Deal Details
Just came out, 14% off. This is the successor to the the SN550, which initially had great reviews but was famously nerfed this year. DRAM-less but speeds are similar to the DRAM-less WD Black SN750 SE that got some (in my opinion) undeserved popularity considering the SN750 with DRAM was the same price a month back. PCIE 3.0

Interesting predicament for those of us that bought the nerfed SN550 500gb for 42.99.

Nope. TLC. This is a brand new model, not WD's attempt at rebranding a nerfed version of SN550, which they already botched by hiding it under SN550.

i have a 970 evo ssd and looking to buy another ssd.

does dram even matter these days?

I see quoted speeds that are way faster than my 970evo on dramless ssds


for $5 more, why not get a Crucial P5 ?

Ill leave the technicalities to the experts, but the P5 runs hotter than competitors. I'm building in a SFF case so that was a deal breaker.

It's not a big deal if you only do smaller writes and/or don't care about performance. Also, keep in mind that the marketing quoted speeds are usually (only) sequential reads and writes.

How do you tell the new version? Is the 1tb on Newegg for 82$ also sn570? The whole switch up debacle will forever haunt the blue lineup it's looking like

Transfer rate is different. WD SN570: Up to 3500 MBps vs SanDisk: 2400 megabytes per second. WD SN550 currently on sale $42.99 is more comparable​ to the Sand Disk you posted.

How about SN570 vs the Crucial P5? I'm read that the P5 runs hot? I'm planning on using it for a desktop main drive.

The sk hynix p31 500gb is $55.99. I feel its worth the extra $6 seeing you get ram and 980pro rivaling performance and unmatched power efficiency.

The one issue I notice on lower capacity drives is TBW is comparatively much lower or half in most of them.
