 So I had someone buy a new drive for us which I will not name at this time (otherwise it's like I am shilling for another company). So far the other drive works perfectly and I doubt it will happen again, but if it crashes after 20-26 days, I'll be back here to raise the star rating.  Overall, I bet the drive is great, but I wasted a lot of time and effort helping my brother which would have been nice if the drive did not fail. I will boost the rating if the new drive fails as then it would be fair, but at this state I believe I am being fair with the review

I bet the drive works well, but I got a lemon

 We should probably move on to benchmarks that matter a heck of a lot more to real workloads that we actually care about, and first up a classic boot to windows and we're only really looking at the p5 and pcie 4.0 drive, because i'm way too lazy to Install windows on all of my drives and dang both of these drives got to the desktop fast from initial boot. The p5 took about 16 seconds to load up the os, while the pcie 4.0 drive came out on top with a little over 14 seconds speedy stuff

 Unfortunately, the drive doesn't ship with its own heatsink, as some more expensive drives do and as we'll see a little later during the benchmarks. You'Re probably gon na need one, but i like to think that if you're buying a drive like this you'll be pairing it with a motherboard that ships with its own m.2 heatsinks software-wise the p5 pairs great with the crucial storage executive tool, which you can use to Easily upgrade the drive's firmware, monitor, temps and other stats clone your drive and mess around with security settings. It also lets you enable momentum cache, which essentially speeds the drive up even more in certain scenarios, by utilizing some of your spare ram, and now that we know a little more about the p5, let's go ahead and see what this thing can actually do

 Finally, taking high-speed ssds and running with them, we're definitely going to see games built to take advantage of that speed, more and more moving forward, which brings us back to the p5 while the p5 is priced well, looks great and performs as advertised. It does, unfortunately suffer from one big fall. It gets a little too toasty for my liking without a dedicated heatsink to cool it down the drive side at around 54 degrees at idle and jumped all the way up to 75 degrees, while under heavy load like during huge file transfers, while those temps aren't horrible By any means, they do make it one of the harder drives i've actually used, which is why i said earlier that, if you're buying a drive like this, i hope you're planning to pair it with a board that comes with its own dedicated m.2 heatsinks

 But first, let's get to know the p5. A little bit more, shall we, the p5 is a pcie gen, 3 nvme, so not quite as speedy as the new gen 4 drives that everyone's drooling over right now, but with quoted sequential, read and write speeds of 3 400 and 3 000 megabytes per second respectively. The boy ain't no slouch either the p5 range of ssds are all the m.2 2280 variety meaning the drives are 22 millimeters wide and 80 millimeters long, and they come in capacities ranging from 250 gigabyte all the way up to 2 terabytes, the p5s also ship with Crucial'S beefy new proprietary, 3rd gen, 6, core controllers and price wise

 I tried 3 different calls and two chat sessions, aweful experience.  I know that Windows 10 disabled hardware encryption by default a year or so ago but I also know the workarounds using GPO. Nothing worked, Bios was set for UEFI, and a lot of other settings and registry changes made. Result is not to use HW encryption on this hardware, Even if I got it working, I doubt its reliability and sustainability

 Nothing worked, Bios was set for UEFI, and a lot of other settings and registry changes made. Result is not to use HW encryption on this hardware, Even if I got it working, I doubt its reliability and sustainability.  For now, I'll keep the drive but will never buy Crucial products again.

I purchased the SSD based on the claimed spec and performance. After fitting on a new i5 desktop system, I ran a few disk testing utilities and found that the claimed performance is way exaggerated. Its about 50-70% of the numbers claimed. I am not a gamer and don't need intensive I/O so, I'll move on

Not as described, horrible support

 I reinstalled my old one and booted from it and formatted the new drive and started over. (I was not wasting time "fixing" a fresh CLONE. Who was to say other errors might not show up later?) I wanted to be safe versus sorry. Shortcuts get me in trouble sometimes

2 connection and a SATA connection. At least one of each to do the following. Otherwise, you will need to search online on how to clone your hard drive with what your present setup looks like.) Most laptops and computers have at least 2 connections

You Do Not Know What You Are Missing UNTIL You Add This To Your Computer

 The use files have a total combined size of 100 gigabytes, and in this test you can clearly see that the speed remains steady at around 1.26 gigabytes per second. However, this is with a relatively small chunk of data when compared with the total drive capacity in the next test, we can see that the crucial p5 can easily write around 210 gigabytes of data before the speed drops thanks to the cache being filled up. This is not bad at all

2 heatsinks included. So this temperature issue shouldn't be present, but it is a good thing to be aware of it. If you liked this review, then you can perhaps consider subscribing for more and also if you want to support the channel in a direct way. Then, in the description below you can find both the patreon and subscriber star pages of the channel

 However, once the space limit is reached, then the speed of the drive will lower until the file transfer or writing activity is completed afterwards. The ssd will recover its cache and it's back to the usual performance. One issue with the crucial p5 is the thermals, with no heatsink installed and tested for a longer period of time. The p5 easily reached a temperature of 100 degrees celsius which will trigger the ssd to thermal throttle and lower its temperature and thus lower its performance

 Thanks to its affordable pricing and its punchy performance, the sm550 gets a big thumbs up for me. If you're on a budget but you're looking to expand your storage without sacrificing performance, give this drive a shot. I know i'm going to be adding a couple of these to my ring and that's a wrap guys. I hope you enjoyed this video

 I use a 65.9 gigabytes folder that includes 2502 files and 110 folders. The sn550 took 77 821 milliseconds, with an average transfer rate of over 860 megabytes per second in the create file tests. The sn550 completed the task in 108 milliseconds and an average speed of 444

 Wd graciously extends a 5 year warranty to the sn550 to take the sn550 through its paces. I ran a couple of synthetic benchmarks and several real-world tests that cover transfer rates and gaming and hear the results. [, Music, ], [, Music, ], [, Music ]. Note that the rs motherboard comes with m

 The sn550 took 77 821 milliseconds, with an average transfer rate of over 860 megabytes per second in the create file tests. The sn550 completed the task in 108 milliseconds and an average speed of 444.444 megabytes per second for both files. Later, i also run the create file batch tests, which return these results: [, Music ], without resorting to manually timing game loading times

WD Blue SN550 NVMe m.2 SSD Review: BEST budget SSD!

 We run five different tests. We run that 20 times and we calculate the average speed of all of those 20 tests conducted. We run a one gigabyte, a 4 gigabyte, a 16 gigabyte, a 32 gigabyte and a 64 gigabyte test on all the 12 drives to give these results on contacts, and we actually retested everything as well as I mentioned, and I've been rebuilding our storage database. In my spare time this means, if you do the math and you calculate it, we ran the tests around 9000 times in total for all the benchmark runs to rebuild this nvme database and we only did thermal testing on the SN 550, because it's the focus of This video and to be honest, rebuilding all that data took us a colossal amount of time, and I didn't feel like it was really relevant and the drives tested are the only drives that we have here on hand and if I didn't test something it just means

 So don't take everything in this video as gospel. The next thing I was curious about was that the WD blue SN 550 doesn't include any heatsink which is actually pretty normal for a gen 3 Drive, so I tested it with and without a heatsink, and the numbers were basically the same within a margin of error. Of this, nothing interesting to report with that flash storage has an optimal operating temperature anyway, and I've mentioned this hundreds of times in other storage videos so being cold. Is it actually always optimal? Ok, so do I think the WD blue SN 550 is worth the money

5 inch SSD as their storage. Sometimes it's for budget purposes, and sometimes they just don't know, there's a better way to do SSDs. Now, if you go back to the price thing, the WD blue, drives of the mechanical world from years gone by were always the more budget for a good storage option. But what if WD had the same idea but instead applied that to nvme and got two drives and that's exactly where this drive comes in the WD blue SN, 550 yeah, what's uh, what's safe, this little drive here is worth your hard-earned money, [, Music, ] WD

 But not really sacrifice that much regen and generally MDOT. Two drugs are faster than their Sadr counterparts by a minimum factor of probably around four times. The SM 550 has adequate random, read and write performance of around 4 10 K to 405. A ops and the drive is also fully PCIe, gen3, capable and compatible and should also work in Gen 4 slots 2, and we did actually test this and it works perfectly

WD Blue SN550 1TB: Bang For Buck!

this excelent product, my pc runs smoothly beyond my expectations,I guess it works the same as a regular ssd, but it's more than that. Thanks WD

Powerfull

Though it's a bit difficult to put them up against one another 1:1 (the nature of the copied data is different in each case), the scores in the AS-SSD copy tests reiterate much of the same story we saw in the PCMark 10 run: the WD Blue holds its own.

Unlike those tests, which copy a file from another drive onto the testing drive and record the raw writing throughput to the drive (or reading capacity off of it to another drive), PCMark 10 is expressing the average bandwidth speed of a transfer when the file is on the same drive. If you're regularly moving files around on your drive from one folder to another, this test is a handy relative throughput measure.

In this test the WD Blue SN550 holds its own against pricier drives like the Patriot P300, while also keeping pace with performers like the Seagate and TeamGroup.

While the three games tested in PCMark 10 are primarily stored in small random 4K, tests from around the web have shown that MMORPGs can more often use the 16K file size, and other genres may go as large as anywhere from 32K up to 128K. However for the sake of these tests, 4K small random read is the most accurate metric to measure the launch speeds of three popular FPS titles: Battlefield 5, Overwatch, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.

WD Blue SN550 Review

  So I replaced StarTech’s adapter with “ 5Gbps 2 Port Hidden Inside USB 3.0 HUB to Express Card ExpressCard 54mm Adapter” that uses ASM Chipset Renesas uPD720202, hoping the newer chipset would work with JM583-based bridge adapter.  No, it didn’t. So next I replaced Sintech’s JMS583-based bridge adapter with RTL9210-based “ Extractme M

0 Card Adapter with UASP”. The Sintech’s enclosure uses JMS583 as the bridge adapter’s controller chip, and it did not seem compatible with StarTech’s ExpressCard USB3 adapter that is based on ASM Chipset Renesas uPD720200.  So I replaced StarTech’s adapter with “ 5Gbps 2 Port Hidden Inside USB 3.0 HUB to Express Card ExpressCard 54mm Adapter” that uses ASM Chipset Renesas uPD720202, hoping the newer chipset would work with JM583-based bridge adapter

 And the label of the WD Blue SN550 1TB NVMe Internal SSD (i.e. WDS100T2B0C), rather than that of the RTL9210-based adapter, is now passed through from the adapter to the computer, and it is visible in Device Manager -> Disk Drivers.  During idle, the RTL9210-based bridge adapter remains much cooler than JMS583-based adapter, whereas short-duration performance benchmarks are similar to each other

I've tried so many fixes and even contacted both Western Digital and my laptop's manufacturer's technical supports but neither of them could fix this. However, when I put the old SSD back in my laptop, it starts up just fine. So obviously this WD SN550 has poor compatibility (my laptop is the newest model of its brand)
