\nThe 500GB model of this memory gives the best value for a price of $129.99<\/a> . They offer a 3 year warranty period for parts and labor, and provide a MTBF of up to 1.75 million hours (Tom’s Hardware<\/a>).
\nThe WD Blue’s performance is far from exciting. As a hard disk drive manufacturer, Western Digital is having trouble keeping up and updating with optimized solid state drives. Many hard drive companies fail to create newer and updated products when they are consumed in an old mindset. Although\u00a0the 1 TB Blue SSD breaks the 10,000 random read IOPS barrier, the price for this performance is steep (Tom’s Hardware<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Specifications (For 500GB) :\"\"<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Capacity<\/em>-500 Gb
\nRead<\/em>– 560 MBps
\nWrite<\/em>– 530 MBps
\nIOPS Read<\/em>– 95,000
\nIOPS Write<\/em>– 84,000<\/p>\n

Overall, the WD Blue is not worth the effort. If you’re paying the cheaper option, you’ll definitely see it in the performance. If you choose the better performance option, the price is ridiculous. It is just another piece of evidence that older companies that get stuck in their old ways are bound to fail.
