Western digital launches blue sn500, its new mid-range ssd

Western Digital has set out to shake up the SSD market a bit with its new model, the Blue SN500. It is released in two versions, with a capacity of 250 GB one and the other with 500 GB of capacity. It allows us to achieve sequential read speeds of up to 1700 MB / s, while write speeds of up to 1, 450 MB / s. So they are good speeds, without being the fastest on the market.

Although the brand does not seek to launch the fastest. Because one of the key aspects of this new SSD is that it comes with spectacular prices, which will undoubtedly make it a very interesting option for many users.

In addition, it should be noted that these Western Digital SSDs triple the speed of some of its competitors in this segment, but with identical prices. Something that will certainly help make them an option that sells very well in the coming months. In the case of the 250 GB model, we can expect a price of 55 dollars (we do not yet know the price in euros). While the 500 GB will have a price of $ 78.

So they come with an affordable price for users. Although so far nothing has been said about its launch in Europe. Although it should take place shortly. Maybe this spring.

Surely in a couple of weeks we will have the prices for Spain of this new Western Digital SSD. Without a doubt, the brand has managed to bring something called to generate interest in the market, in addition to being difficult to compete against.
