If we had to choose any one SSD to fill our system, it would be the WD Black SN7100. This PCIe 4.0 SSD comes in up to 4TB of capacity. The 2TB version that we tested was the fastest overall in our benchmarks. Because the drive uses a host memory buffer design for cache, as opposed to onboard DRAM, it's competitively priced, making it an excellent price-to-performance value.
Tested: These are the best SSDs you can buy right nowOur current favorite SATA SSD is the Samsung 870 EVO. It's fast and affordable. However, if you want top capacity, check out the $1700 VectoTech 16TB V-MAX.
Tested: These are the best SSDs you can buy right nowPCWorld's top pick for a PCIe 4.0 SSD is the WD Black SN7100 in up to 4TB of capacity. The 2TB version that we tested was the second-fastest PCIe 4.0 SSD overall in our benchmarks, but is still available, while the ever-so-slightly faster Lexar Play 2280 doesn't seem to be.
The benchmarks don't lie! These are the best PCIe 4.0 SSDsThe best cheap SSD in our view is the WD Blue SN5000, followed closely by Kingston's NV3. Both of these PCIe 4.0 SSDs are fast, and very affordable. However, when it comes to PCIe 5.0, the PNY CS2150 is your bargain choice.
