WD Blue 3D NAND

The WD Blue 3D NAND might best represent the last hoorah of the SATA SSD before NVMetechnology kicks that interface into the long grass. It’s a big improvement over its predecessor and gives Corsair and Samsung’s mid-range products a run for their money. Excellent overall performance coupled with competitive pricing makes for a winning combination, or it does for that still want, or need SATA.
