How benchmarksutra rates SSDs: maker-stated speed, warranty and value per GB, with TBW shown only where stated for the exact capacity.
Quick Verdict
The benchmarksutra SSD Score rates 115 internal SSDs (model and capacity) from 40 model lines sold by MD Computers, Computech and Vedant. Every figure comes from the maker's own product page. We never use benchmark results from other sites, and we never fill a gap with a guess.
Researched, not hands-on tested. Scores use only the specifications on each maker's own product page (checked 13 November 2026) and prices at our partner stores (checked 12 November 2026). We did not run drive benchmarks. How the SSD Score works.
The three ratings
Speed. The maker's maximum sequential read for the model line, on a log scale (450 MB/s → 0, 16,000 MB/s → 100).
Warranty. The maker-stated term: 5 years = 100, 3 years = 55. If the maker page does not state it, the row is left out and the other weights are re-spread.
Value. Speed against price per GB. NVMe drives are compared on one trend line; SATA drives, which all run at roughly the same speed, are compared on price per GB alone.
Buyer profiles
Endurance (TBW)
Most makers publish TBW (terabytes written) for one capacity only, or as a single "up to" figure. We show TBW only where the maker states it for that exact capacity, and write "not stated" otherwise. We never scale one capacity's TBW to another, so TBW is shown but not scored.
PS5 list rule
The PS5 list follows Sony's published requirement: PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 NVMe, 250GB–8TB, 5,500 MB/s or faster sequential read recommended, with a cooling structure (Sony PlayStation support).
Price vs score
What the score does not measure
Sustained write speed after the cache fills, random performance and power use.
Controller and NAND type, unless the maker states them.
Real game-load or file-copy times.
What we left out, and why
Reason | Drives (model + capacity) |
|---|---|
Not scored: maker specs could not be confirmed. | 158 |
No maker product page to confirm specs. | 40 |
Enterprise/data-centre drive, outside this consumer series. | 19 |
External/portable SSD, outside this internal-SSD series. | 19 |
Renamed drives: SanDisk now sells the WD_BLACK SN8100 as the Optimus GX PRO 8100, and the WD Blue SN5100 as the Optimus 5100. We show both names.
