[SOLVED] WD SSD Drive: PC SSD or SATA SSD 3D NAND

[dtjones369]

Good evening.
I was looking to add an SSD drive, as a boot-up drive, into my machine. An older machine, no M2 slot, but plenty of HDD bays and 6 SATA connections on the board. It is an old MSI B75MA-P45. The goal is to upgrade the board and processor soon, but not at the moment. It's a machine that doesn't get too much human interaction and used for storage or all the household media, about 4tb of data.

Looking at Amazon, I was wondering if there was a difference in the Western Digital blue SSD drives. I see a PC SSD and a 3D NAND Sata SSD. Does it matter? For my purposes, are they the same?

I can't find the PC SSD on Western Digital's site. All the PC SSD numbers take me to the NAND model. I'm thinking it is the update/latest version and will be fine.
Any thoughts or concerns?

Thank you.

The designation you're looking for is SATA III SSD.
WD Blue, Samsung 860 EVO, Crucial X500, 2.5" format.

From your pcpp link...that is the same drive. Just slightly different marketing text from the seller.
The same device.

Different generations of the same product line. 3D Nand is latest.
