Review: WD Blue SN570 SSD (1TB)

Conclusion

It was only a matter of time until WD updated the popular Blue series of consumer solid-state drives. Now featuring a more performant controller and latest-generation TLC NAND, Blue SN570 fits in better with other modern, entry-level SSDs.

WD keeps to the Blue's DRAM-less design in order to rein in costs with the 1TB review sample arriving at retail armed with a £90 price tag. We have no major qualms about overall performance or value, but remain unimpressed with the decision to keep maximum capacity to just 1TB.

Improving upon its 15-month-old predecessor in every meaningful way, the new WD Blue SN570 ought to be on the radar if you're contemplating a mainstream PC build in late 2021.
