great fit for most mid-range systems, and the M.2 2280 form factor was easy to install on my motherboard without taking up extra space. Although it's a QLC SSD, the performance has been smooth for regular tasks like gaming, media editing, and day-to-day use, though it may not be the best for extremely heavy write-intensive tasks.For the price, it's hard to beat the value of this drive. It’s perfect for anyone looking to upgrade to NVMe speeds without spending too much. If you're after solid performance for general use and gaming, the WD Green SN350 is a fantastic choice

The pudict is simply amazing in every way the drive is quality and sead and write speeds are good but best of all the drive is built to last. I allways buy wd drives ive had one hdd drive since 15 years ago still working like a charm i sue it for storage of documents now due to speed limits, allso have a wd blue m. 2 on my main pc since 5 years ago and has outlived sevral kingston m. 2 drives and some samsung drives. Recomended

The 500 GB ssd fits perfectly in my laptop and I was successfully able to clone my old ssd of 256gb on this one without any problem. My laptop is faster now and I am fully satisfied with the item.

For my new PC I wanted two drives. The WD Blue is for the OS and applications, and for gaming I've chosen this WD Green. It's unashamedly on the low-end of NVME drives, but is reasonably priced and still FAR exceeds anything you can do with SATA. Putting it through benchmarks, it meets and even exceeds the advertised 2400MB/s speeds. I've personally seen ~2700-2900MB/s.In most cases, I can't imagine you would need a heatsink for this drive, but on my motherboard, the second NVME slot is right underneath the graphics card, so I actually did install a low-profile heatsink on mine, since anything is still better than nothing here. Highest temps I've seen were in the mid-60s (which is fine, as most drives are good up to 72-75C before they'll throttle down), but usually during gaming it sits around 55-58C, and at idle/light loads it's in the 40s.The box mine came in only listed Windows 7/8/10 as being compatible (whereas the box for the WD Blue lists Windows 11 as well). This could just be due to the fact that this particular drive was manufactured two months before Windows 11's official release, or maybe not, I don't know how far in advance Microsoft started handing around "Window's 11-Ready" certificates or whatever. As I planned on going with Windows 10 anyways, this didn't matter to me. It may not matter at ALL if you aren't going to use it as your OS drive, but I haven't tested that of course, so wanted to bring it up at least.The WD Green lineup has never had the best reputation when it comes to long-term reliability. It was a commonly-held view back when the lineup consisted of just HDDs, and it's still the case today with the NVMEs. That said, this thing is 60 bucks. It has a 3 year warranty. It's only been a month for me, but if it lasts me 3 years, I still think it'll have been worth it, and NVMEs as a whole should be cheaper overall by that point. Still, that reputation is what has relegated it to a "games only" use-case for me, and I think it's perfect for that.

Very good and affordable NVME, working as it should, great product.

I got this SSD for storing files. I don't use it for games, but it's important for me to have fast access to lots of files because of what I do. It works incredibly well and incredibly fast, and was a good purchase.

Great product. I did have to install its drivers / software for it to be reliably recognized by Windows 11. Works great though and the software monitors the SSD's health.

Lo recomiendo buen rendimiento hasta el momento sin problemas

Excelente produto.

Chegou rápido, muito antes do previsto. Estou há duas semana usando, meu notebook melhorou 1000%.

It took me 3 minutes to install it (second time will be 1 minute). Fast enough for my purposes, so far no issues.

A entrega e embalagem foram muito bem feitas.
