WD Introduces Green SN350 Series of Budget NVMe SSDs

WD comes with budget NVMe SSDs of 240GB, 480GB and 960GB. It is the WD Green SN350 series and the model with the highest capacity has a suggested retail price of $100. It seems that the ssds are equipped with qlc nand memory.

On its website, WD does not specify the memory used, but the relatively short lifespan indicates the use of qlc-nand memory. The suggested retail prices of 44, 55 and 100 dollars also point to this. Euro prices have not yet been announced.

The WD Green SN350 SSDs are NVMe SSDs with the M.2-2280 form factor and a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface. The largest model achieves maximum read and write speeds of 2400MB/s and 1900MB/s, according to WD. With the 480GB and 240GB, the write speed is up to 1650MB/s and 900MB/s respectively.

In random reads and writes, the WD Green SN350 SSDs perform less according to the specifications than the higher-ranked WD Blue SN550 models. The warranty is three years with the Green SSDs, with the Blue variants it is five years.
