How to choose the right SSDChoosing an SSD with the required speed and good reliability for home, work and gaming
You can buy it, it didn't break down in a year, so it's fine.
7 August 2020 
Works for a year without any problems. Bought for the system and a couple of games.
The price is reasonable, considering I bought it in the Soviet times (scammed me for about a few hundred rubles), it's still not expensive.

Radical Upgrade

About a year ago, WD updated its line of Blue drives, beginning to use new memory with a vertical cell arrangement called 3D NAND. The WD Blue 3D NAND is a solid mid-range option in this updated lineup.

Support for Vital Technologies

The drive controller is a four-channel Marvell 88SS1074 chip. It supports the standard set of technologies for SSDs (NCQ, S.M.A.R.T., DEVSLP, and TRIM), which allow the SATA interface power to be automatically disabled to save battery life, automatically free unused blocks in flash memory, and monitor the disk's status in the background. All of this optimizes the device's performance, increasing its speed and longevity.

Speed Over 500 MB/s

The performance of the WD Blue 3D NAND is good, but somewhat ambiguous. On one hand, it achieves over 500 MB/s for sequential read and write in synthetic tests. Moreover, unlike drives with SLC caching, it maintains speed with large files. On the other hand, the speed of the WD Blue 3D NAND significantly drops during stress tests. However, these are stress tests, and in real life, few would abuse the drive in such a manner.

Reliable Data Protection

Additionally, the WD Blue 3D NAND offers solid data protection. Firstly, the SSD, which lacks moving parts, is much less susceptible to accidental damage and data loss than a regular HDD. Secondly, it has very good TBW ratings (100 TB) and Mean Time to Failure (1.75 million hours). Generally, the higher these numbers, the more durable and reliable the device. This is complemented by an official five-year warranty and a set of proprietary WD Dashboard software that automates the cloning of necessary data.
