Inspire creativity with a one-month membership to Adobe Creative Cloud offering access to some of the world’s best creative apps and services such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom, Premiere Pro and InDesign. 4 Because the data is moved around frequently, some SSDs use a smidge of DRAM—which is much faster to access and read than NAND flash—to "map out" the data, and provide a reference point for the drive so it knows where everything is. A Western Digital Blue SATA SSD drive uses technology not only for higher capacities (up to 4TB in the 2.5" 7mm form factor 1) than the previous generation WD Blue SSDs, but also to help reduce cell-to-cell interference for enhanced reliability.

In a traditional SSD with DRAM, the data that you're keeping is stored on the NAND flash chips that sit on the drive's printed circuit board (PCB). The data isn't static, though, and is constantly being moved around by the drive to ensure that no cells are being taxed much more than others and therefore wear down unevenly. This is a process called "wear leveling." Here the drive is strong in 4K random write speeds, and competitive in random read. AS-SSD Copy Tests

An Evolution of the Blue

Unlike those tests, which copy a file from another drive onto the testing drive and record the raw writing throughput to the drive (or reading capacity off of it to another drive), PCMark 10 is expressing the average bandwidth speed of a transfer when the file is on the same drive. If you're regularly moving files around on your drive from one folder to another, this test is a handy relative throughput measure. As used for storage capacity, 1GB = 1 billion bytes and 1TB = one trillion bytes. Actual user capacity may be less, depending on operating environment. We value your content. That’s why the WD Blue reliability features help protect your content so you can stress less about losing your brilliant work. However, it should be noted, that these two tests don't tell the whole story of how a drive will perform for all creative applications. For example, cinema rendering programs like Cinema 4D may need to load dozens of different types of files at once, rather than just one large file like you might have encased in a Photoshop project or a movie that's being edited in Premiere.

In contrast, the utility's 4K (or "random read/write") tests simulate typical processes involved in program/game launching... As I alluded to in the introduction, the WD Blue SN550, like many other cheap SSDs, is a DRAM-less drive. For starters, let's define what DRAM is in an SSD context and what it's used for. Finally come the copy tests. While at first these numbers might look low compared to the straight sequential-throughput numbers achieved in benchmarks like Crystal DiskMark 6.0 and AS-SSD, that's due to the way this score is calculated. Habe mich dann für die 1TB entschieden obwohl diese keinen DRAM-Cache hat sondern es mit HMB (Host Memory Buffer) versucht zu kompensieren. Quería renovar mi PC con elementos más eficientes que los discos duros HDD de toda ka vida, así que mirando posibilidades, una de ellas era este tipo de memoria. No poseo conexión Nvme, pero a través de un adaptador pude probar a conectarla a un puerto PCI express (en mi caso tenía libre un PCIe x4)… y vaya diferencia…! Si con un disco duro Sata, ya rondaba los 500 MBs en velocidad máxima de lectura y escritura, con esta solución llegué a la nada desdeñable velocidad de 1500 MBs en lectura y 1400 MBs en escritura.

When It's Good to Be Kinda Blue

As used for storage capacity, one terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending on operating environment. Depending on the complexity of your work and the number of elements in a scene, your software may have to load 3D models, sound files, physics elements, and more. The overall PCMark 10 score of a drive will tell a better story for how a drive built to handle these types of programs will do than these numbers alone. But they're nonetheless interesting fodder for folks who live and breathe these Adobe apps. As used for storage capacity, 1GB=1,000,000,000 bytes and 1TB=1,000,000,000,000 bytes. Actual user capacity may be less depending on operating environment.

Ich war völlig überrascht wie schnell diese SSD ist, zu keiner Zeit habe ich den DRAM-Cache vermisst, HMB macht einen sehr guten Job.

The Western Digital Dashboard includes tools for analysis of the disk (including the disk model, capacity, firmware version, and SMART attributes) and firmware updates. The ultra-compact M.2 2280 WD Blue SATA SSD Drive goes through extensive compatibility and reliability testing to ensure it meets the high standards of the WD brand. Beim spielen in meinen Rechner ist mir letztens aufgefallen das meine Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus eine Temperatur über 65 Grad hat, trotz SSD-Kühler. While the sequential results of the WD Blue SN550 may not look tip-top on the surface, it seems WD was more concerned with real-world performance in the development of this drive, rather than just peak scores in spec sheets.
