Very good90/100
- Good everyday performance
- Very favourable
- The fastest NVMe SSD of all types that we have tested when writing 450 GB
- Peak performance requires HMB support
The WD Blue SN5000 is one of the fastest SSDs with host memory buffer (HMB) that we have tested to date. The test model even broke the record in our 450 GB write test. The price is also right: it is one of the cheapest NVMe SSDs on the market. We tested the model with 4 TB capacity.
