About This Product
The SanDisk WD Blue SN5100 is a 500GB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD utilizing a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface. While it uses the PCIe 4.0 interface, its performance metrics are closer to high-end PCIe 3.0 drives, offering sequential read/write speeds suitable for general computing and light content creation. It is a cost-effective option for users seeking an NVMe upgrade over SATA, but it does not fully leverage the bandwidth capabilities of PCIe 4.0.
Verdict
“A budget-friendly NVMe SSD for general use, not for high-performance PCIe 4.0 demands.”
