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.

WD is only good if you're on a budget. Otherwise highly recommend samsung instead
The Bx500 are dram-less, and I bought dozens, and most of those slowed to unusable (far worse than HDD) speeds in less than a year. I'm not buying sata ssd without dram, or Crucial SSD again anytime soon after that. The Crucial secure erase did refresh their performance, but that's burdensome.

So for the rest of the PC users, you won't be able to tell a difference between a SATA SSD or a top of the line NVMe PCIe gen4 SSD for general use, work, gaming, etc.
Good luck with that message. I've been pointing this out (the fallacy and noticeable lack of performance differences with grossly over priced NVME SSDs) for years, but there are more people that simply lack the ability to understand than I\we can ever hope to educate.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it think.
