I got the 1tb version from vipoutlet a while back when they were $32/pc.
If you shuck it and put it into an NVMe port it's slower than using the box. And you can't use the box for other NVMe ssds.

Community Reviews

This WD Black D30 2TB is best understood as a fast external Xbox storage drive that can also be shucked for NVMe use. It delivers strong USB performance, with reports around 867 to 921 MB per second over USB C and even higher speeds in faster enclosures or direct PCIe use. It works well for non Series Xbox games, cold storage, and secondary capacity, but the internal drive appears to be a WD SN350QE style part with QLC or low end behavior, including a steep drop after cache fills. That makes it less appealing for PC shucking or heavy write workloads, especially since some orders also hit checkout and pricing issues.

If you buy a gen 3 drive and a nice aluminum tool free external enclosure your going to get a much more robust and useful little bit of kit. this price is not too bad at current AI bulsizzer market but still these products are made by morons. Lets make something less useful... and waste a bunch of plastic while were at it, ahhhh goood idea.....!

I sense another Sandisk cancellation debacle.
Yup. Cancelled yesterday claiming "Unable to verify purchase and declined out of caution. This is standard procedure and is not a reflection of you as a shopper." LOL. Gee thanks, wish I could say the same about you Sandisk, as this reflects poorly on you as a vendor. I'll look elsewhere every time moving forward just for that snarky comment when in reality you screwed up but lack accountability.

Firmware says SN350, but SN350 and SN550 can share the same controller so that means nothing. However, the speed is only 450MB/s, which is half of the advertised speed.
Update: after extensive write test, the drive does fall to 150MB/s after SLC cache is full, so very likely a QLC. I took it apart and it's a 2242 drive with SanDisk 20-82-10129-A2 controller; SanDisk 019603 2T00 NAND. 2T00 just notes it's the 2T unit. Can't find any other information online. Gonna have to return now.
Are returns free or is return shipping (even thought the product appears to be "nearly" a bait and switch scenario) on the buyer?

Can confirm the same. However running black magic via tb4 enclosure gives me 2000 r/w. However it's empty so those write speeds will probably last the first few kb 🙂!

Considering prices, I'll keep it some I needed spare capacity but will not do anything intensive

I plugged in a pcie slot directly and was able to get 1800 write. Can't remember the read speed and forgot to test the post cache write in direct nvme connection...
