Question Your opinions on the WD SN810 1TB NVMe SSD ?

[hasib22]

Have you ever heard of the Western Digital WD SN810 1TB NVMe SSD ?
I got a offer of it as 2nd hand but with 100% health.
But I cant find any reviews of it. How is it?

Source of the offer?

Source and how much are they asking for it? How long was it in operation? Can they provide a screenshot of the SMART stats for the drive? It seems to be an OEM drive, which would explain why there are no reviews other than a couple of mentions in forums (probably was not used by many OEMs due to price), released a couple of years ago using older flash tech, but the specs look decent (it even has DRAM). However the TBW endurance rating is quite low at only 400GB.

Is your google broken?

To be fair, those aren't really "reviews". They're just benchmarks (and only two sources) with no discussion by someone specifically looking at all aspects. TechPowerUp's database is useful to the right people, but it's mostly just bare specs that won't mean anything to anyone who doesn't understand them, and reading through all those documents and specs and coming to a conclusion isn't something possible for everyone. We know actual performance often falls far below marketed specs.

I'm usually the first person to just reply with a link to the Google search results when someone obviously didn't even try, but it seemed like it wouldn't have been of use to OP here.

Got it from facebook marketplace. The price is 6000 bdt

According to an online currency converter 6,000 bdt is $50 USD. Correct?

Buy a new 1 TB SSD with a warranty from a source where you can easily RMA the drive if necessary.

And find reviews for the drive and source beforehand.

Faster, more endurance, brand new, warrantied by WD, not terribly more expensive. The SN7100 doesn't have DRAM but that isn't a huge loss for most purposes. $50 for a used OEM drive from Facebook Marketplace is ridiculous. (Although I don't know anything about the normal prices for these things in Bangladesh compared to US, and obviously the Amazon links aren't any good there. Just for comparison.)
