This is a "DRAM-less" SSD, so it uses part of the drive itself as a cache, and when that fills up during writing a lot of files at once or very large files, your performance is going to tank. So instead of those 5000 MB/s speeds you'll end up with something more like 500 MB/s.

As a basis for comparison, here's a TLC PNY drive:

The TBW is 3000 TBW instead of 1200 for the WD. And performance is a bit better, and it has a DRAM cache. But it also costs $100 more for the same amount of storage.
But for a lot of folks, they'll possibly never hit that TBW or even the performance once the cache is full will be fine. Depends what your budget is and what you'll be using it for! But it's a pretty good price for a lot of SSD storage that we haven't seen in awhile.

I could be wrong, but I think there are discounts from WD for students. I'm not a student.
