  • Communication Protocol

    Most SSDs use SATA III or PCI Express.

    Almost all 2.5" SSDs connect via SATA III while most M.2 SSDs connect via PCI Express.


    PCI Express connection offers higher speeds, but this is mainly noticeable in demanding applications (high-resolution video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and is not necessary for everyday use.

    SATA III

    Modern hard drive connection standard.

    The majority of SSD hard drives use this standard. The motherboard must support it for the disk to operate at its maximum potential.

  • Write Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data recording. The larger the size, the faster the data recording.

    For an SSD that uses the SATA III protocol, the average recording speed is 300MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 1200MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

  • Read Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data reading. The larger the size, the faster the data reading speed.

    An average reading speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 600MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 2000MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

Capacity

The golden ratio of cost and capacity for now is 500GB and 1TB.

For gaming or professional programs that require a lot of space for their installation, a capacity of at least 500GB is recommended. 

As an indication, a 1TB hard drive can hold about 250 thousand photos taken with a 12MP camera or 250 movies.

Write Endurance (TBW)

Shows the total amount of data (in TB) that the SSD can write over its lifetime, according to the manufacturer’s specifications. A higher value means greater theoretical endurance for frequent data writes.

NAND Flash Type

The type of flash memory used by the SSD. It affects the drive's durability, performance, and cost.

Dimensions

Form Factor
M.2 (Type 2280)

Form Factor

The term form factor refers to the physical size of SSDs. The motherboard must support the form factor of the SSD in order for it to be installed.


The higher speeds offered by an NVMe drive are mainly applicable to demanding applications (such as high-definition video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and are not necessary for everyday use.

M.2 (Type 2280)
The motherboard must support the form factor in order for the SSD to be installed on it. It is worth noting that M.2 drives are divided into those that use the SATA protocol and those that use PCI Express. Of the SSDs that use the PCI Express protocol, most also support NVMe technology, which allows them even faster speeds if supported by the motherboard.

Performance

Read Speed
545 MB/s

Read Speed

Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data reading. The larger the size, the faster the data reading speed.

An average reading speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 600MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 2000MB/s.

These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable. 
Write Speed

Write Speed

Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data recording. The larger the size, the faster the data recording.

For an SSD that uses the SATA III protocol, the average recording speed is 300MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 1200MB/s.

These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.
Maximum 4KB Random Write
68000 IOPS

Maximum 4KB Random Write

Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk in data recording during general use, for example (opening the computer/using applications). The larger the size, the faster it is in these functions.

Average read speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 80,000 IOPS, while for one with NVMe it is 380,000 IOPS.

These differences make sense in particularly demanding use (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

    So-so kids. I would suggest giving a little more money for something better. It was purchased to upgrade a laptop, but the difference compared to a 2.5'' SSD is noticeable, maybe even up to 50% lower I would say, but there was no space and it was used in the M2 port. It's better to look for something slightly better.

    I put him on a relatively cheap laptop for €300, which I needed something basic and in terms of space and speed because it had a 30GB flash drive. The laptop opens in half the time it used to open and so far everything works well, with very good temperatures and everything running smoothly on the laptop. At the price of €20-€25, I think it's a very fair choice

    It was simply purchased due to its very low price and was installed in an Asrock motherboard.
    It played directly, seamlessly, and overall its performance is great for what it promises.
    I didn't notice any delays or freezing during its use, but it's still early days, time will tell.
    Due to its small size, it requires caution regarding what will be installed on it and some tweaking of the operating system for user files.
    It does not come with any diagnostic software, but considering its selling price, it is reasonable. However, you can download it from the WD website.
    It is not a performance beast, but for everyday use in budget systems, it is considered satisfactory.
    We will see how it performs.
