Western Digital Blue M.2 SSD, SATA 6G - 250 GB [WDS250G1B0B]

The Western Digital Blue M.2 SSD at a glance (250 GB)

High-quality 15-nm TLC-NAND flash
88SS1074 Controller from Marvell
Strong performance with max. 540/500 MB / s read / write
97,000 / 79,000 IOPS Random Read / Write
Enormous storage space with 250 GB capacity
Compact M.2 format (2280)

The Western Digital Blue M.2 SSD is a particularly small yet powerful solid-state drive for an M.2 slot, which is addressed via the SATA-6G interface. The support for the modern, fast interface format is absolutely justified, because the version of the Digital Blue M.2 SSD offered here with 250 GB storage space is very powerful, as the sequential read and write rates reveal that at high 540 or 500 MB / S.

This is also due to the TLC-NAND flash and the 88SS1074 controller from Marvell. The excellent performance is impressive because of the low ultrabook or tablet size of the drive the more, the Western Digital Blue M.2 SSD is just 8 cm long and 2.2 cm wide. However, there must be a free M.2 SATA port in the device for use. Note that mainboards with Z97 chipset may not support M.2 SATA, but only M.2 PCIe. You should therefore ask for compatibility before purchasing from the manufacturer.
