super interesting seeing comparison with WD black SN 770, got this one last year for 100$, great to see you get practically same performacne with WD blue for half the price today
Thanks Lana for making great videos. You cover most of the aspects, could you include power consumption section as well in future videos? I appreciate how well you have sorted and created playlists, it is very easy to find content. You are one of the best youtuber.
I like the spec of this drive a lot specially the price lol. I like that you mention the special case of portable and the warning about the console memory show your mastery about all uses of the drive. Your pal Coco
I bought open box model 1TB and 2TB Western Digital PCIe 4.0 SN850x SSD's to replace my aging Intel 670p OS and game storage drives. Blazing fast performance with DDR5 and a 13700k. Western Digital is putting out some really nice SSD's across the board
Thank you for including the graphs as well! Helped me make a decision on the types of SSD's I'll go with and amount of storage :) ; Thank you, thank you!
Thank you for posting this excellent product review. I built one system earlier this year with three (3) Western Digital Black SN850X drives. It was intended to be an acceptable, but not a high end, system for video editing. So far, the owner of that system says everything works well. I did have to do firmware updates on all 3 of the devices before I handed the new system over. So I expect the budget drives will likely need firmware updates, too.
Your SSD and GPU reviews have been so helpful as I try to get up to speed on current tech since the last PC build I did was about 8 years ago at this point. I particularly appreciate that you talk about power consumption in your GPU reviews. It's not something I've seen many reviewers mention, and the cost difference was not something I'd really considered before but definitely will now going forward. You've earned me as a subscriber. As for this SSD, WD released what I assume is an update to it, named WD SN5000 very recently. I'm sure I'm not the only one curious as to how it compares with this version and if the small price jump would be worth it for new buyers. I also don't know if it's different enough to warrant it's own video, but I look forward to your future reviews regardless. Cheers
I got one for free. The 2tb came on a used motherboard I bought on eBay from a PC parts recycler company. It was under the heatsink 🙂 edit: they also left a 1tb sn850x
It's amazing how inexpensive SSDs have become. Never thought I'd say it but for everyday tasks and even gaming DRAM-less with SLC caching and good warranties is completely viable.
Hi Nada. It was so pleasant to see you and your great reviews again. I would not have shown gen. 5 and gen. 4 results in the graphs. Seems like an apples-and-oranges comparison. Instead, I would have included some M.2 NVMe 4TB SSDs. Could you review my new CORSAIR VENGENCE 8100 pre-build Gamer PC? I can only find a few TH-cam video reviews. Mine is a monster regarding performance, size, and cost. *No Lego was harmed in the making of this comment.
I picked up the 2TB version or 90 euro's! I used the SN570 in several systems with pleasing performance, I will be glad to use its successor too. nvme drives really have gone down in price, I remember like 6 years ago I had to pay this amount for a 500GB SATA SSD.
At its current price the sn770, which is priced the same, is still a bit better. Runs cooler, has a higher tbw on the 2tb version and is about 500MBps faster in slc buffer mode.
@@ETin6666 I'm thinking more on the longer term when this drive inevitably gets priced on the same level as the SN570. It should just be the go-to option for most gamer builds.
@@AviGamer5021 if it's just for a gaming pc you really don't need to worry too much about the differences between each. I'd just get whichever is cheaper and opt for the 770 if they're the same price.
SN570 2TB is a completely different SSD than the other capacities of the SN570 series... There are videos on YT showing it. In the case of 2TB, the SN570 2TB is still a more profitable option, which is in fact the SN770 model, which is slightly limited by software
Great review and tips like always, shame this drive isn't in stock at Amazon Spain during this week black Friday sales, the next best option seems to be the 2TB Crucial P5 plus at 105€ (plus 6.3 for a Thermalright heatsink) compared to 118/121 or so from a third party seller+ the same heatsink... I will wait maybe some stock will enter through the week. Thanks a lot!
Thanks Lana for the review of these SSDs and making a recommendation to us normal consumers , I have been looking for a second drive that I might use inside a usb-nvme enclosure perhaps, this sn580 seems great and better than the nv2 in dramless category, it also beats my 980 pro 1tb in most tests Will the HMB concept also work if we use inside a usb-nvme enclosure? Since it'll be limited to 1000MBps max anyway so does hmb even matter, dram SSD may also perform similarly in an enclosure, right ? Please also do some tests with USB nvme enclosures for added info maybe, also if small icons can be added in graph to show dram/dram-less/hmb etc
The ssd's controller still controls the hmb (i'd call it SLC cache) just fine in a enclosure. You will still notice a difference between a dram ssd and slc cached ssd's like this one, depending on the workload. But it's far less difference when used on a desktop. I use Lexar nm710 2TB nvme's in my 2 m.2 enclosures, they are 20 euro's cheaper than WD but better specs, and also 5 year warranty. Shame they are missing in the lists, as the nm710 and nm790 would walk circles on most of em.
Bad DRAM-less drives are bad Good DRAM-less drives are... well, not as good as good drives with DRAM, but still fine for most uses. My works laptop has a WD blue DRAMless NVME drive and it's really fast.
Wow $100 for the 2TB version!? Regular price here in Canada is $250. But it's on sale right now for $174.99 which is still $40 more than exchange rate.
TLC memory , Yaaayy. Well is definitely worth as a boot drive. !!!! Depending on current price this can be a drive i could consider for replacing the drive i already have!!!
Can we have a review of the Lexar nm790? It would be interesting to see another implementation of a dram-less ssd and compare the results with this WD ssd as well as mainstream ssds like the kingston kc3000.
Hi there, I know this video is a bit old but I need help. The WD black sn770 2tb Or The WD blue sn580 2tb As my main drive for every day use and gaming, which one would you recommend? Thx 😊
@@AviGamer5021 HI 👋 there I bought the WD black SN770 the 2tb version I've been emulating ps3 switch xbox 360 and more plus playing pc games like GOW Tomb raider Cyberpunk Spider-man Miles Morales and load of indie games. I don't have a lot of modern pc games so honestly it doesn't get that hot to get my attention in checking the temperature
Had both an SN770 and the 850X at the same time and it was basically no difference in real use. Benchmarks was the only place there was any difference. So I sold the 850X. There was just no need for the extra speed.
They have to get the 2TB versions price down, too high for no dram which can matter down the line as it gets moved into an usb enclosure without hmb support.
Hi, i saw wd updated their blue series and it is now sn5000 is there any noticable difference compared to sn580? I would appreciate a comparison as black friday is near. Thank you! 😅
Would it be possible to add a sustained write speed test(Write the entire drive with huge files until it is full and show how much the speed slows down with time) to the SSD benchmarks? That's the only one I am really interested and it is difficult to find elsewhere. Thanks
According to TechPowerUp, sn580 drops to SATA speed at ~350GB mark. That means if you copy/write a 400GB (or anything bigger than 350gb) file to the disk, you will only get its marketed speed till ~350GB, after which it will come down to ~600mbps.
Great Video! I'm thinking of getting this as a second laptop drive and it will mostly store linux isos and media. Would it be worh getting the WD Black instead?
For mainly gaming pc (inculuding opertaing system) would u advise this ? the price is crazy cheap compared to others and gaming performece look even better than other more expensive drives
Nada ... can you please REVIEW the "TeamGroup T-Force Cardea Zero Z440" ? I believe it is the ONLY NVMe drive that has three times the normal TBW (tera bytes written), of any SSD !
IS this good as a C drive, I do not want to game on it, just want to use it as a C drive cuz my current 120gb SSD keeps getting full due to windows updates, or are there any better ssd out there?
If i install it on pcie 3.0 slot will the speed it produce will half or maximum output that can my system can generate will happen? I really need this answer
Wondering is this Blue SN 580 suitable for external casing Mac OS works for 24 hours, 7. days a week? Or i should go with Black SN 770 to benefit from the 20% efficiency technology.
@TechTesters I would getting acasis thunderbolt 3 external casing for the installation mac os. Would this solving the DRAM situation? Else I would have to go for older gen NVMe SSD. The black sn black 850 and above models seems overkill tech with mac mini 2018 I have here.
@@TechTesters Thank you! Really helpful advice. It has become really complicated to compare SSDs in general these days without having to become an expert yourself on the topic. 52 euros on amazon prime days for 1TB is hard to beat. I guess I'll buy two of them. One for my dads hackintosh build and one for my AM5 build. Gen 5 SSD can wait even though they might be supported by my motherboard. ^^ I think maybe you should do a simplified purchase advice video based on use case and them comparing models from different brands in each price range. Just like you did here.
250GB versions exist for people who dont need 500GB. No reason to spend any edditional money at all if you will never ever take advantage of the extra space of added speed. I only keep my OS on my 500GB 980 Pro. I wish it was a 250GB for which I could have spent less money.
@@TechTesters I have looked for a test, especially in Ratchet & Clank, to see if the SN580 can load between world as well at other drives. But I have not been able to find anything. But my guess is that it will do just fine since the WD SN750 SE looks to be ok, although moving games takes a little longer, the load times looks to be fine. And if one game in the future do not run well, that you always have the internal storage to fall back on. And the SN580 looks to be a lot better than the WD SN750 SE but the file transfer might be about the same (On the PS5).
Can you adjust the link to the SSD? When I click it, it's coming up as, "Cooler Master V1100 SFX Platinum ATX3.0". Thanks! I need one of those because my games are taking a while to load off the old dizzy drive.
No SSD will guarantee to work for 10 years. No SSD will even guarantee to work for 1 year (but you will have warranty). Will it likely survive 10 years with regular use? Probably. But anything can break.
As a boot disk, it's 100% fine. I have a KC3000, 500GB, and I'm only using 80GB (windows 11 + all my applications). I keep all my stuff on a 2nd disk (regular 4TB 2.5" SSD)
@@BOZ_11 Yes it's fine, but if the cost of a terabyte drive is not that much more money, why not get one? The last build I made I got the Crucial P5 2tb. I've built systems with 128 GB boot drives and they've filled up fast!
super interesting seeing comparison with WD black SN 770, got this one last year for 100$, great to see you get practically same performacne with WD blue for half the price today

Got so much clarity from this video.
In UK the 2TB SN770 is cheaper than the SN580. It was a clear choice for me a few month ago.
Kioxia/Toshiba’s TLC NAND + ssd made in WD’s plant in Malaysia = always a winning combination in terms of price-to-performance
I like the spec of this drive a lot specially the price lol. I like that you mention the special case of portable and the warning about the console memory show your mastery about all uses of the drive.

It's not really the lifespan though, it's a nice theoretical claim at best. I personally wouldn't put too much value in it.

Too bad they not making 4TB version. I would buy it for sure for double 2TB price.

Agreed! It's mostly cheap QLCs or mid-range and above TLCs. Transcend 250-series is priced well in our region, but not in all.

Looks like SN770 copy with a blue sticker instead of black.
Is wd sn580 gen4 compatible with acer predator helios 300?
Does dram less sdd make it age faster?

I have a 990 pro 2tb and a SN 580 2tb. My OS is on the 580 would it be more efficient to put the OS on the 990 pro since it's pretty much empty?
The 990 pro is the better drive, specs and quality wise, also that has DRAM. You should always try to put your OS on a drive with DRAM
Test Netac nv7000-t 4TB for 149 USD.

Glad you think so!
250 GB might have been okay 5 or 6 years ago. No one should be building a system with a 250 GB boot drive today.

@@BOZ_11 Yes it's fine, but if the cost of a terabyte drive is not that much more money, why not get one? The last build I made I got the Crucial P5 2tb. I've built systems with 128 GB boot drives and they've filled up fast!
@@MrDilldock yeah 128GB is too small. Gotta be 240GB minimum for a boot disk, or 500GB for comfort
Can i use this as secondary storage for my laptop?
Absolutely. Assuming your laptop has a slot for it.
Does it come with the mounting screw???
Unfortunately not
so i just overpaid for a kingston fury... :c
Not really, proper DRAM drives definitely have their purposes.
Is this ssd backwards compatible?
Yes
Will this work with ps5?
It can physically work but I wouldn’t recommend it. Buy a dram based drive for ps5.
Can I use it in gen 3 port?
Yes but it will act as a gen 3 ssd.
