Western digital Blue SN500 NVMe, PCIe M.2 type 2280 - 500 GB [WDS500G1B0C]

Hardly any other interchangeable component in the PC provides such a noticeable increase in performance as a flash memory drive that replaces a magnetic hard drive. The SSDs are not only faster, they are also characterized by absolute silence and shock resistance (no mechanical parts), extremely low power consumption and - of course especially in the M.2 format - a small size. In addition, the connection via PCIe x4 and the NVMe protocol offers an unbeatable speed advantage of up to 8 Gbit / s.
