WD Blue SN580 WDS100T3B0E 1 TB

A productive and relatively inexpensive 1 TB M.2 SSD drive. It has a compact size that complies with the 2280 standard and is compatible with all motherboards equipped with an M.2 port with PCI-E 4.0 support. Despite the fact that it belongs to the mid-price category and is part of the Blue line, its capabilities are rather comparable to the more expensive and high-status SSDs from the WD Black line.

In fact, it is the first model in the history of the Blue series to be equipped with the high-speed PCI-E 4.0 interface. The heart of the device is a new generation bufferless controller from SanDisk, which was developed by the internal department of Western Digital. The basis is fast and durable memory - 112-layer 3D TLC NAND flash memory. The manufacturer claims identical linear read and write speeds - 4150 MB/s.

In addition to all this, the device has impressive IOPS indicators (600 thousand for reading and 750 thousand for writing), ensuring fast loading of the operating system, resource-intensive professional applications and modern games with a large and open game world. Despite the positioning and affordable price, the manufacturer equipped the drive with a five-year warranty instead of three years. And the rewriting resource is a respectable 600 TB.
