Our Verdict

The WD Blue SN5000 4TB is the value way to get 4TB on one M.2 drive. It is a PCIe 4.0 drive rated up to 5,500 MB/s, slower on paper than flagship drives at around 7,000 MB/s, but in everyday use, game loading and file copies the difference is hard to notice. Where it wins is cost per terabyte: it is among the cheapest 4TB NVMe drives we track, which makes it a sensible choice for a large game library or a laptop with a single M.2 slot. It has a 5-year warranty and nearly 3,000 ratings at 4.6 stars. It has no heatsink, and it is not the drive for sustained heavy writing such as long 8K exports. Choose it for maximum capacity per dollar; pick a WD Black or Samsung 990 Pro if you want top speed.
