Western Digital admits it crippled write speeds with flash memory change
Western Digital has conceded that it traded the NAND streak memory inside one of its most famous strong state drives (SSDs), which supposedly punished execution by up to half.
The WD Blue SN550 is one of Western Digital's smash hit M.2 NVMe SSD models, yet Tom's Hardware affirmed reports of an unannounced NAND substitution harming the drive's compose speed, definitely diminishing its exhibition.
As per its examination, the new mediocre NAND can't stay up with the regulator's composing demands, bringing about execution dropping from 610 MBps to 390 MBps in a 100 GB document duplicate test, when the 12GB SLC store is depleted.
Here is our assortment of the best strong state drives (SSDs) Check our gathering of the best distributed storage administrations We've fabricated a rundown of the best workstations available While Tom's Hardware takes note of that the change shouldn't affect the normal client, who won't ever have the option to move sufficient information to debilitate the SSD's SLC store, the change will affect clients who move huge records. Reacting to the article, Western Digital gave an assertion conceding that it did in fact trade out the NAND on the SSD.
"In June 2021, we supplanted the NAND in the WD Blue SN550 NVMe SSD and refreshed the firmware," peruses the assertion. As per the organization, it noticed the change by refreshing the SSD's item sheet. In any case, going ahead the organization has guaranteed that any inner; part change in a current item, particularly one that effects in recently distributed detail, will be better conveyed by changing the item's model number.
While the organization didn't uncover the explanation for trading the drive's NAND streak with an inadequately performing elective, Tom's Hardware proposes it very well may be a consequence of the continuous semiconductor lack influencing Western Digital's inventory network.
