Notes & Comparison:
https://www.amazon.com/Blue-NAND-...ref=sr_1_3
- This is the Old Generation (better) WD Blue. DO NOT PICK the New Generation WD Blue on Amazon because that is an entirely different entry level DRAM-less SSD (SA510, WDS100T3B0A)
- WDS100T2B0A spec:
- Controller: Marvell 88SS1074 (Dual-core, 4-ch, 8-CE/ch)
- DRAM: Yes, 1GB DDR3-1600 CL11
- NAND: Sandisk-Toshiba BiCS3 TLC, 64 layers
- TBW: 400
- Tier: High-end
- Overprovisioning: 92.7GB (10%)
- $2 less than Sandisk Ultra 3D 1TB which shares similar internal components (same company)
- $6 more than the also good Crucial MX500, but MX500 latest variant has 512MB DRAM (downgraded from 1GB), 360 TBW, single core SMI SM2258
- $8 more than Sandisk Plus SSD @$50, which is an entry-level DRAM-less SSD without a published TBW and only 3 yr warranty.
- Source: Techpowerup [techpowerup.com], HW Corner [hardware-corner.net]
- Sequential read speeds up to 560MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 530MB/s.³
- An industry-leading 1.75M hours mean time to failure (MTTF)⁴ and up to 400 terabytes written (TBW)⁵ for enhanced reliability.
- WD F.I.T. Lab™ certification for compatibility with a wide range of computers.
- Free downloadable software to monitor the status of your drive and clone a drive, or backup your data.
- Includes a 5-year limited warranty so upgrading your storage is worry-free.⁶

- The Sandisk SDSSDH3-1T00-G26 is $59.99 (new)
- The Sandisk SDSSDH3-1T00-G25 is $64.99 (old)
Usually a SKU change means controller firmware or internal component changes in the factory (like the latest variant of MX500). There is a chance that Sandisk swapped internal parts to lower the cost of the G26 but I couldn't find any reliable source about the differences. Given WD 3D is cheaper and the parts are well known, it's the safer and better choice imo. At these low prices, can't go very wrong with either choice or the MX500.If you do buy one, run periodic backups to avoid risking a painfully slow migration later on. (I lost track of my receipt, so no RMA'ing for me.
