I shouted out this SSD on your live stream during prime day and you were confused because it was listed more expensive than the sn850x. Glad you got around to reviewing it!
It's a QLC drive, so I'm not surprised the endurance is so low. I get that it makes it an affordable drive, but people are going to buy these and potentially use them in high write scenarios. That's not going to go well for those people.
I've found out that the sequential read and write speeds measured by Crystal Diskmark are never really seen in real life use. I frequently back up my entire system drive to another internal SSD, so I'm transferring a file size of around 400 GB. The file transfer usually starts out really fast, maybe 1.5 GB/sec but rapidly slows down to under 1 GB/s. So the difference between this SSD and a higher-end SSD like the Samsung 990 Pro is actually a lot less than you might think. So I agree that this is an excellent value.
Here's a tip, start multiple transfers in you pc between the nvme, so split the 400gb into 4x100gb and you'll see its gonna go faster than what you said ;)
At Amazon Canada the Blue 5000 is only $10 less than the Black 850X, so it is over priced. The 850X has 2x the TBW 2400 vs 1200 and DRAM plus 50% higher rated speed 7300 vs 5500.
I use the Crucial T500 SSDs in my systems and they do great. I just never see them in the comparisons which is disappointing but I already have them. I would just like to know how they stack up against these other drives. Thanks for another great vid Lauri.
It would be great if he would test the T500. It's really one of the best Gen4 drives out there. Tech Testers has tested the T500 and have a pretty decent review of it.
Very informative - thanks. What would be a good SSD for processing photos 50mB size each and about 50Gb per match - storing and culling on the drive in PhotoMechanic software, then editing in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop? Would this SSD work on an Intel iMac 27"?
I have an old m2 256gb samsung and a 990pro. It makers no difference when running them, i can`t feel any improvement allthough the 990 is almost 3 times as fast on paper.
How do you think it will be OK to use such SSD in older server motherboards like Supermicro H11SSL-i in PCIe expansion cards (bifurcation), it has only PCIe gen3. Or are there better options? Gen3 nvme is harder to find these days than Gen4.
WD SN550 and SN570 also had 900TB for 2TB and 1200TB for 4TB version... so its standard for Western Digital 😀 Regards from Central Europe from my channel Brothers 😀
All very good but I am surprised that you do not have the Crucial T500 as a comparison...???? Oh, and the WD Black SN850X is cheaper and the T500 only a fiver more! (Referring to 1TB Drives.).
Its just a way for them to sell the cheaper TLC versus QLC. In most drives this fast the average user will probably notice no difference in tested speeds. I have one that runs over 5000 read speeds and another just under 3000. I cant tell a difference.

QLC and lack of DRAM = no thanks
It would be great if you could add g3 g4 g5 to the charts to represent what generation the drive is
WD is my favorite SSD's

I would not buy QLC drive.
"Maybe its really 2400, but rated lower."
Should have tested the 2TB drive so that it can be properly compared with the older SN770.
Id take the SN770 over the SN5000 any day.
Please add the crucial T500 to your test list.

@@theTechNotice Thanks, I'll have to try that.
Thank you my friend.
Samsung 990 evo 2TB on sale at Amazon now for $130. That’s a deal.

Great review! I was wondering if the Crucial T500 and SK Hynix Platinum P41 can shake the top Gen 4 standings.🤔
so good. how are the temps?
good review, but how does that compare to the Crucial P3 4TB gen4 which is even cheaper ?

Weirdly SN5000 and SN850 seem to be equally priced on Amazon?!
only 9 quid difference for the 4TBs and 3.5 quid for the 2TBs on UK amazon

i have same Crucial T500 2TB. would love to see benchmarks.
@@TheGameBench they are the best gen 4 drives
funny enough where i live this SSD costs more then the SN850x 4TB

When will be a review of new Crucial T500 4Tb? And will be nice to see a comparasion with 990 pro, 850x, 530, kc300, renegate

Is there a specific test you can run to compare how they are with DaVinci Resolve or Premiere Pro?

my 1tb sn570 health drops to 99% after 15tb of data write so anyway ssds outlast tbw spec and eventually die for other reason than that

Since the SN-5000 is dram-less I’m gonna pass, also I’m gonna save up for the 850X 8TB
there is new Team Group T-FORCE GE PRO M.2 2280 2TB PCIe Gen 5.0x4 with NVMe 2.0 i dont see it on list i hope i see review on it thanks

Hello from greece....i love your papaya mcl36 on top of the pc....big mclaren fan....love your videos....
Lando or Oscar?

They couldnt call it 4000?
QLC for the high end, wut? Faster sure but not as endurable as TLC.
Just as I got the sn850x
You can't go wrong with that model.
Too bad this is probably too slow for the PS5. It requires 7000MB/s or close. 6500MB/s is accepted too.
Wearing a blue t-shirt whilst reviewing the new WD Blue NVMe. Your attention to detail is outstanding, Lauri. 👍🏻👏🏻
Takes one to notice!
Avoid 4TB because it is QLC ?
2TB wad TLC drive
Color grading SUCKS. tone the tubefluencer reds down bro
Pretty slow for these days....
