Would this include a WD Blue 3D (SATA) I bought back in 2017? Still on Win10 (for now).

HMB is only supported with NVMe SSDs, not SATA SSDs. So WD SATA SSDs were not affected by the HMB bug.

This model was never one affected, and firmware has been out for a year to fix the issue, which all current units would be shipping with.
This model doesn't even use hmb at all, it has on board cache so doesnt need to use the hosts.

user error i would say.

Amazon US no Australian warranty

That isn't how consumer law works.

it does on amazon if you order from any international suppler they will not provide an Australian warranty and good luck trying get the Australian government to pursue an company in another country

@kungfuman: Again, that is not how australian consumer law works. If you buy from Amazon, you have a warranty. Regardless of country of origin or grey import status, or if you buy from the amazon america, amazon uk, etc stores. That is how it works.
If support isn't aware of this, you inform them, they escalate, and they refund you. Charge back also exists.

@Ademos: try and get warrenty on amazon US or amazon Uk and tell them about australian consumer law see how far you get. "how it works" and what happens in reality are two different things. I'd like to see how far you get because many fail at this.

I'll have to check compatibility of my mo slots first. Then, this will double the cost of my pc if I buy 2 lol
Endurance (TBW): 600 TBW
How long can it last if I do some video editing every day?

8TB has 4800 TBW. So if you wrote the full 8TB per day, then warranty will last 600 days. To last the full 5yrs, then its 2.63TBW/day

And it has DRAM
I have 2x of this without heatsing run like a charm! One in Win11 minipc and one in a USB4 enclosure
You are right. Google AI gives me the wrong answer. 2.5TB/d is decent.
The picture of this looks more like Sn850p than Sn850x

Supercheap!

Cheaper than PS5 Pro ^_^
(Btw, PS5 can accept up to 8TB SSD, so you can put this on PS5/PS5 Pro)





WD SSDs can cause Windows 11 errors, particularly with the 24H2 update, due to a Host Memory Buffer (HMB) incompatibility
