So I bought this drive back in October I installed the Windows operating system on it was enjoying it it was pretty quick. Then one day I decided to change my resolution on my computer the computer blanked out when I tried turning back on the hard drive it's unrecognizable I've used many different avenues of trying to get this hard drive to recognize it will not even through a USB device... terrible, terrible! Don't buy one!

Cannot update Firmware under Linux
on August 17, 2023
Posted by: NotSatisfied
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have installed this SSD in a Laptop and then installed Debian Linux. Unfortunately, WD does not support firmware updates under Linux even though there is a critical firmware update available.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is a terrible drive. I purchased one of these and after it died after a year and a half. I am a IT Professional and in all the years I have used NVMe M.2 drives Western Digital are the only drives that have failed.
