Tells the tale of WD Blue SN550 having downgraded components and poorer performance without any warning to purchasers.

Amazon's choice.
Now pondering if this is still OK for my older specification MoBo (see
sig).

Having read the MoBo spec it claims up to 8Gb/sec.
"PCIe Gen2 x4 22110 M.2 Connector with up to 20Gb/s Data Transfer (PCIe
NVMe & SATA SSD support)"
I assume that this equates to 1 GB/sec (ignoring any protocol overheads
- I used to size data connections as 10 bit to allow for "stuff").
So a read speed of 2400 MB (2.4 GB) a second from the SSD looks not to
be a limit.
I am however now confused, because it says
"Data Transfer Rate 8 Gb per second"
(Or 1 GB/s)
"Read Speed 2400 MB per second"
(Or 2.4 GB/sec)
So am I correct in assuming that the write speed is 1GB/sec and read
speed is 2.4GB/sec?
They are all bastards for using mixed units, of course.
Perhaps defer any but decision until I can read my posts back without
getting confused. :-(
