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

Product Information

True to its name, WD’s Blue SN550 comes with a blue PCB, in a single-sided M.2 2280 form factor, so it can fit in even the thinnest of devices. WD’s product team are fairly tight-lipped on disclosing hardware specifics enabling the Blue SN550 to perform how it does, but we managed to narrow things down a bit on our own. As used for storage capacity, one terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending on operating environment. A Western Digital Blue SATA SSD drive uses technology not only for higher capacities (up to 4TB in the 2.5" 7mm form factor 1) than the previous generation WD Blue SSDs, but also to help reduce cell-to-cell interference for enhanced reliability.

Keep your imagination flowing as you create faster while maintaining low power consumption. With read speeds up to 3,500 MB/s 3 (500GB – 2TB 1 models), your system can run up to 5X faster than our best SATA SSDs so you can stay in your creative moment.

A lot of authors on here don't seem to read the comments - not even the first few.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. TBW (terabytes written) values calculated using JEDEC client workload (JESD219) and vary by product capacity. 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.

Build your ideal creation engine. Upgrading your system or optimizing your next custom build with the slim M.2 2280 form factor. All you need is an NVMe™ slot. 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: 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. Most SSDs utilize DRAM or leverage NVMe’s Host Memory Buffer (HMB) feature to help accelerate Flash Translation Layer (FTL) tasks to ensure responsive performance. While the WD Blue SN500 went without DRAM or HMB and instead relied solely on a small portion of SRAM for the task, WD’s Blue SN550 adopts the feature. Windows reports a default allocation amount of 64MB of the host system’s DRAM. 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. The WD Blue SN550 NVMe SSD(WDS100T2B0C-00PXH0) is a good priced NVMe SSD for M.2 slots (2280). It features no DRAM buffer memory and uses 3 bit TLC memory chips with 96 layers. Officially Western Digital states 2.4 / 1.95 GB/s read / write speeds that we also could measure with CDM6 (2443 / 2019 MB/s).
