Hey, guys I am up and running with WD Blue SN570 1TB M.2 NVMe PCI-E Read:3500
MB/s Write:3000 MB/s Solid State Drive (WDS100T3B0C) as mine main boot ssd with OS windows 10 on it,  The original hdd 7200rpm I replaced with WD Blue™ 3D NAND SATAIII SSD, 1TB Read: 560MB/s; Write: 530MB/s (WDS100T2B0A) as my storage drive.  Here are my findings during the upgrade,  I first clone operating system windows to WD Blue 3D Nand sata III ssd without the M.2.  Windows boot in about 30 sec from turning on power.  Better improvement over the original 7200rpm hdd that it took 2 min.   Well then I plug in the M2 ssd into the slot and reboot the laptop, laptop boot from WD Blue 3D NAND SATAIII 1T.  OK I said, then I disconnected the WD Blue 3D NAND SATAIII SSD from laptop and  plug in M2 into slot  and reboot it.  Laptop recognized M2 and asked me to download OS into it so I followed the installation of OS (windows 64 bit).  Windows got installed into WD Blue SN570 1TB M.2 NVMe.  I updated all drives from HP Support Assistant after fresh windows install.   Then I plug in the  WD Blue™ 3D NAND SATAIII SSD 1T and format it.  I am using it as storage and backup only.  Now when I boot the laptop from power button it takes 8 sec to windows.  My impassion was WOW!  In the windows disc management I see two drives the WD SN 570, 1TB and WD blue 3d nand sataIII 1TB.  I guess the conclusion is if you want to use the M2 ssd in this particular model HP-Envy 17-bw0003ca you have to install fresh OS (windows) on M2 ssd period.  I downloaded WD dashboard to monitor my two drives.  Really nice program the the ssd drives.  Thank you guys for your support, I could do it without it.

You're very welcome.

That's great news.

Enjoy the blazing drive performance.

I have the same model 2.5" SSD in a few of my PC's.

That one has the best performance for the price, IMHO.

I also feel the same about the WD Blue SN570, but that model wasn't available yet when I bought a Crucial P5 SSD for my Dell desktop.

You are 100% the WD cost is great for their performance.  I think I paid for the WD 2.5 ssd 1T $87.99 can and for the WD M2 ssd 1T $94.99can. I think they both are coming with 5 year warranty.  I was looking at Samsung ssd but they were way way more money for the same or slightly better performance.  I am happy with WD so far and I hope it stays that way.  I heard the WD owns now Sandisk too.  Once more Paul, thank you and I wish you happy holidays.

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Anytime.

Yes, the WD Blue drives have the same 5-year warranty like the Samsungs do.

Glad to have been of assistance, and Happy Holidays to you as well!
