Sorry I buy for my computer

You can easily install the new SSD in your Asus B550 mainboard, as it supports at least one M.2 slot with PCIe 4.0 x4. Whether you need a heat sink depends on whether your motherboard already has one or whether you want to retrofit one. The heat sink that came with your 1TB SSD is usually designed for this particular SSD and cannot be easily transferred to another SSD, as the dimensions and fastenings do not always fit. The WD Black SN850X (2000 GB, M.2 2280) is compatible with your mainboard and can be operated with or without a heat sink. If you value low temperatures, a suitable heat sink is recommended, but it is not a must. Whether the existing heat sink fits depends on the design - heat sinks for M.2 2280 SSDs are usually universal, but the mounting can vary. You can therefore order the new SSD without a heat sink and decide later whether you want to retrofit one. The WD Black SN850X is a very fast and reliable choice for your system. If you are unsure whether the existing heat sink will fit, check the dimensions and mounting options. The SSD is compatible with your mainboard and also works without a heat sink. If you want to use a heat sink, make sure that it is suitable for M.2 2280. The WD Black SN850X is a very good choice for your project.

I have the model with 4tb and without heat sink. Mine is fitted on one side. If you have space for the heatsink, then go for the variant with heatsink, as the SSD gets hot under load.

To choose between the Kingston KC3000 and the Western Digital Black SN850X, here are a few key points to consider: - Transfer speed: The Kingston KC3000 offers faster sequential write speeds of up to 7000 MB/s, while the Black SN850X achieves 6600 MB/s. - Durability: The Kingston KC3000 generally has better durability in terms of TBW (Total Bytes Written), meaning it can withstand more write cycles before starting to show signs of degradation. - Random performance: Both SSDs offer similar random read performance, but the Kingston KC3000 may have a slight advantage in random writes. In summary, if you're looking for write speed and durability, the Kingston KC3000 may be a better option. If you're looking for excellent sequential read and value for money, the Black SN850X remains an excellent alternative.

It seems that there are a few issues with the detection of the WD Black SN850X SSDs. Here are some possible solutions: 1. driver check: make sure you have the latest drivers installed. Sometimes older drivers can cause problems. In your case, the device manager says that the drivers are up to date, but it might be helpful to check the drivers manually and update them if necessary. 2. WD Dashboard: There are reports that the WD Dashboard sometimes has problems recognising NVMe SSDs in Windows 11. Try updating the dashboard or using alternative tools such as CrystalDiskInfo to monitor the SSDs. 3. BIOS settings: Check the BIOS settings to make sure the M.2 slots are configured correctly. Sometimes resetting the BIOS settings to the default values can help. 4. recognition as HDD: If the SSDs are recognised as HDDs, this could indicate a problem with recognition by the operating system. Try to check the SSDs in the Device Manager and make sure that they are displayed under the NVMe controller. If these steps do not help, it may be helpful to look for more information in the forum or at Western Digital Support.

The WD_BLACK SN850X SSD is designed to handle intense gaming sessions with features like Adaptive Thermal Management, which helps manage heat generation. However, installing it as a second disk in a laptop may still pose thermal concerns, especially if the laptop's cooling system is not robust. It's advisable to ensure your laptop has adequate cooling capabilities to maintain optimal performance and prevent overheating.

If you want to know with compatibility whether you can install the SN850X NVME in the mentioned laptop model, then the answer is yes. As I understand the information I have researched, the laptop mentioned even has a free M.2 slot, so you can continue to use the data carrier already installed. The two M.2 slots are mentioned here: https://youtu.be/lPSxGmrqJzA?feature=shared&t=888

For an external boot volume for your MacBook Pro 2019, both the WD Black SN770 and the Samsung 990 Pro could be suitable. Both SSDs are very powerful, but there are some differences and factors you should consider: Budget: If you're budget-conscious, the WD Black SN770 might be a good choice. However, if you want the best performance and are willing to spend more, the Samsung 990 Pro is an excellent option. Thermal management: If you plan to use the SSD intensively (e.g. for video or photo editing), look for a good enclosure with sufficient heat dissipation.Compatibility: Both enclosures suggested are compatible with both SSDs and offer good performance and cooling. Both SSDs and the enclosures mentioned offer an excellent solution for an external boot volume for your MacBook Pro.

Normally yes, you need to remove the stickers to get the best possible heat dissipation.

...if a heat sink is already present on the mainboard, buy one without a heat sink, or if no heat sink is present, buy one with a heat sink - it's easy!

I have installed them in another legion 7 pro 16 (4090). So I can't confirm 100%. But I would say 99% yes as they should be almost identical.

Yes, 2280 is only the shape of the M.2 SSD. The important thing is whether your laptop has PCI 4.0 or 3.0. Both work, but with 3.0 the SSD does not have the maximum speed. Buy a cheaper one with PCI 3.0. For everything else, there is the Internet and a search function

So I didn't find anything with 4000GB at Galaxus. But how about this one? Kingston FURY Renegade with Heatsink (4000 GB, M.2 2280) In the questions about this product, someone has already written that he uses the 2TB version in the PS5. Greetings Mysti

Found out myself: I believe that the cashback is valid and have submitted my proof of purchase. However, WD's internal designation for this SSD is different, which means you first have to find out which one you have to select.

After consultation with our purchasing department, we cannot offer you a tested, suitable heatsink. A ready-made 4 TB bundle with heat sink is available from Seagate, for example.

According to https://psref.lenovo.com/Product/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_P17_Gen_2?MT=20YU, these ThinkPads only support M.2 2280 SSDs up to 2TB.

I can't find any information about this in official specifications, but according to test reports like https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/wd-black-sn850x-ssd-review-back-in-black, the 4 TB version of the SN850X should also be single-sided.

The product looks exactly like this, doesn't it? You can see very well that it only has a thin layer on the chips, like the Crucial P3. Heatspreaders are actually always thicker.
