I have owned, customized, and built a lot of computers over the past 30 years. Hard drives have come a long way in regards to speed and reliability. Western Digital (WD), once headquartered in Irvine, CA, and now in San Jose, has been one of the leading manufacturers.
WD introduced a COLOR CODING system to help consumers determine which drives to buy.
- GREEN is the lowest cost drive, and you get what you pay for: slowest performance and not the best reliability
- BLUE is best used for everyday, mainstream consumer use.
- BLACK takes BLUE a notch further by providing the best performance suitable for gaming, photographers, and videographers.
- RED is designed for NAS (Network Attached Storage) where the drive is expected to constantly be on and could be accessed by multiple business users at the same time. As such, they are very reliable and affordable from a per-GB perspective.
- PURPLE was made for digital video recording, such as surveillance, as those drives are constantly being written to
My CyberPower-made desktop gaming PC, in fact, is running two Western Digital drives: a 256GB Black NVMe M.2 and a 1TB Blue SATA 2.5" SSD. What does NVMe, SSD, SATA, and all this jargon mean?
WHAT DO THEY MEAN? SATA, SSD, NVMe, M.2, etc...
Hard disk drives (HDD) are mechanical devices whose performance was primarily based on the RPM (revolutions per minute) rating. They were generally 5400 or 7200 RPM (and beyond) -- the higher the number, the faster it would usually perform. As with anything mechanical, they break down over time as the components age.
Flash-memory based Solid State Drives (SSD) were introduced in the 1990s and were VERY expensive. SSD promised resistance to physical shock, faster performance, lower heat output, and more silent operation. Even to this day, SSD still cost more than similarly-sized HDDs.
SSD and HDD connect to your computer via multiple interfaces. Relative to this WD drive, we are only concerned with the SATA and PCIe ones.
SATA can connect two drive types:
1. The physically-larger 2.5" SATA SSD (nowadays used in most laptops and desktop PCs)
2. SATA M.2 SSD (typically used in Mini PCs and laptops)
M.2 SSD can also be connected to the newer, significantly faster PCIe interface: those drives are known as NVMe M.2 SSD.
This WD drive is an NVMe M.2 SSD. Now note the "2280" number.
WHAT ARE THESE NUMBERS: 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280?
- The first two digits correspond to the width of the drive.
- The last two are the length.
In the case of this WD, it is 22mm wide and 80mm long. This is important to know, especially with Mini PCs where space is scarce. If you purchase a 2280 drive and the computer only has room for 2230, you would not be able to use the former.
Let's look at the PROS and CONS of this WD Blue SN550 drive.
PROS
- Excellent price
- Great performance at up to 2400 MB/s read (the PCIe interface is capable of up to 8 Gb/s)
- VERY Easy to install. Plug in to the appropriate PCIe slot and secure with a single screw
- Five year warranty
CONS
- Not as fast as my existing 256GB WD Black NVMe M.2 drive or Samsung's Evo SSD line
- Costs more than similar-capacity SATA HDDs (Hard disk drives)
- Performance started dipping around the 15-20GB transfer mark
TIPS
- Because this WD NVMe drive is VERY high-performance (and more expensive than SATA HDD), I suggest using it to install Windows on so it boots and works fastest. Store your other data (such as applications) on the slower SATA M.2, and rarely-used things on larger-capacity, less expensive, but slower SATA HDDs.
- Before handling the WD NVMe, be sure you touch a grounded, metal object to remove static from your body. Of course, make sure the computer is powered off completely before installation.
NVMe is one of the highest-performance interfaces you can connect a storage device to. Cost has steadily been coming down, and it is not difficult to recommend this WD Blue SN550 drive to the average consumer for its excellent price and great performance. It is one of the top options for budget NVMe drives.
