Western Digital Blue 3D NAND vs SanDisk SSD Plus Internal SSDs (2016)

The Western Digital Blue 3D NAND M.2 1TB is an example of a great Internal Hard Drive at its $80 budget.

In the case of the $34 SanDisk SSD PLUS 240GB, however, we weren't able to find enough data to come to any reliable conclusions. If you're considering buying a Internal Hard Drive in the $30 range, we encourage you to take a look at some other options.

The Western Digital Blue 3D NAND M.2 1TB was loved by reviewers at Wirecutter (NYTimes), a highly trusted source that performs reliable in-depth testing. It did great in its "The Best SSDs" roundup where it was named its "Also great", which, in itself, makes it a product worth considering.

As for our analysis of the SanDisk SSD PLUS 240GB - it's considered to be a great product by two reliable sources that do their own hands-on testing - it earned the "Best budget" award from Windows Central and "Ranked 1 out of 3" from MakeUseOf, which is no small feat.
