Great GEN3 game drive but Test to make sure Dashboard software works BEFORE buying WD products

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2022

Capacity: 1TBVerified Purchase

UPDATE. FIrst still make sure to test out their software prior to buying their products. Install WD Dashboard now before you buy it. If you get a blank white screen then you won't be able to use their software. Some of my PC's work with the software and others not. Plenty of people expressing the same issue for a LONG time now. I did end up buying a 2nd open box SN570 1tb and also now a 2tb SN570 because the performance is so good. After I cloned over 900gb from my SX8200 I ran before and after ATTO speed tests on it. The drive being full had basically the same performance where my older SX8200 1TB has much slower speeds with the same cloned data on it. Was impressed with this drive. The open box item showed only around 500gb written to the drive. S/N shows till April 2027.

Original review
I'm sure the SN570 is a fine affordable drive but currently I would never(well I did buy 2 more)buy another WD NVMe product until they resolve years long issues with WD Dashboard software. To make matters worse you can't even use past working versions as it checks the internet for the latest build. The problem is Dashboard does not open up except for a blank white screen. Researching online and many people for years have had this issue and still no solution. Some people have been able to update the firmware via booting into Safe Mode with Networking. That did not work for me. The only reason I was able to access the drive through their software is because I have a 2yr old version of it installed on a 2nd PC in the home. I ultimately had to pull the SN570 from the intended PC, install it in a PCIe adapter card , install it in the unintended PC, update the firmware. I then cloned that 1tb NVMe I had in there to the SN570 and kept the SN570 in the unintended PC with the working dashboard software.
What you need to check BEFORE buying any WD SSD/NVMe drive is install their latest software and try to open it. If you get any sort of menu other than the blank white screen you should be fine. If you get a white screen then I would strongly recommend just buy any other good brand as you will turn this 5min install into hours and hours of research simply to get to the latest firmware.
TEST THEIR DASHBOARD SOFTWARE TO MAKE SURE IT WORKS BEFORE YOU BUY A WD DRIVE!!!

Probably not your first choice, but it's a good first choice

Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2022

Capacity: 1TBVerified Purchase

WD Blue. What could be more ho hum and boring than the product tier that isn't marked as a 'green' low power tier or a black high performance tier?

While that applied to the prior SN550, which was slow and definitely boring, this drive punches above it's weight and gets about the highest performance you can get from a gen 3 drive, while using low voltage.

Low voltage in an nvme drive can be pretty helpful in drive to system compatibility. Some of the high tier brands like Samsung have pretty much the same performance, only their drive controllers need more voltage than many comparably performing drives. Some motherboards just can't make that work, while a low performance OEM drive works well.

Further, less voltage through the controller means less heat on it, and heat on the controller is the thing to worry about with nvme drives. The flash chips don't like too much heat, but the controller will slow down if it gets too hot (thermal throttling).

Drives like the SN570 and the Hynix Gold P31 for gen 3 drives are both extremely low power, and can get away in a tight space like a laptop or mini pc without a heat sink without seeing performance drops.

Granted, even one of the $5-7 elastic band heat sinks you can buy on Amazon will more than adequately keep a controller chip cool enough under most circumstances and if you have the space to fit one it won't hurt at all.

Further, the price on this is a fair bit less than the high tier Samsung parts of equal performance, without losing much. Some samsung drives have fancy encryption options. Other than that, you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference, and the price of the SN570 has been around 75% of what a Samsung 980 sells for.

Drive comes with western digital acronis and the western digital SSD dashboard, which notified me of a firmware update and installed it seamlessly. So the drive cloning and backup, along with health and firmware monitoring can be easily downloaded. The firmware update tells me that if you're going to run this on another OS that doesn't have a WD dashboard app, that you might want to install it first into a windows pc and update it before sticking it into a chromebox or a linux computer.

I picked up a "used - adequate" as a bit of YOLO at a sharp discount, and got a nice clean drive well packaged that had 5 hours on it per crystaldiskinfo. No problems getting it to work.

Decent but needs CSM enabled…weird issues

Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2022

Capacity: 1TBVerified Purchase

I purchased a mobo & cpu combo which was an i5-11600kf with a Gigabyte Aorus Z590-E mobo but sent that back after it fried my Founders Edition 1080Ti and refused to let me boot to install Windows. With a KF I had no onboard gpu and so enabling CSM would mean no booting with any kind of graphics so the board would beep, restart, try to post, fail, beep, reboot, continue forever.

So I got the ASUS ROG Strix Z590-E and am still having trouble getting Windows to install. It has not been a joy at all. I’ve been doing this for 20+ years and never had so many problems! Is it the NVMe? Some might be but surely not all the issues. It’s 1TB, decently priced & reasonably fast so it is win-win-win!

I’ll try to update this review once I finally get Windows 10 or 11 Pro installed on the NVMe successfully; which, again, I have been unable to do at all!

*UPDATE*
Enabling CSM on the ASUS mobo made the WD 1TB NVME work perfectly. I have been super pleased with the WD drive. I need to do some testing to see how the drive compares to the SAMSUNG 970 EVO that it is replacing. On paper the 970 EVO is insanely better but the WD had 4x the space and is only for my OS & install of apps. All games and fast read/write needing applications will go on other drives. Since I have almost 100TB of combined HDD & SSD space I think I have enough other alternatives to use for that.

So what was the issue? The Gigabyte board is all I can think of. I know my Insignia branded USB card that is PCIE x1 also was causing problems as Windows was freaking out saying it was taking too much power. So was it the Insignia card too? Probably. So between Insignia & Gigabyte I now have a 1080 Ti FE that is dead & totally unusable. Never again will I want to do business with either of those companies. Cost me my $1100+ (when new) GPU.

WOW... Wish I'd installed this years ago! Mac Mini Late 2014 upgrade (A1347)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 20, 2021

Capacity: 1TBVerified Purchase

WD Blue SN570 1TB High-Performance M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD

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

Makes good on the 3.5Gb/s claim

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 20, 2021

Capacity: 500GBVerified Purchase

I ordered this to replace an mSATA disk that failed on me during normal use, and just off initial inspection I'm actually kind of impressed. Being able to cram 500GB of space (465GB formatted as NTFS) onto a single NAND chip and have it read at over 3.5GB/s is pretty epic.

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!!

Surprisingly fast write speed

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 23, 2021

Capacity: 1TBVerified Purchase

Paid £78 for the Blue SN570.
Im personally happy with the speed, and only time will tell if it is a reliable drive. No problems so far.

Only problem I had, which is not specific to this drive, was that installing the drive put my laptop into a pre bios boot loop. Other SSDs were doing this too. Figured out a fix, by changing a setting in Bios (AHCI to Intel optane)

Great drive

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 6, 2022

Capacity: 1TBVerified Purchase

This is a very good small form factor drive, seems to cut loading times by a few seconds compared to a SATA SSD, and running a benchmark appears to prove the theoretical speeds listed here.

That said, don't read too much into the I/O speeds - for anything that isn't niche workstation-level stuff you are unlikely to see any notable difference between this and a SATA SSD (obviously with an HDD you'll notice a huge difference). Only get this if you're looking for an SSD for more space, or an upgrade to an HDD, as it's not much more expensive than a SATA SSD - it's not worth getting it to replace a SATA SSD, a RAM upgrade would be more beneficial.

Very good boot drive but be warned its susstain write is not the best

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 28, 2022

Capacity: 500GBVerified Purchase

Dose Read at 3500Mb/s and Write at 3500Mb/s , also feels faster than my older NVMe .But there is a catch, if you are writing large files constantly the write speed will drop to the 1000Mb/s which is worst than the SN550. On the other hand if all you care about is daily use and loading files like large games etc, you will never slow down past 3500MB/s and will not feel the write issues. Such a shame though the SLC cash so small , it hurts the write performance really badly. if it was larger , it wouldn't fill so fast and this drive would be a 10 out 10 . it is 8 out of 10 for me. Perfect for a laptop and gaming drive upgrade but not good for demanding work applications . So avoid if you want to do REAL work
