Since my OS drive ( ssd ) died last saturday I would advice You against that idea . In all honesty the ssd was from 2013, but it died without warning. And I still have HDD from 95 - 98 that work without a problem . So for me and my data I will always have a hdd in my PC. Good thing IT was only the OS and I did not lost any data

I´d say, that has some great value. More than enough of speed and 250GB is enough for OS and some software. I need to remember this product when building new pc for someone.
Im tempted to ditch my old HDD´s for a PCI-e card with 4 or more M.2 slots. I don´t need much of storage, but WD should bring higher version, like 1GB or 2GB.
But i really hate the colour of the PCB...
Most people tuck it away under the mobo M2 heatsink?

That's just lucky, the number of times an HDD was completely dead from one moment to the other for me easily outnumbers the SSDs that died on me (which is zero).
Regardless of any kind of storage, ... backup?
