My testing of the WD Blue SN5100 found it to be a worthy PCIe 4.0 successor
…2TB Blue SN5100 that I tested is very fast for a PCIe 4.0 host memory buffer SSD. Even when secondary cache does run out, write speeds waffle between a passable 250MBps…

What is the best NVMe SSD?
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 nowHow fast is the D1 SSD Plus?
Short answer: very. Given that I populated the Ugreen CM850 with the same, extremely fast Samsung 9100 Pro SSD, I wasn’t expecting the D1 SSD Plus to spank it in our real-world copies as it did. I ran those tests more than the usual number of times to verify the results. Lack of thermal throttling? Again, could be. The Adata SE920 comes pre-populated and is thrown into the mix to show that positive things can happen when you roll your own external storage with a very fast SSD. The synthetic benchmarks were exceptionally close between the TerraMaster and Ugreen, with the Adata very close behind

PCWorld'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.
