Relative to a mechanical hard drive it'll be way faster. Relative to other SSDs it may be faster or slower but the difference will be much smaller.
Blue SATA is probably the same as the variable BOM Sandisk SSD Plus drives. I have multiple of those used as replacements for mechanical drives and they've been fine.
Blue SN550 NVMe has gotten fairly good reviews as one of the fastest DRAMless drives. Example [tomshardware.com]from Tom's hardware. It's uses HMB so it will use up some of you system RAM though.

Definitely not built for chia mining. It's a good choice for normal PC usage

The wd blue 2.5 sata have dram. The sn550 m.2 sata do not.
These are actually also sold as the Sandisk Ultra 3D SSD. I had forgotten that WD has the even lower performance Green line.
In any case, I'm still wondering if / when we'll ever get back to the ~$80 1TB NVMe pricing from around Nov 2019. That was drives like the SX8200 with DRAM too.
do note that if you play games, some bad multiplayer anticheats will write multiple terabytes in one game session
