Review on 💾 WD Blue 3D NAND M.2 2280 SATA III 6 Gb/s Internal PC SSD - 1TB, Up to 560 MB/s - WDS100T2B0B by Western Digital by Jay Jeong

I bought a pair of these for my new Alienware 13 R3 7700HQ/Gtx 1060 laptop as a portable solution with all my files, apps and games. Out of curiosity, I decided to take my fast scratch drive, a Samsung 970 Evo 2TB NVME, off my desktop and do some informal Windows boot testing on the Evo and Blue 2TB, as well as a small number of Steam games and - Apps perform I use to browse. what will be the difference. When using the laptop, there is nothing remarkable that can already be ascertained. Minimal differences in all scenarios except internal data copy and bandwidth when an external 3.1 Gen II USB drive supported the Evo 850 4TB and my network was simultaneously copying files to the appropriate devices where the SATA interface prevented the WD Blue 2TB from doing so a stadium. . Boot times from Windows to games and apps were pretty much the same when switching boot devices. You were set up the same way you were when you first installed Windows, right down to the last app and file you downloaded. The only place where Evo really had an advantage was in the parallel data retrieval scenario. On a desktop as a fast and bulky scratch drive, the WD 2TB was definitely slower than the Evo NVME 2TB. Maybe the current $200 price difference, probably not. Priced at $290.00 at the time of writing I am very happy with the price of two for my laptop. t. It never hurts to ask for specific and specific use cases from the community that knows about them, but this is my general guideline. In summary, the WD Blue 2 TB m.2 SATA SSD is a solid state drive that will serve you well.
