Does this WD Blue 500 GB SSD Hard Drive use 3D Nand technology? I notice the one you sell just says 500 GB SATA on the label where other places selling the WD Blue 500 GB SSD it says 3D Nand on the label and they seem to have the same model number. null

Wrong question. What you should be worried about is the drive tight, whether it’s MLC TLCor QLC. Typically, most SS D’s are TLC. The MLCs are too expensive, and the QLCs are junk. MLC = multi level cell, TLC = triple level cell, and QLC equals quadruple level cell. Google it. The price/performance goes down as more and more cells are added to the SSD. The most expensive one, which I don’t believe they manufacture anymore, is the SLC, or single level cell.

I believe this is an oversight by Bestbuy. I have purchased these as well as many of my customers and they have always been 3D NAND.
