Title: Worked (mostly) as advertised
Review: Initially, had trouble snapping it into a Satechi USB C Hub but after fumbling a bit I got it to seat. Formatting was a problem at first because the formatting screen did not look like the one on the help video on Youtube but with some trial and error, it finally formatted. Works great!

Title: 2TB NAS rated m2 SSD
Review: Working great so far. Seems to be a genuine drive. There aren’t a lot of options when it comes to NAS rated m2 SSD’s, so I’m glad this is a good product.Don’t forget to register your drive on the WD website for your warranty.

Review: As easy to install linux on to as any normal HDD would be, no weirdness encountered when doing so. I’ll put the review up to 5 stars if there are no problems with it over > 6 months.

Title: So far so good
Review: Reasonable price, I have this drive purely running Win 10 OS and Plex. So nothing to strenuous. Very little writes and reads. But boots quick. Will be purchasing a second to hold Plex library, which will be doing tons of reads, and few writes.

Review: I have bought many Western Digital hard-drves over the years because i know i’ve never had any issues with them. Purchased this WD Red SSD because my other SSD was over 9 years old and has seen its day. This Western Digital SSD is a great improvement. It is very fast, responsive and reliable. Speeds are as advertised and very easy to install. If you are looking for a very fast and reliabke SSD, please look no farther. I highly recommend it
