Ofcourse.. 10 min after I order from Newegg.. Anyways Newegg is 10 bucks cheaper with the coupon. Otherwise would have preferred amazon due to their return policy.

Thanks got one for my new razer blade. Should I use this as a boot drive or leave the m. 2 that's already there?

This is a faster drive. So better to make it the boot or the system drive

I'm not sure....looking to put together a new build in the next while, and in the other thread someone posted this: https://www.maketecheasier.com/does-nvm ... -heatsink/ Seems to indicate that yes, you really should have a heatsink on them. Anyone have any experience with this?

conflicting info everywhere with respect to getting a heatsink for this or not... that said, if cheap enough without one, getting a heatsink on amazon is super cheap, like $15.

Getting a heatsink for a PCIe 3x4 M.2 SSD? Not necessary whatsoever. Only PCIe 4x4 is necessary. The SSD will always heat up... Heat dissipation is taken care of or not necessary...period. You won't kill the SSD or hurt it in any way and you would have to be doing extremely unusual to get it to throttle. No conflicting info. SSDs are sold to simply put them in M.2 slots of present 3x4 systems..or laptops.

Good deal. WD Blacks have better warranty (5 years) than their other lines.

unfortunately the Amazon pricematch is dead, looks like it is fulfilled through a 3rd party reseller now

does anyone have feedback on Newegg shipping? do they typically ship via CanadaPost?

They used UPS for all of my previous orders.

Tried all this and still didn't work probably due to router ad filtering. Went to mobile hot-spot and it finally came up in a different private browser.

Upvoted. Just bought this yesterday and arrived by Purolator this morning. Using as a 2nd M2 drive on my desktop Asus X370 mb that includes 2 M2 sockets. I already ready have a Samsung 970 500mb drive as a boot drive.
Comparisons are in order. Using CrystalDisk the 970 manages a best of 3105 read/1680 write speeds with idle/benchmark temps of 33C/55C. Note the 970 is fitted with a heat sink
that came with the mb. No fan.

The bare SN750: 3425/3097 speeds with idle/benchmark temps of 39C/61C. Needless to say I'm very happy about the performance but felt the temps were running a bit hot for my taste.

My cooling solution was to mount a Fractal Design 40mm fan directly over the drive and temps are now a very comfortable 32/48. This dramatic reduction is not something a heat sink is going
to even get close to. The fan cost me $8 from Canada Computers and runs virtually silent. I used a fan bracket to mount, also included with my motherboard.

My home build is a well ventilated overclocked 8500k system housed in a Fractal r5 case. Noctua air cooling, EVGA 1080Ti.

Only one day with this new drive but so far very satisfied with the purchase and cooling solution.

You should have a heatsink, with high load usage it would get hot and without heatsink the controller will clock things down to reduce temperature aka thermal throttling.

I have this version. On a PCIe 2.0 x4 slot on my old motherboard with heat sink. 500GB. Currently 87.8 Deg F on idle. It is my data drive, and read/write is used less. Copying a 6GB iso from a mechanical HDD 1TB took 60 seconds. Averaged 150MB/sec

Did you run any benchmark on it? On paper pcie 2.0 x4 has 2000MB/s bandwidth

That is something I am looking to figure out. How can I run a benchmark? Do I use WD's tool? My Motherboard is from 2012. Asus P8Z77-V-LX - 1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (x4 mode, black)

Is it recognized as a disk volume? In windows, can use crystal disk mark?
