WD_BLACK SN850 1TB M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 NVMe Gaming SSD up to 7000 MB/s read speed

Product Information

Western Digital (or simply WD) is the world's largest manufacturer of storage solutions, mostly known for their wide range of hard disk offerings. But as far as I am concerned, when I soon go for a modern CPU and then also GPU, saving a few bucks on the SSD which then could be a bottleneck at times, such doesn't seem worth it. Also on the market is the novel ADATA XPG Gammix S70 SSD with newcomer Innogrit's high-end SSD controller, which we have in hand but have not yet tested with the latest firmware. The total dynamic SLC capacity spans roughly one-third of the available capacity (300GB on our 1TB sample) with a small and quick-to-recover static SLC cache (12GB on our 1TB sample) that's designed to provide the most performance and endurance. Enhance your gaming station with fully customizable RGB lighting controlled through the downloadable WD_BLACK Dashboard (Windows® only), designed to match your style.

Western Digital's client OEM SSD product line had already adopted the 96L TLC with the PC SN730, but their retail consumer Gen 3 drives didn't get a matching refresh. Acronis True Image for Western Digital backs up everything from operating systems and applications to settings and individual files, with support for both PC and Mac machines. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data.So what is special about the WD Black SN850X other than the technical tweaks that have squeezed extra performance out of this controller and NAND combination? We’ve partnered with Ontrack to provide protection for routine and extreme data loss scenarios such as drive failure, viruses, and software issues.

The WD Dashboard software made updating the firmware super easy, as opposed to the hour+ of struggle I suffered through trying to get the firmware on my Seagate FireCuda 520 updated with a mega-finicky command line utility and confusing documentation (oh -- and the firmware function in the SeaTools SSD GUI utility simply doesn't work at all). However, WD has made the most of its flash and can manage trade-offs by using a mature architecture. A notable performance improvement over the WD Black SN850 with the added bonus of fitting inside a PlayStation 5.I didn't know how much of a performance difference I should expect between the two drives, so the night I got the system I was experimenting a lot with launching the same game from both.
