About This Product
The SanDisk WD Blue SN5100 is a 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD utilizing PCIe 4.0 x4. While it uses the PCIe Gen 4 interface, its performance metrics are closer to high-end PCIe Gen 3 drives, making it a budget-friendly option for general use rather than demanding applications. It offers a solid upgrade over SATA SSDs but falls behind other PCIe Gen 4 drives in sequential and random read/write speeds.
Verdict
βGood for budget-conscious users needing a basic NVMe upgrade over SATA.β
