  • In the end, the Western Digital Blue SN500 NVMe SSD is an amazing value at under $100, and hopefully we will get expanded sizes in the future. The drive is a B+M key configuration, so when you are looking at compatibility, make sure to check which key you...

  • Competitive 4K write results, Management software gets top marks, Decent TBW rating, Performs at manufacturer spec, Five-year warranty,
  • Beat in sequential tests by much faster, cost-competitive drives, No 1TB or larger capacity
  • Western Digital's latest update to its budget line of SSDs, the NVMe-equipped WD Blue SN500, is an able PCI Express M.2 competitor but outpaced for the price...

  • Solid performance, Software package, Power efficiency under load,
  • Very small SLC cache, Could use idle power optimization, Limited capacity options
  • The WD Blue SN500 delivers NVMe-class performance at SATA prices. With a five-year warranty, an in-house designed controller and NAND that supports endurance ratings of up to 300TBW, you can buy the drive in confidence. We just wish WD offered higher capa...

  • The WD Blue SN500 defies expectations. Its basic specifications say it's an entry-level NVMe drive: only two PCIe lanes (so it can't possibly exceed 2GB/s), a DRAMless controller that isn't using the NVMe Host Memory Buffer feature either, and a tiny SLC...

  • Outstanding price/performance and cost per GB, No thermal throttling, Much higher sequential speeds than SATA drives, 5-year warranty, Compact form factor
  • SLC cache could be bigger, Lack of DRAM affects random writes, Very low mixed-access performance, Peak transfer speeds not as high as on PCIe x4 SSDs, Could be much shorter—half the PCB is empty
  • The 500 GB version of the WD Blue SN500 NVMe SSD is currently listed online for $73. Outstanding price/performance and cost per GB No thermal throttling Much higher sequential speeds than SATA drives 5-year warranty Compact form factor SLC cache could be...

  • The WD Blue SN500 is a single-sided NVMe M.2 SSD designed for client PCs, gaming, and embedded applications. While WD's “Blue” family has been around for a while, the SN500 is the first of the family that utilizes NVMe technology which aims to give a perf...

  • Abstract:  Last month Western Digital released the WD Blue SN500 NVMe SSD and it was a rather significant launch as this is the first time we have seen a PCIe NVMe drive in the mainstream WD Blue series. PCIe NVMe drives have long been coveted by the high-end users...

  • The new WD Blue drive being an NVMe is exciting because it finally means that SATA based drives are going away and really drives like this also mean that the 2.5-inch format is on the way out as well when it comes to SSDs. I came into this review know...
