M.2 SSDs come in both SATA and NVMe versions — NVMe is much faster. On a label or spec sheet, look for NVMe PCIe.

✔️ Match the Form Factor
Most WD NVMe SSDs are M.2 2280 size — check your device supports that.
✔️ PCIe Gen3 vs Gen4
Gen3: Great for typical desktop/laptop use (good balance).
Gen4: Much faster if your motherboard supports it — ideal for heavy workloads and fast rigs
