WD_BLACK SN770 2TB M.2 2280 Game Drive PCIe Gen4 NVMe up to 5150 MB/s

Product Information

A 1TB SSD arriving single-sided is not unusual, but that single NAND design does set it apart from other 1TBs on the market notably. Where possible (and where appropriate) please provide as much information about your requirements, as then I can arrange the best answer and solution to your needs. The Inner Circle is a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about the same things you are. Brands such as Seagate and Sabrent have introduced several different PCIe4 SSDs to their portfolios that individually towards performance, value and durability. Testing with CDM reveals Western Digital's sequential throughput specs for the 2TB model to be pretty much spot on, if not a bit on the conservative side.

Get into the match fast as you zoom past load times with blazing speeds of up to 5,150MB/s 1 (1TB and 2TB models). Indeed, given the 18 months between the release of these two SSDs, it is still pretty surprising that WD has stuck with the techie/PC Gamer designed aesthetic of the package. The retail kit for this SSD is a little thin on the ground in terms of contents (fairly standard with m. A single-sided 2280 PCB with a tiny SanDisk 4-channel controller upfront, some sort of coprocessor to the right of the controller, and a single flash package at the rear of the PCB.

Roughly 10%, but even so, the 2TB SN770, despite its inherent handicaps, can outperform SSD the likes of Samsung's 2TB 980 Pro. Crystal DiskMark's sequential speed tests provide a traditional measure of drive throughput, simulating best-case, straight-line transfers of large files. Get up to 20% more power efficiency at maximum speed over the previous generation 3 (1TB model) for an even better overall gaming experience on your portable rig. When using with the My Cloud NAS products, the software must be running from an operating system on the same local network. The SN770 offers the admirable WD Dashboard drive management software, but lacks the desirable 256-bit AES encryption of the Atom 50.

Available in capacities upto 2TB, the WD Black SN 770 SSD gives you tons of storage for your latest games with space left over for future updates and downloadable content. As tools are developed, they are added below (as well as embedded in many, many articles across the site). Its PCMark 10 overall score was better, though the Atom beat it in loading Windows and launching Adobe programs and games.drives offer much higher durability ratings—the Corsair Force Series MP600 and the Silicon Power US70 are rated at 1,800TBW for 1TB and 3,600TBW for 2TB.

There is also support for standard SSD management components such as Trim, SMART and secure erase capability via the Format NVM command.Now, a big part of that is that the SSD does not feature onboard memory (relying on using a portion of host system memory when in operation, a process known as Host Memory Buffer or HMB) so it needs to make sure the controller does not get overworked and spacing out the components becomes more important to maintain cooled efficiency.

The number of channels refers to the number of storage chips that this controller can access at once. SSD used in a PS5 will be a secondary drive primarily used for game storage, so peak speed is not the primary consideration. In short, we believe that this is the world's best way to test an SSDs gaming prowess and accurately compare it against competing SSDs.

Alongside the WD Black SN770 SSD itself, the only other item of note in the retail package is the warranty and first-time setup document. The 2TB WD Black SN770 doesn't offer any cost savings (on a per-gigabyte basis) over the 1TB model, also coming in at 13 cents per gig.
