Sandisk WD Blue SN5100 2TB SSD Review: A Rhapsody in Blue
The Sandisk WD Blue SN5100 2TB SSD offers impressive performance, marking a significant improvement in QLC drives. With sequential read and write speeds of up to 7,100 MB/s and 6,700 MB/s, respectively, it competes well in the market. The drive is available in various capacities, with the 1TB and 2TB options offering the best performance. While pricing may be a concern, potential adjustments could make it a compelling budget SSD option. Sandisk's transition to QLC flash in the Blue SN5100 maintains good performance for typical users, despite concerns about endurance and affordability compared to TLC drives.
