This is the equivalent of buying a laptop with a 6-core Ryzen 5 but actually getting something with a 4-core Ryzen 3. And saying that you won't notice the difference between the old and new WD Blue until the SLC cache runs out is the same as saying, "Oh, but most people don't have a heavily-multithreaded workload to notice the difference between a Ryzen 5 and a Ryzen 3!" So? If you bought a mid-tier product, you should be getting a mid-tier product, not a budget-tier product deceptively labeled as a mid-tier product.
If WD is having supply issues and can't make enough TLC drives, then they should be selling more WD Greens. Instead of turning their more popular WD Blues into mislabeled WD Greens and pulling a fast one on their customers.
This should be an automatic deal-breaker for everyone. This is a trash-tier QLC drive now. Avoid it.
