Review WD Blue SN580 2TB SSD Review: More of the Same

[Admin]

The WD Blue SN580 takes a winning formula and ratchets it up a notch, but it’s still a very similar product. It doesn’t offer anything new to the SSD landscape, but it could still be a solid budget drive.

For SN770 review, you mentioned "As for temperature, the drive idled around 52C but hit 80C after sustained writes".
Did you forget to mention this info for SN580 drive, or did I miss it?

If it is not mentioned, it needs to be because a drive can have 1TB/s reads and writes but it doesn't matter if it thermal throttles to 1GB/s immediately.

I'm looking to get an 2TB NVMe SSD for a laptop, but I want it to be as cool as possible when working with Word or browsing the web. 52C seems a lot for idle, and 80C is insane for a laptop. Probably not good for the battery.

Is HMB important? All dramless SSDs have 64MB HMB or lower but the SN580 has over 3x more (200MB HMB). Thanks.
