Western Digital has just released its latest high-performance NVMe solid-state drive, the Black SN750. This new SSD is designed to deliver blistering fast speeds and rock-solid reliability, making it a must-have for gamers, content creators, and anyone who needs a serious storage upgrade.

First off, let’s talk specs. The Western Digital Black SN750 features the latest PCIe 3.0 x4 interface, which allows for sequential read and write speeds of up to 3500 MB/s and 3000 MB/s respectively. That’s significantly faster than most other NVMe SSDs on the market.

The drive also uses Western Digital’s proprietary TLC (Triple-Level Cell) NAND flash memory, which offers improved endurance and reliability compared to traditional MLC (Multi-Level Cell) or SLC (Single-Level Cell) NAND. The drive is also equipped with a custom-designed controller that’s optimized for low latency and high performance.

In terms of capacity, the Western Digital Black SN750 comes in three flavors: 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB. We’ll be focusing on the 1TB model, which retails for $599.

So how does it perform? Let’s take a look at some benchmarks:

• CrystalDiskMark sequential read speed: up to 3500 MB/s
• CrystalDiskMark sequential write speed: up to 3000 MB/s
• AS SSD Copy Benchmarks (1MB): read: 3306 MB/s, write: 2914 MB/s
• Anvil’s Storage Utilities Benchmark (100GB file transfer): read: 3382 MB/s, write: 2968 MB/s

As you can see, the Western Digital Black SN750 delivers incredibly fast speeds and excellent performance in a variety of workloads.

In terms of power consumption, the drive is relatively low-powered, with an average idle power draw of around 1.5W. This makes it suitable for use in laptops and other portable devices that require high-performance storage without sacrificing battery life.

Compared to other high-end NVMe SSDs like Samsung’s 970 EVO Plus and ADATA’s XPG SX8200, the Western Digital Black SN750 holds its own. Here are some benchmark comparisons:

• Sequential read speed: WD Black SN750 (3500 MB/s) vs. Samsung 970 EVO Plus (3200 MB/s)
• Sequential write speed: WD Black SN750 (3000 MB/s) vs. ADATA XPG SX8200 (2800 MB/s)

While it may not be the absolute fastest NVMe SSD on the market, the Western Digital Black SN750 offers an excellent balance of performance and value.
