Western Digital Starts Offering WD Blue 4TB-SSD

Western Digital Starts Offering WD Blue 4TB-SSD

Good news for consumers that would like a nice big 4TB SSD in the 2.5" form factor as Western Disgital now follows Samsung by offering one. It started listing at several shops for roughly 550 Euros.

The WD Blue 2.5" SATA-SSD based on 64-layer TLC NAND from Sandisk. Perf is what yoyu may expect from the SATA3/TLC combo at a sequential reading and writing of 560 and 530 MB/s respectively. 4K IOPS sit a 95000 IO/s and 82000 IO/s. The controller used is a Marvell 88SS1074 with four channels.

If we uphold that 550 euros then the pricing sits at just under 14 cents per gigabyte, which is slightly more expensive than the Samsung 860 QVO, however that one is QLC-NAND based. The WD-SSD take 600 TB written but we doubt that's the case (expect more). Western Digital offers a five-year warranty.

The price point seems quite high, for everyday media and games storage needs this drive targets(certainly not OS, is it?), one might buy a larger cheaper spinner drive and cache it with a small ssd such as with intel rst or primo cache software.

Not really as Samsung, Intel was only one sell 4tb drive and they where well over 1K not to long ago there always the 2tb model which way less even you got pair of them hope by end of year they be another 50% less, you could always go to Icydock and pick one there tray-less cages 2.5 that go all way up 16 bay but there expensive but very useful for small form factor case and that not counting concept products that they working on you check it out.
