DeeringAmps Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) WD Blue? I only buy the "black" hard drives, and only have experience, all good, with Samsung EVO SSD's. At $225 for a 2TB (didn't try the promo code), maybe I'm interested? These any good? T Edited August 21, 2019 by DeeringAmps added a line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Shelby Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 WD doesn't have a "black" edition SSD... and these have a 5 year Warranty, unlike the standard 3 year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 So the "blue" SSD's are their "best" SSD then. Thanks Lars T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musical Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I use a laptop with an Intel 2TB 660p NVME SSD and a 512GB SSD. The 2TB drive cost me about £170 at the beginning of the year. Having 2TB of rapid, low power, non-mechanical storage is wonderful. Previously I had a supposedly faster 512GB NVME drive but I was always having to compromise on samples, installs, etc. I don't notice any difference in real world speed. My advice is, whatever you do, as far as SSDs go, choose capacity over speed once the speed is reasonable (I'd say over 1,000 MB/s). Reinforcing this is that, at least as far as the Intel SSDs are concerned, as the size of the drive increases so does the size of the cache and the speed of sequential reads, writes and random reads.

I don't have faith in SSDs since my Intel failed in 3 of 5 years. WD is so easy to deal with when it comes to defective drives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
