Seems to be WD's "New Shiny", with the introductory $15 off discount.

Good price just be advised that this drive has no DRAM cache so when buffers get full performance will tank. (same for the new WD Blue drives and some Sandisk's)

Supposedly it's slightly faster then the Gen 3 SN750 it replaced and that does have a DRAM cache until it runs out of buffer. Not sure I buy it.

A fine PS5 expansion drive, almost all reads.

I purchased a 1 tb version. Will let you all know of it's performance...

These m2 / pcie4 drives .. I hope they are faster than the really crappy (insert any version pcie3 / m2 drive) haha....

Or just about any ssd vs spinning rust. The difference s keep me up at night.
