Bought one and returned. Windows 10 built in defragmenter refuses to TRIM this ssd. You'd need the WD proprietary software to maintain wear leveling. You're better off with a sabrent nano or roll...

But it has hardware encryption, so you don’t have to use Win10Pro and encrypt it with BitLocker

It doesn't matter because at the end of the day you will not be receiving 1000GB nor 1024GB.
935GB at best.

How is this a deal? This isn’t a good deal in my opinion. Just buy a 1TB nvme + enclosure

Trying to make it sound like its a lot. Instead of 1TB, they call it 1024GB.

I have given up the beef I had with companies called 1000GB drives 1TB but it is technically like calling a 15oz drink a pint. 1024GB IS a TB not 1000GB, worse is when I have bought a 1TB drive and...

Both are good. At that point just personal preference. I bought the costco sandisk when it was $129 for Father’s Day. Both are great but you can also buy your own nvme ssd and make one for cheaper.

IMO, these are a waste of money from a real utility perspective. You're better off buying a M.2 SATA/NVME drive and putting it in your own external enclosure. AT least that way you can always...

Good catch and those are read speeds not write. So probably a bit slower than that

No, a Tebibyte would be equivalent to 1,099.511627776 GBs. GB as in Gigabyte. 1024 in the context of this deal is not being listed as a Gibibyte, where 1 Tebibyte = 1024 Gibibytes
Tebi is the IEC...

Storage manufacturers use Giga/Tera, which are the powers of 10 (10^9/10^12 bytes). Windows and such use Gibi/Tebi which are the powers of 2 (2^30/2^40 bytes).
This drive is 1024 * 10^9 bytes =...

It's the same. The computer industry has converted to using decimal notation for simplicity (really for consumers). In decimal notation 1TB = 1000GB. In binary, 1TB = 1024GB.
1 Gigabyte is equal...

I believe there is a difference between 1TB and 1024GB, at least from a marketing perspective (can confirm from some previous hard drive purchases). Typically 1TB translates to 1000GB, which is less...
