Western Digital 1TB WD Blue SN550 NVMe Internal SSD - Gen3 x4 PCIe 8Gb/s, M.2 2280, 3D NAND, Up to 2,400 MB/s - WDS100T2B0C

Good product

I was lucky to have purchased this drive last year when it still used good TLC NAND, now the design has changed to either a few lower bin of TLC NAND or even QLC NAND. Due to this where in the past when the SLC cache was filled, the drive would drop to a write speed of around 800-900MB/s. With the recent redesign, the write speed after the SLC cache runs out is around 300-400MB/s. The SLC cache cache is around 6GB of the 500GB model and 12GB on the 1TB model

Its not as fast as samsung evo 970 pro but for regular use, you will not find any major difference.

1/ Be aware that you need an adapter to install on most desktop PCs (check your motherboard beforehand)

This is an absolutely amazing ssd.

It was really good choice between cost & performance

Reasonable transfer rate for the price point

Its not the top of the line model by far, but in my most recent build it does a great job. Using it as a boot and primary drive on an MSI Gaming Edge Mother Board. I dont notice any lag on startup or when starting frequently used apps.

Amazon has done an amazing job, delivering all the items I ordered.

so far so good
