Well written article about. SSD’s at https://nascompares.co​m …ck-green-gold-difference/. Some general content, some specific to WD.

The WD shopping options, like black, red, green, gold, blue, etc. read like the Johnnie Walker Scotch list at a decent bar!

As a counterpoint, here's an interesting article on WD's use of SMR(Shingled Magnetic Recording)

As someone who has shucked a number of WD drives for my 24 bay NAS I was perturbed about the recent SMR blow-up on the interwebs. I don't do raid but still don't want any SMR drives in my setup so I will definitely pay attention going forward when I need to add a new drive to the array.

Crazy prices, crazy read/write speeds, WD Black SN750 NVMe 500GB for $72. https://www.pcworld.co​m …-after-a-28-discount.html
