  • Abstract:  Storage is an often-overlooked part of computing. The speed of your hard drive can make a big difference to how fast your computer feels, particularly when it comes to booting up and opening apps. SSDs have played a huge part in making devices feel snappy...

  • Well priced for an entry level NVMe drive, Price, 5-year warranty
  • No 1TB model in the family, DRAM-less design effects random performance
  • WD's Blue range of drives covers the mainstream market segment and consists of traditional mechanical drives, as well as SATA based SSDs in both 2.5in and M.2 formats.The new Blue SN500 is the first NVMe drive to carry the Blue label and it marks a change...

  • Cheap, Speedy, NVMe specification
  • No 1TB option, Not as speedy as certain competitors
  • Otherwise, however, there's very little in it. That's no bad thing: both of these drives are cheap yet fast, offering performance in the most common file transfer tasks (rather than purely sequential tests) that's just a couple of steps down from the very...

  • 500GB maximum capacity
  • Western Digital were late to the NVMe SSD game, but it appears they've spent their time getting things right the first time around. The Black SN750 models have proven to be excellent in the enthusiast scene and now with their budget Blue SN500 options, we...

  • None, “Western Digital WD Blue SN500 delivers a solid performance for casual gaming rigs as well as office systems.”, Western Digital WD Blue 512GB M.2 NVMe SSD Review, Thank you, Western Digital, for providing us with this sample,
  • The terms entry-level and budget have changed and gotten a new meaning since NVMe drives entered the market. We get very well-performing drives for relatively little money. At least when we compare it to what it was not long ago.Western Digital created an...

  • Abstract:  This is the WD SN500 – their “blue” NVME SSD. For those of you so familiar with WD's naming scheme, it goes like this. “Black” is their highest performing drive in that category, so their Black SN750 SSD I reviewed a few months ago is a good bit faster th...

  • NVMe at affordable prices, Solid all-round performance, Five-year warranty
  • 1TB model
  • NVMe SSDs have predominantly focussed on the enthusiast end of the market, where ludicrously quick benchmark results have made SATA solutions feel poor in comparison.Yet while the very best drives are undoubtedly fast, there's an opportunity for mid-r...
