How these two compare

Sequential throughput

TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z SATA 4TB is rated 560 MB/s read and 530 MB/s write; Western Digital WD Blue SA510 4TB, 560 MB/s read and 525 MB/s write. The SATA link tops out around 550 MB/s each way, and both work against that ceiling; the more telling differences between SATA drives are how each holds up under sustained load, whether it carries a DRAM cache, and how much writing it is rated to take.

NAND and warranty

NAND: TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z SATA 4TB uses TLC and Western Digital WD Blue SA510 4TB uses TLC. The tier is bits per cell — SLC, MLC, TLC and QLC from one to four — trading density against endurance and sustained-write speed: QLC is cheapest per gigabyte, TLC the mainstream balance, and the denser the cell the sooner sustained writes taper. On the cover: TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z SATA 4TB does not state one, Western Digital WD Blue SA510 4TB carries a 5-year warranty. The length is the maker's own vote of confidence, and on an SSD it tends to track the endurance rating — a longer warranty usually meaning more rated writes.

Which to buy

With a price missing for at least one side, there is no cost verdict to give. What separates two otherwise-similar drives is up in the sections above — sustained and random behaviour, whether there is a DRAM cache, the flash tier and the warranty — so weigh those against what your build needs.
