[Canada Computers] WD Blue SN500 NVMe M.2 500 GB $89.99

I did a lot of research this is the best bang-for-your-buck entry level SSD, it doesn't have issues with continuous heavy read/write as other DRAM-less designs.

Reviews:

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/wd ... ,6080.html

The reviews are with the 250GB version, the posted is 500GB endurance is 2x and performance is faster across the board by about 10-15%.

I find it hard to justify going more $$ for top tier SSD's especially for most of our use-cases.

At $99 ($10 more) the Silicon Power P34A80 512GB NVMe is a much better value as its speed is in the next tier class. It's not dram-less like the SN500 and has a x4 instead of x2 design and thus has far higher sustained and random speeds making it an ideal budget drive.

You can buy the 1TB Intel 660P for $135, with far superior performance.

Double the capacity, twice the 4K random read/write responsiveness, only $45 more.
