In our benchmarks tests, we managed to get a maximum read speed of around 557.8 MB/sec and write speed of up to 520 MB/sec. This is very good, all thanks to the super fast Marvell 88SS1074 controller inside. If you've noticed lately, I've started to do a lot of videos, unboxings and vlogs.

1TB capacity; 3D NAND Technology; Very good performance; Fast Marvell 88SS1074 controller; Cheaper than the WD Blue 3D NAND SSD

We have been nothing but impressed by both the WD Blue 3D SSD and the SanDisk Ultra 3D in today's review. Bombarding these twins with benchmark after benchmark only helped to establish their rank as some of the best performing SATA 6Gb/s SSDs out.

You might wonder why we're testing two solid state drives in the one review? Well, it's because WD is being a little tricky with its marketing for these two products. The WD Blue 3D range of drives is aimed at resellers and system builders, while the SanDisk Ultra 3D drives are being marketed to...

aawsom thing to buy make my latop super fast

Don't know what happened to SanDisk... I guess Western Digital. I have a house full of SanDisk products... but no more. I got the SSD Drive, and the cable to transfer my drive. It wouldn't work. It messed up the SSD Drive. Contacted Chat Support -- They said, go buy another software and try it.

Great drive for a great price. Caught this on sale just as I was running out of room on my Corsair 128GB SSD. The drive went in easily and works flawlessly. The only drawback is that the drive doesn't come with a bracket to fit a 3.5" bay, nor does it have a SATA cable, so you'll have to purchase...

More than two years after the release of the Samsung SSD 850 EVO series of SSDs, we're finally starting to see a few challengers to its supremacy, thanks to the adoption of 3D NAND by some of its rivals.

Very good overall performance; aggressively priced; includes cloning software

Not quite as fast as Samsung's two-year-old SSD 850 EVO; three-year warranty, not five

The Western Digital Blue 3D 1TB offers excellent performance at a good price point. The drive is within a few performance points of the 850 EVO, but it sells at a much lower price. You won't be disappointed in this choice.

Some TLC consistency issues; Some TLC consistency issues

The WD Blue 3D Nand SATA SSD (1TB) & SanDisk Ultra 3D SSD (1TB) provide some excellent value for all computer users, including decent speeds for TLC technology.

Compared to last year's WD Blue that used planar TLC NAND flash, the new WD Blue 3D NAND and SanDisk Ultra 3D perform much better on tests where the older drive was weakest. At lower queue depths where the bandwidth of the SATA link was not a bottleneck, the new SSDs delivered significantly better...
