Hello

Such SSD is better? The MX500 or the WD Blue SA510 (WDS500G3B0A)

 

Couldn't find too much information on the new generation of the WD blue SA510

I would go with the MX500. It's one of the best SATA SSD's available, and also one of the most popular ones. I have it myself too and it's great.

They are about the same so get the one on sale.

 

I mainly use Crucial because I have ones(MX300) that I bought in 2016 that are still doing fine.

I have used both and they have been fine. Never had a complain for customers.
