Under the hood is SanDisk’s third-generation 3D NAND flash memory, which uses a 64-layer charge trap flash technology that it shares with Toshiba. As a mainstream drive, it’s configured to run in a TLC mode, with each die having a capacity of 256GB. It us...

The advantages of solid state storage needs no further expounding. Solid state drives (SSDs) are faster, less vulnerable to shock and vibration and are more power efficient. However they are quite costly, especially when compared against the relatively ch...

Bottom line Is the WD Blue 3D NAND SSD 1TB a good buy? At RM1279, it already ticked our very important value-for-money checkbox. The fact that it comes with Acronis True Image is definitely a bonus. Performance is great too, despite still being unable to properly det...

1TB Drive from WD, you guys do know that WD owns SanDisk right?There's little to no detail on what NAND type used, even on the official product page so we'll just leave it at that.As always I test the drives based on the claims, and the WD Blue SSD is sai...
Bottom line The WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD 1TB retails at RM 1,489.00 – so expensive? Not quite, you see even 256GB SSDs retail at around RM 400 these days so to have around 4 times of space without costing 4 times as much is excellent, after all drives often cost less...

SanDisk and manufacturing partner Toshiba seem late to the 3D party. Their joint venture leveraged planar NAND longer than many industry rivals while simultaneously ramping up 3D NAND production for other markets. 3D BiCS NAND has shipped for at least a y...
Bottom line The SanDisk Ultra 3D is identical to the Blue 3D, but you may find it costs a little more. Shop for both, but choose the lower price. The Ultra 3D delivers comparable performance to the 850 EVO 1TB, but it costs much less. It's a very good drive, but once...

Bottom line The original WD Blue SSD drive it would be fair to say, didn't cause much of a stir apart from the acknowledgement that WD had entered the highly competitive SSD market. However the new WD Blue SSD on the block, the Blue 3D NAND, will really stir things u...
