For $30 more (normal price) you're into the TEAMGROUP MP44 4 TB, which has higher quality TLC storage.

Fair warning, all other sizes of SN5000 are TLC which is generally considered acceptable, the 4TB is QLC NAND.

You are better off paying more for a TLC drive imho.

Review: https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-c...d-review/2

"The WD Blue SN5000 SSD punches above its weight. Its QLC flash is the best we've ever seen, and its pSLC performance, buoyed by WD's hybrid cache design, is quite good. Performance ends up being solid and consistent everywhere it matters. The drive is also single-sided, power-efficient, and relatively cool-running. WD also backs it with useful software and a reasonable warranty. Our primary complaint ends up being cost: Will this 4TB become competitively priced, and how long before that happens?"

Nice deal! I just got it for file storage. It doesn't have the highest end NAND flash for those wondering and the read and write speeds definitely aren't the fastest but this is great for mass storage. I checked the price history and the lowest the 4TB has ever been was $240.

Samsung 990 Pro 4TB dropped to $300 on Amazon. Probably get a better deal by BF if you want a faster drive with twice the rated TBW.

Low relative to the higher end options, sure. But the majority of users are going to write to this thing maybe 2x or 3x in its lifetime, not 300x. And if someone does write to it that much I'd say they got their moneys worth.

While Amazon and Newegg list the model as WDS400T4B0E, Bestbuy and B&H list it as WDBS3F0040BNC-WRSN. What is the difference?

Yeah definitely low. Their WD blue SSDs & NVMes these days are garbo compared to a few years ago with corners cut. I only trust their red NVMes (much higher tbw for nas workloads), but their prices can suck if you don't find a deal. Those are Gen3, however.

Its just a warranty period, doesn't mean it keels over at that number.

TBW is as much about limiting warranty liability to control costs than it is to indicate quality of the drive.

I don't know of any homes that are going to sustain 670GB of writes every day for 5 years.

If it was an MP34, which doesn't seem like it's for sale any longer, you'd have a better comparison. I wouldn't call it higher quality, though...the controller and the flash on that drive are both mid-range quality.

Newegg will have a BF deal on the Samsung 990 Pro 4TB for $270.
