WD Blue 3D NAND Internal SSD 2.5 Inch SATA - 1 TB, Blue

Overall, the WD Blue SN550 was well ahead of its cost-comparative competition, showing that its added lanes and high 4K random read speeds make it a great choice for all-around users. Booting Windows 10With 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. Quería renovar mi PC con elementos más eficientes que los discos duros HDD de toda ka vida, así que mirando posibilidades, una de ellas era este tipo de memoria. No poseo conexión Nvme, pero a través de un adaptador pude probar a conectarla a un puerto PCI express (en mi caso tenía libre un PCIe x4)… y vaya diferencia…! Si con un disco duro Sata, ya rondaba los 500 MBs en velocidad máxima de lectura y escritura, con esta solución llegué a la nada desdeñable velocidad de 1500 MBs en lectura y 1400 MBs en escritura. Beim spielen in meinen Rechner ist mir letztens aufgefallen das meine Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus eine Temperatur über 65 Grad hat, trotz SSD-Kühler. The ultra-compact M.2 2280 WD Blue SATA SSD Drive goes through extensive compatibility and reliability testing to ensure it meets the high standards of the WD brand. A WD Blue SATA Internal SSD can last up to 1.75M hours MTTF 2 (mean time to failure), with up to 600 TBW 3 (terabytes written), and has built in technology to correct errors in real time.

Here the drive is strong in 4K random write speeds, and competitive in random read. AS-SSD Copy Tests Though it's a bit difficult to put them up against one another 1:1 (the nature of the copied data is different in each case), the scores in the AS-SSD copy tests reiterate much of the same story we saw in the PCMark 10 run: the WD Blue holds its own. When It's Good to Be Kinda Blue In these traces, the WD Blue SN550 regularly scores in the top tiers of its competitors when launching games like Overwatch or COD, though it lagged slightly behind more gaming-oriented drives like the Seagate FireCuda 510 and TeamGroup T-Force Cardea II in Battlefield 5. Launching Creative Applications

Here the drives are put through a very important test for creative types. As anyone who regularly works in programs like Adobe Premiere or Photoshop can tell you, oftentimes the most excruciating part of the whole experience is the time it takes for the program to launch. There are a lot of elements that creative applications need to load. 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 However, it should be noted, that these two tests don't tell the whole story of how a drive will perform for all creative applications. For example, cinema rendering programs like Cinema 4D may need to load dozens of different types of files at once, rather than just one large file like you might have encased in a Photoshop project or a movie that's being edited in Premiere.

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. First, there's the overall PCMark 10 Full System Drive Benchmark. This score represents how well drives do throughout the entire PCMark 10 run, and are the sanctioned scores presented by UL's software at the end of each run. This score includes a weighted average of every simulated activity that the PCMark 10 storage test runs, from copying files to launching games, booting an OS to running creative applications. It's a general indicator of how consistently a drive can perform through 23 different usage scenarios.

Now, a drive can operate just fine without a DRAM chip installed. Instead, the "map" is stored either on the NAND flash chips themselves, or can be stored temporarily in the RAM of the system you're booting into. From the SSD maker's point of view, leaving off the DRAM saves on production cost, thereby making the drive cheaper to manufacture, and cheaper for consumers in the end. However, this can have a marked effect on drives that are used to store operating systems, programs, or games, all of which use shallow-depth 4K writes and reads. As I alluded to in the introduction, the WD Blue SN550, like many other cheap SSDs, is a DRAM-less drive. For starters, let's define what DRAM is in an SSD context and what it's used for.

Depending on the complexity of your work and the number of elements in a scene, your software may have to load 3D models, sound files, physics elements, and more. The overall PCMark 10 score of a drive will tell a better story for how a drive built to handle these types of programs will do than these numbers alone. But they're nonetheless interesting fodder for folks who live and breathe these Adobe apps.Inspire creativity with a one-month membership to Adobe Creative Cloud offering access to some of the world’s best creative apps and services such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom, Premiere Pro and InDesign. 4 In this test the WD Blue SN550 holds its own against pricier drives like the Patriot P300, while also keeping pace with performers like the Seagate and TeamGroup.
