Do not buy anything from WD directly. Use a third party if you insist on having their products. The reason I say this is because they have delivered my product using UPS, who left it in an insecure location from where it was stolen (if it was actually my door, can't really tell from the picture), and now they refuse to help. They insisted I get a crime number which I have done and now they have just turned around, ordered me a 20% discount on my next purchase OR an extra years warranty on the item that has been stolen.

If you play a lot of games I highly recommend a 4TB Samsung SSD. Some games nowadays take up a lot memory like all COD games for example. Or a 2TB SSD is good too. Just my opinion i don't recommend a 1TB SSD unless if you don't play game that much then it's OK. Also whatever SSD you choose it's best with heatsink.
Ordered 990Pro today with intention to put it into enclosure and use as external storage for laptop. And just thought that it would be good to expand ps5 memory also and found this video. Well seems external storage question can wait.
I got the acer predator GM7000 4tb at 7,4000 mbps for $250. Amazing deal. It has cooling fpam but i tore it off and added a huge metal nvme heatsink for $10

Don't bother with WD stuff. by my experience WD products only seem to last anywhere from 3 months up to 5 years or so. If you're lucky they even work at all out of the box. Don't trust any company that makes deals with both M$ and Sony to have them be their official SSD. Seagate and samsung have always been my brands to go to. I just had a seagate product finally die out on me and it lasted for over 20 years. crazy.
Well, I would have loved the WD Black but I would have wanted the 4TB. Seagate? With my data? I don’t think so. If you value you data forget that witch.
