Evo 860 M2 Vs Wd Blue 3d 1tb

Just MoD

I will be using my pc for 2d/3d animation, Programming, Aftereffects, blender, Video editing, Photoshop and some gaming. Gaming is last priority.

SSD will be the os drive.

I will use WD Blue 1tb 7200rpm HDD for storage.

My question is what's the difference between the both??

Performance is similar.
5 year warranty on both.

Toss up, or whichever is less expensive.

I'd toss Crucial's MX500 into the consideration list as well...currently at about $64 or so in 500 GB variations...

(A 1 TB MX500 model I just installed scored 563 MB/sec reads on CrystalDiskMark...the highest I've seen for a SATA interface)

If your mainboard has an NVME M.2 slot available, you'd certainly want an Intel 660P instead...just as inexpensive as SATA variants, but, 3x faster...

So you are telling that, the only difference which I will witness is write speeds. The build quality is great right? Is the WD SSD durable?

Yes, all three are from reputable brands with good reviews and similar manufacturer warranties. From what I usually see the pricing is usually Samsung 860 evo > Crucial MX500 > WD blue (might vary depending on where you live and what retailer you buy from), and performance is pretty similar. Just get what is cheapest and it should be fine.

It should be fine. It has a small emulated SLC buffer but can still write at ~400MB/s once its exhausted that.
The 860Evo & MX500 uses a variable SLC buffer size based on the free space the drive has left.
I know the 860 min/max size is 6gb/42GB . I'm not sure on the MX500.

Just in case anyone else will come by months/years later looking for TBW info (like me):
Those TBW ratings in post #7 above are incorrect.

For 500 GB models, the correct TBW ratings are:

WD Blue: 200
Crucial MX500: 180
Samsung 860 EVO: 300

For 1TB (1000 GB) models, the correct TBW ratings are:

WD Blue: 400
Crucial MX500: 360
Samsung 860 EVO: 600

Thanks for catching that. I must have been reading values for larger drives.
Edited my post above.

Thanks for the discussion above!

Purchased the 500GB 860 EVO, the price was about $14 higher ($67.95 shipped, yet my Amazon rewards dollars earned as a Prime member with their card (5%) was nearly $18, so the cost ($67.95 shipped, will arrive tomorrow) was less than WD Blue, of which was considering as well. Have several Samsung SSD's (plus 5-6 of their HDD's before Seagate took over the brand), all except one has ran perfect.

The one which gave trouble with read speeds, a 250GB Samsung 840 EVO, I run their tool on it once monthly, or when I notice slowness. Although the free Disk Fresh tool ran with Read Only option checked gives better results, takes longer. Oddly, the 120GB of the same model runs perfectly fine. Back then, 500GB SDD's were expensive & somehow managed to clone the 1TB HDD installed in XPS 8700 when new to that 120GB model, even recovery partition & left 10GB for over provision. A week or so later, Dell sent me at no cost a reinstall DVD, this helped greatly. Back then, a 120GB 840 EVO SSD cost more than a 500GB 860 EVO of today, a lot more, I believe $119 on Newegg promo.

Didn't really want another 2.5" SSD, but the laptop doesn't have a NVMe option, otherwise wouldn't had to purchase anything, as I have a couple spares. As far as 'wearing out' goes, my first SSD, purchased in 2012, the 128GB Crucial m4, still has 98% lifespan left, and 2nd a few months later, a 180GB Intel 330, amazingly shows 100% by their Intel SSD tool. So these drives aren't fragile anymore by a longshot! Hopefully the trend will continue.

Also didn't want to be stuck with another DRAM-less SSD by Crucial which I assumed to be on promo. Although the Crucial BX300 hasn't given me any issues & is OK in a rarely used SATA-2 notebook, never occurred to me that Crucial, one of the leading manufacturers of RAM, would sell a SSD w/out physical DRAM. In fact, up to that point, had never heard of such, so sure wanted to avoid it this time & also no QLC. I expect MLC to go the same route as SLC & TLC to be on most premium drives, QLC for budget. Speaking of which, when the 840 EVO was purchased, TLC wasn't favored by many, so QLC has a year or longer to go before widely adopted. Hopefully Samsung will keep MLC in their Pro series 2.5" & NVMe lineup, if not, customers won't pay the markup.

Again, thanks, this article guided me on making the right decision!
