Abstract: When Western Digital entered the solid-state storage market, their first products specifically targetted business customers. After they bought the Sandisk brand in 2015 they quickly branched out into the consumer sector with their WD Blue SSD range. Thes...
The SanDisk Ultra 3D is identical to the Blue 3D, but you may find it costs a little more. Shop for both, but choose the lower price. The Ultra 3D delivers comparable performance to the 850 EVO 1TB, but it costs much less. It's a very good drive, but once...

The original WD Blue SSD drive it would be fair to say, didn't cause much of a stir apart from the acknowledgement that WD had entered the highly competitive SSD market. However the new WD Blue SSD on the block, the Blue 3D NAND, will really stir things u...
Great price per GB, Excellent performance, Free software included
Storage is lacking, Performance, Speaking of performance, the WD Blue SSD can top off margely better performance than Samsung's EVO 860. By utilizing TLC NAND, the WDS250G2B0A has sequential read speeds of 560MB/s, and sequential write speeds of 530MB/s
Abstract: If you are looking for a Solid-State Drive (SSD) you've likely seen that some of the newest models on the market feature QLC NAND Flash memory. Quad-Level Cell (QLC) is the latest and greatest type of multi-level cell memory technology and SSDs using QLC...
The WD Blue 3D NAND 1TB and SanDisk Ultra 3D SSD 1TB drives really shocked us with how well they handled heavy workloads and sustained writes. There was virtually no slow down with sustained write activity! The BiCS3 64-layer TLC (triple level cell) 3D NA...
1TB capacity, 3D NAND Technology, Very good performance, Fast Marvell 88SS1074 controller
Expensive – Due to volatile memory prices, Final Thoughts, The Western Digital BLUE 1TB 3D NAND SSD is a must have, for anyone who wants a large and fast storage device, that can also be used as a boot drive. For the extreme content creators… you now have

No loss of sustained write speed as with other TLC SSDs, Excellent price per gigabyte, Available in 2.5-inch and M.2 form factors
Boring label design could turn off PC enthusiasts who like to show off their hardware
The Blue 3D SSD is the first TLC NAND drive whose sustained write performance nearly matches that of MLC NAND drives. Along with its Sandisk 3D Extreme sibling, by far the best bang for your buck in a SATA SSD...

The WD Blue 3D SSD and the SanDisk Ultra 3D have a lot going for them. We must admit that at first, we did have our doubts about their performance. The utilization of a 4-channel controller and 3D TLC didn't seem to make for a benchmarks leader. After the...
