If you want ultimate speeds, especially in respect of writing, or hardware encryption then look elsewhere. The WD Blue SN550 is more of a family people-carrier than a head-turning roadster, to use a vehicle analogy.That said, the benchmark numbers still...

The WD SN550 basically takes all of the incentive away from other DRAMless solution producing a top performing drive at a budget price!

The WD Blue SN550 is positioned as a significant upgrade over their previous SN500 SSD, and the performance is impressive for a DRAM-less drive. It would make an excellent upgrade over a SATA SSD, and the competitive pricing helps it stack up favorably against other low-cost NVMe options as well.
