WD_BLUE SN550 1TB M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 NVMe up to 2400 MB/s read speed

Product Information

As used for transfer speed, megabyte per second (MB/s) = one million bytes per second. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software components and configurations. The Western Digital Dashboard helps users maintain peak performance of the Western Digital SSD in Windows operating systems with a user-friendly graphical interface for the user. The Western Digital Dashboard includes tools for analysis of the disk (including the disk model, capacity, firmware version, and SMART attributes) and firmware updates. techgeek said:Looks like they need a little quality control over at WD. Look at all the flux left on the bottom right-hand corner (from the perspective of the picture) around all the SMD caps and diode near what I believe is the controller. Amazing that made it out of the factory like that.=========================================== As used for storage capacity, 1GB=1,000,000,000 bytes and 1TB=1,000,000,000,000 bytes. Actual user capacity may be less depending on operating environment. Thousands of hours of hardware, firmware and validation testing combine to advance the award-winning WD Blue heritage of quality and reliability.

NVMe goes mainstream with a powerful, cost-effective storage solution that adds to the reliability of an SSD.

Thank you!

Western Digital-designed controller and firmware paired with our latest 3D NAND for optimized, consistent performance. Almost looked like there was solder rework done by a rookie. I would have gotten more than my wrist slapped if I'd left something like that in one of our downhole tools. Flux can cause electrical leakage at higher temperatures. We value your content.

The Blue SN550’s NVMe 1.4-compliant controller interfaces with the host over a PCIe 3.0 x4 link, a step up from the x2 link the previous SN500 had, which helps performance a bit.techgeek said:Looks like they need a little quality control over at WD.

Also, nice review. I was worried it might not have the synthetic benchmarks, but I was glad when I finally got to them. Personally, I care mostly about synthetics. I like when random read IOPS are tested at queue depths 1, 2, and 4, FWIW. But QD1 is what matters most. Actually, that is probably underfill for the controller which is a small CSP chip. Considering the position (close to the connector) and the size/ type of the chip, the underfill is probably laid to protect against stress (thermally induced and mechanically from insertion). TBW (terabytes written) values calculated using JEDEC client workload (JESD219) and vary by product capacity. Build your ideal creation engine.

In the following list you can select (and also search for) devices that should be added to the comparison. You can select more than one device.restrict list:bit_user said:I hadn't noticed. I feel like it'd give a more intuitive sense of what happens to transfer speeds over time, if it were linear in both X & Y. Just my opinion. with a multi-gear ECC schemeHuh? That's the first I've ever heard of such a thing. I think that warrants an explanation. bit_user said:Huh? That's the first I've ever heard of such a thing. I think that warrants an explanation.

With a certification from the WD Functional Integrity Testing Lab (F.I.T. Lab™), every WD Blue SATA SSD is verified for compatibility with a wide range of desktop and laptop computers.

Corsair Dominator Titanium First Edition DDR5-6600 C32 2x32GB Review: Abundant Capacity And Performance I have QD 1-128 on 4K random and 128 seq results data for manufacturer comparison. Optimally, for synthetic testing, I'd do a filesize and QD sweep like I do with enterprise stuff, but for consumers, that would be a lot of data for little value. I used to plot QD1-4 and the average before, but I just don't think it is worth plotting beyond QD1 on random because one file size doesn't always relate to what real-world performance will be like. And, performance isn't hugely different between drives in QD2-4 that it matters to show. That, and I think because the application test results speak for themselves more than anything. At the end of the day, responsiveness to real-world like use is most important.
