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 closed to advertised speeds and I am happy.

Bought it for my PS5 and it works perfectly. The only thing to note is that you’ll need to buy a heat sink for it. I picked one up separately that fit and installed it into my PS5 without issue.

As advertised speeds, does get pretty hot 80c, paired it with rockets heat sink which cost about 20$ off Amazon, haven't broke 45-50c with it yet. File transfer multi 100gig files in a matter of a minutes. You won't be disappointed.

Purchased to replace a slightly slower NVMe boot drive. Can't really tell the difference when booting, but it benchmarks almost twice as fast as the other drive. You will need PCIE 4.0 to see these speeds, I used a B550 motherboard. Benchmarking this drive I see read speeds of over 7GB/s, and write speeds of over 5GB/s, see the benchmark output for details.

Bought for the sole purpose of installing it into my PS5. With a $12 heatsink bought elsewhere this installed very easily. Speed test after formatting was around 6500mb/s. I've been using it for about a month now and have had no issues with it. One of the highest rated SSDs to install into a PS5 so I highly recommend this instead of other brands.

If you need to upgrade your PS5's storage for more space, then get this one and then buy a third party heatink, preferably MHQJRH M.2 2280 SSD heatsink. So far, so good. No problems putting it together with heatsink and then installing it into my PS5. Got more space to install more games!
