Conclusion
The WD Blue SN550 effectively doubles the performance of a traditional SATA-based SSD in demanding workloads.The WD Blue series of SSDs offers an easy way into the world of M.2 NVMe storage without breaking the bank. Offering industry-standard endurance and solid performance in every area, even with no buffering DRAM present on the SSD, there's plenty to like from the Blue SN550 range that's backed up by a five-year warranty.
We would prefer WD release a 2TB model for those who need capacity at an attractive price point, and some may need baked-in hardware security, but other than that, it's hard to criticise a value-first drive from an established manufacturer.
Want to add some more storage oomph in your PC? The WD Blue SN550 effectively doubles the performance of a traditional SATA-based SSD in demanding workloads, all without hurting the wallet unnecessarily.
