WD Black SN770 or Crucial P5 Plus 1TB Which is better?

Hello friends, between these 2 ssd disks, which one is better and faster?

Which one will be more reliable and durable?

I don't work editing videos,I don't play video games, I'm a computer programmer.

Which one is better for my work as a programmer?

Which one opens faster any program like Ms Office, etc?

Which is faster when copying large files of many GB, for example 100 GB or more?

Between an SSD like the Samsung 870 Evo and any other sata ssd, the Crucial P5 plus and the Wd Black Sn770, am I going to notice a big difference in my work in programs like Office 2021 and programming?

My motherboard is only Pci 3.0, I know I'm not going to take advantage of the Pci4.0 but I want a fast, reliable and durable drive. According to many reviews on the internet, Wd Black is faster in almost everything.

In the future it is possible that I update the motherboard to take advantage of Pci 4.0.

In normal computing tasks and programming, is the difference in performance and speed noticeable from pci3.0 to pci4.0 or not?


Can you recommend me a better disc than these two but that is not very expensive?

Thanks for your answers friends, I write from Colombia.

I don't think maximum speed is the only thing you need,but sustainability of that or similar speed.
Some drives have much High declared speed than others,yet they crumble under extreme pressure to SATA3 speeds or in most extreme cases to HDD speeds.

Tomshardware review both I believe.

A friend of mine that is streamer,content creator and programmer for several years was using Samsung 970 Evo Plus and upgraded to 980 Pro because of ability to sustain high speeds under extreme pressure.
He knew there are those that are declared faster, perhaps some are even better at sustaining very high speeds for a prolongued periods of time and extensive amount of data,however it is difficult to go against Samsung's reliability reputation where reliability is most necessary.
They are a bit more expensive, but you should strongly consider Samsung 980Pro.
2TB version is 120$ or less.

WD Black SN770 SSD Review: A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing (Updated)

Stellar performance, especially for gamers.

Above is a comparison of both in the 2 TB variant.....

Reliability and durability is pretty much anyone's guess. You can have good or bad luck.

Not sure how much your Gen 3.0 motherboard ports might matter.

The WD is dramless, but WD has tuned their controller very well as can be seen at the above link.
