Placed this into a Ugreen Thunderbolt 4 enclosure and this thing works great for all my video files and code compiles.

Drive failed after 3 months. Sent drive in for RMA and originally was offered an upgrade until support claimed it was "damaged" after holding it for a month. Will edit this if I end up getting a replacement or refund.

I installed the WD Black SN7100 4TB in my Lenovo Legion Go 2, and I’ve been really impressed so far. Performance is fast and smooth, but what I like most is that it runs cool and doesn’t seem to use much power, which is a big deal for a handheld. I was a little worried about heat and battery impact with a Gen 4 SSD, but it hasn’t been an issue at all. Load times are quicker, everything feels more responsive, and I haven’t noticed any thermal throttling.
One thing worth mentioning is that this drive is extra thin. If you’re upgrading a Legion Go 2, you’ll want to use a thermal pad around 1.5mm thick, because the SSD itself isn’t thick enough to make good contact with the original thermal pad. Once that’s taken care of, installation is straightforward and it works great.
Overall, it feels like a really good match for the Legion Go 2 if you want a lot of storage without adding extra heat or power draw.

Fast storage

At first I loaded as a clone drive MBT, you will only get 2TB. Format as GPT and you will get all 4TB of storage, actually 3.7TB. i use this as my gaming storage and work files with a 1TB SSD as a boot disk. Works amazing for the price. I have not done any speed testing but I blink and my game is loaded, that's all I have to say. So good!

The WD_BLACK SN7100 4TB NVMe SSD is the kind of upgrade that makes your entire system feel new. It’s fast, reliable, and built for who demand performance without compromise. Whether you’re gaming, editing, or just want the best storage this drive delivers. Even during extended gaming and rendering sessions, temps stayed cool without needing a third-party heatsink. Workloads and doesn’t throttle under pressure.

Great performance, fantastric power efficiency

This is hands down the most power efficient SSD you can buy, with performance as good as any PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive. Compared to the three year old SN850X the power draw is ~60% at full load and ~1% at idle, making it perfect for laptops both from a thermals and battery life perspective. Despite being without a DRAM, read speeds are only an imperceptible 0.7% slower whereas write speeds are a noticeable 9.5% faster. All results are based on Crystal Disk Mark tests on both SSDs which I own.

One of the best SSDs to use with gaming handhelds due to its power efficiency. Sucks it might no longer be in stock soon and I hope future iterations can have the same power to performance metrics this particular model outouts.
