    WD always makes a solid memory device. The SSD runs great for my gaming needs and is compatible with most motherboards on the market.

    Easy to install and set up Windows as a boot drive. Not as fast as a WD Black drive but so much faster than a platter drive. Money well spent.

    Reliable, decent speeds of about 2400 MB/S read speeds on a TLC drive at about $1/GB (on sale at least)? Not mention Western Digital is a big name brand, so you know you can at least depend on their quality control and warranty. Decent boot drive and more than you'll ever need for gaming.

    i originally purchased the samsung evo 750 but i have to return it because of it is consistency overheat. This one seems to be perfect. the hottest temp was about 60c and it stay cool most of the time @ 40c. comparing to the evo, it was on the high 70s and averaging at the 60c. this might not be the fastest but it is good for thin and light laptop.
