Western Digital is gunning for creative professionals with the launch of its new WD Blue SN5000 NVMe SSD.
Western Digital also posits the SN5000 as a drive for “AI-enabled applications.”
I’d argue that this is true of any fast NVMe drive with SLC caching.

Still, Western Digital isn’t wrong.
The SN5000 is a good option for modern creative workflows that involve large AI-generated files or local AI models.
Note that the SN5000 is one of many high-speed NVMe SSDs in Western Digital’s portfolio.
I think that most creatives would be perfectly happy with either the SN500 or its predecessor.
you could purchase the 4TBWD Blue SN5000 NVMe SSDtoday for $290.
