    $157.95 at MWave is their normal every day price just saying.

  • The TBW is quite low for its 2TB size even relative to other offerings in this price tier

  • I'm looking at upgrading the storage on my PC (a sff desktop, ex it Dept that is mainly used for desktop bits and bobs and some light gaming - fortnite, Minecraft etc). Currently have a 1tb HDD and a 128gb SSD. Was thinking about switching the 128 to this and only using the HDD for backup related stuff. Any huge speed benefit/game performer benefit having a game installed on this vs the current drives? I'm assuming it will be a lot quieter, cheaper to run and faster to transfer, but unsure if there is a noticeable gaming benefit,.or better spending the money on better/more ram and/or upgraded GPU…..

    • yes just do it. worth it and I paid $150 for 500GB gen3 one of these WD Blues, a few years ago, then $150 for a 1TB one, now you can get 2TB your load times in the OS and games will be so much faster. do it

    If you compare the WD SN580 vs a far higher performing SP XS70, it seems like you'll only really notice significant differences after its cache fills and it drops to 550MB/s. From the article, it seems like it'll handle 4GB/s for 85s (implies 330gb) before it drops in performance I think?

    SP XS70 1TB is $135 on Amazon, vs this being $155 for 2TB. I'm making the assumption that as SSDs fill up, they perform worse.. thus opting for the 2TB will give me more chance of not having crap speeds once I install 3 AAA games.

    • That's dynamic SLC cache, when you fill up the ~330g cache in one go (in everyday use case it's pretty rare), the controller moves the content in the cache to slower TLC storage (It happens behind the scene and will take a while), then after a while you get the SLC cache back
