Reinstecken, einschalten, OS installieren. Passt. Die Geschwindigkeit von bis zu 2500 MB/s lesen und 2300MB/s schreiben ist für den Preis top. Ja, es gibt schnellere, aber die sind teurer. Bei der Zuverlässigkeit unterstellte ich gute Prognosen: 600TBW Haltbarkeit und ein Flash-Speicher aus eigener Herstellung bzw. aus einem Joint Venture von WD/Sandisk und Toshiba. Ja, Sandisk ist Teil von WD und der Name findet sich sogar ausgeschrieben auf einem Chip dieser SSD. Ich selbst bin sehr fokussiert darauf, bei so kritischen Bauteilen wie Datenspeichern - schließlich vertraut man ihnen sein digitales Leben an - zu wissen, wo die Speicherchips herkommen, idealerweise von Micron, Samsung, Intel oder Toshiba. Und wo findet man das garantiert? Klar, bei (Micron) Crucial, Microns Handelsmarke, (Samsung) Samsung, (Intel) Intel oder (WD/Toshiba) WD, Sandisk und Toshiba-OCZ. Zum kleinen Dämpfer in meiner Erwartung komme ich später.
Die Blue-Serie besitzt keinen DRAM-Cache, nutzt aber Teile des PC-RAMs als Cache für die Inhaltstabelle, so wie es nahezu alle DRAM-less NVMes machen. Ein kleiner SLC-Cache, der leider nicht üppig ausfällt und beim Schreiben die langsamen TLC-Zellen puffern soll, ist vorhanden, das heißt, bei hoher Schreibbelastung, wie sie aber beim Arbeiten oder Spielen quasi nie auftreten, sehr wohl aber z.B. beim Rendern eines Videos oder beim Installieren eines großen Software-Paketes, ist die hohe Schreibperformance alsbald dezimiert. Dennoch mehr als genug Leistung.
Die SSD ist mit aktuell etwa 140 Euro mit das Günstigste, was der Markt für PCIe 3.0 4-Lane NVMes hergibt und leistet dafür durchaus Gutes.
Jetzt zum Dämpfer: Nach einigen Wochen Betrieb kam es zu einem seltsamen Phänomen: Nach dem Einschalten des Rechners wurde die SSD nicht mehr erkannt. Spannend: etwas warten, Reset-Schalter drücken - und schon ist sie da und funktioniert. Die Fast Boot Funktion des UEFI meines Mainboards war allerdings nicht verfügbar, sprich trotz dass es eingeschaltet war, lief der volle Selbsttest. Und das lag, wie sich später herausstellte, tatsächlich an der SSD selbst. Nämlich bei der Gegenprüfung mit einer 128GB Transcend NVMe, ebenfalls 4-Lane PCIe 3.0, sofort erkannt und einwandfreier Fast Boot. Da es etwas nervte, immer nach dem Einschalten erst mal eine halbe Minute im UEFI zu verweilen, um dort den Resetschalter zu drücken, und der WD-Support auch nach mehreren Wochen keine Lösung liefern konnte, unterstellte ich einen Defekt, und da Amazon mit gewohnt gutem Service die SSD gegen Erstattung zurück nahm, kam einfach eine Samsung 970 Evo Plus rein.
Warum 4 Sterne Gesamtwertung? Ich habe zwar das Vertrauen in dieses Produkt etwas verloren, wie man an meinem Schwenk zu Samsung merkt - zumindest in Kombi mit dem X99-Chipsatz - aber finde die SSD insgesamt einen absoluten Preis-Leistungs-Kracher mit langer TBW-Lebensdauer (lange Lebensdauer der Speicherzellen), brauchbarer Geschwindigkeit, zum absoluten Low-Budget-Preis. Eigentlich ein 5-Sterne-Produkt in Preis-Leistung, der eine Punkt Abzug für den Ausfall, der aber auf ein Montagsmodell zurückzuführen sein kann, weshalb ich das zornige "1 Stern weil meine kaputt ist" als unfair ansehen würde. Wenn sich Kommentare über ähnliche Defekte jedoch häufen, würde ich auch die Rezension bearbeiten und nachträglich abwerten.
Wie auf meinen Bildern gut zu erkennen ist hat die SSD beim Einschalten des Laptops an dem einen Chip so heiß geglüht, dass die SSD selbst und mein M.2 Slot verbrannt wurden.
Meine alte Samsung M.2 wird jetzt von dem Slot nichtmehr erkannt. Laptop ist also auch noch beschädigt.

Die WD SN 550 NVMe ist den kleinen Preisaufschlag zu SATA-SSD's wert und ist eine absolut empfehlenswerte Investition, denn obwohl diese NVMe ohne extra DRAM-Cache auskommen muss, liefert sie als ultra-schnelles Datengrab konkurrenzlose Geschwindigkeitsvorteile ggü. SATA-SSD. Nur für Power-User, die öfter riesige Datenmengen verschieben/auslesen müssen, empfiehlt sich m.M.n. eher eine High-End-NVMe mit DRAM-Cache (das dann aber auch zu entsprechendem Preisaufschlag).
* günstig
* benchmarkt ok in gängigen Tests
* im täglichen Arbeiten fallen mir keine Performance-Einbrüche auf (Single-User-System, benutze diese SSD als Speicher-Erweiterung - Steam-Library)
Neutral:
* TLC-Speicher
* benutzt einen Teil des TLC-Speichers als SLC Cache - solange genug Platz frei gelassen wird
Negativ:
* ohne DRAM-Cache
* Funktionierte bei mir erst nach einem Bios-Update (X570 Chipsatz, AM4)
Für den Desktop ist es ausreichend, aber man sollte besser kein RAID damit bauen, das erzeugt wahrscheinlich zu viele IOPS, und der fehlende DRAM-Cache lässt dann die Leistung einbrechen.

**HOWEVER**
Since I got this drive, it has come out in the tech news that WD quietly downgraded the specs, and so the drive you buy may well not be the same device as the one that has been reviewed positively. Google "SN550 Downgrade" to see what I mean.
Having said that, if you're using this drive for something that isn't generating huge amounts of 4k content, it's still a good deal. As it happens, I have one of the original-spec items, but these sort of corporate shenanigans do grate somewhat...
These SSDs (or at the very least the one I have) also look to use SanDisk NAND and controllers, which are a reputable name brand that have a pretty solid reputation in the flash storage market, so I would expect to see this SSD last me a good number of years depending on the quality of the NAND used. Especially as I don't do an insane amount of write-intensive stuff, which is what wears these disks down fairly rapidly. Only time will tell there whether or not if this disk will last, but hey - that's what backups and manufacturer's warranty are for!!

I upgraded a Late 2014 MacMini (1.4 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5 A1347), and what a difference, I thought the Mac was past it's usefulness and I had been using it solely as a Plex server, but as my MacBook Pro is in for repair with Apple, I needed to use it for a week or so, but the old HDD was painfully slow (60MBs read write speeds) it would take almost 4 mins to boot up and every click was taking over 20 secs to react!
With this card installed the MacMini responds instantly like my MaBookPro, it's had a whole new lease of life, I'm truly amazed, boots macOS Monterey in under a minute. I'm currently getting 700MBs read and writes using this card (probably the maximum the MacMini can handle), but when that reaches it's end of life I'll reuse this card in an external Thunderbolt enclosure
If you're looking to do the same with an old Mac Mini you'll need one of these as well.
M.2 NGFF M-Key NVME SSD Converter Card Adapter for 2014 Mac Mini A1347
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08L3CJY94/
(NB: the screwdriver supplied with that adapter card won't work, you need a Torx 6 Security head, it comes with a Torx 6 NON Security head!).
there's plenty of videos online explaining how to do the upgrade, it's really easy, it will take 15mins tops. Then reboot holding down the Command R (recovery mode). open disk utility format the card, then install macOS... or linux or windows etc

Very easy to install these little drives & you don't really require any IT skills to do so... Just make sure to earth yourself so as to discharge any static electricity that may have built up in you before handling components such as these & you'll be fine ;)
This WD Blue Nvme does everything it's claimed & has been performing without issues for about a month after installing it.
Average read/ write speeds with tests resulted in it matching it's advertised speeds.
So once everything is factored in I think I made a wise choice, having chosen it to be a 2nd HD in a gaming laptop for storage of games from Steam, Origin & UPlay etc...
It's cheaper than the Corsair or Crucial alternatives & I would think as reliable if not more so than those 2 aforementioned competitors & their more expensive options available from them.
I've bought many a Western Digital hard drive over my many yrs of PC use be it gaming or business & TBH I can't recall ever having 1 WD die on me unlike many other brands namely Seagates.
So to sum up ;
Pros : Decent speeds reads & writes, built well (as all WD drives usually are) & by far the best Pro is it's cheap price !
Cons : Won't break any read or write speed tests if I'm being ultra ultra picky but I knew this going into the purchase so perhaps I'm being too harsh saying this is a Con but thought I'd try at least put in 1 thing in the Con section ;)
Best 2TB decent quality bang per buck NVme currently available IMHO ;)
