Got this drive installed and Windows installed and I am now getting close to the speed specs after having to change a couple things. Please read my tips, it may help you and save some frustration and even maybe save you from returning it. To get that max speeds this needs to be installed in a PCIe 4.0 compatible motherboard with a PCIe 4.0 compatible CPU. I am using this in an Asus X570 Tuf Gaming Plus with a Ryzen 3900X. This also needs to be installed in the M.2 slot closest to the CPU which has a direct connection to the CPU, I initially had it in the bottom slot below the PCIe slots and that one is connected to the chipset which is slower, I was getting like half the write speeds at first until I switched it. You also need to download and install the WD SSD Dashboard so you can enable the Gaming Mode, otherwise again, speeds won't be as fast. After those couple things, I am now getting close to advertised speeds and I am happy. I will update my review if anything changes down the road.

5.0 颗星,最多 5 颗星I get only 33194 score on Passmark instead of the promised 38781. That is a big difference.

Easy install but be sure to use a slot off the CPU and not the motherboard as my TRX0-40 that slot not work. The speed score by cloning was way too low. I had to install from a Windows USB from scratch. to get the high speed. I have other WD and Seagate and an Intel 900P and would not buy to swap as not all that much faster. For new installs this is the top SSD to use. I would like to hear from others the magic to obtain 38781 speed on Passmark. My rig is a Threadripper 3970x Yes this new WD drive as my old similar others does not crash.

Getting similar numbers to TweakTown's review. Great for gaming, programming, and content creation. It's noticeably faster than the HP EX950 I just replaced, which was already pretty dang fast.

1.0 颗星,最多 5 颗星Maybe unusable as a SSD when connecting using a USB-C device

Undetectable by Windows or certain OSs when used with some USB-C Gen2 connections. Very odd, did work with a USB-A Gen2 connector but not with all C plugs. Using with USB-C Gen1 also failed to be detected. Likely something to do with the Gen4 PCIe design incapability with USB-C Gen 1 and certain Gen2. Best to use only with M.2 connection.
