Western Digital Black NVMe 1TB SSD is a Powerful Competitor

Western Digital Releases the Black NVMe SSD

With the furious competition of the solid state drive in the market, more and more memory companies would like to release the SSDs which have good performance. And the Western Digital, a very famous digital company around the world, also has launched a dark horse – Western Digital Black NVMe SSD.

And here, we will introduce some specifications of this Western Digital Black NVMe SSD in the following part.

First of all, this Western Digital Black NVMe SSD comes with three different capacities, which respectively are 250GB, 500GB, and 1TB. And they are provided a 5-year warranty. There is no doubt that the solid state drive can be a dark horse only when it has good performance. Then we will go to the part of the performance of the Western Digital Black NVMe SSD.

The interface of Western Digital Black SSD is PCIe Gen 3 and its form factor is M.2 2280. Those features are important elements of high speed. For the read and write performance, we will take about them respectively. For the 250GB Western Digital NVMe SSD, the sequential read and write speed can reach up to 3000MB/s and 1600MB/s. And the random read and write can reach up to 220,000 IOPS and 170,000 IOPS.

For the 500GB Western Digital Black NVMe SSD, its sequential read and write speed is up to 3400MB/s and 2500MB/s. Its random read and write are up to 410,000 IOPS and 330,000 IOPS. As to the 1TB Western Digital SSD, its sequential read and write speed can reach up to 3400MB/s and 2800MB/s. And its random read and write are up to 500,000 IOPS and 400,000 IOPS. Compared with other solid state drives, this Western Digital SSD has better read and write performance and even faster than Samsung 960 Evo SSD.

In addition, the Western Digital Black NVMe SSD is driven to keep up with even the most demanding workloads. Its innovative power management and thermal throttling consistently help prevent overheating so as to provide smooth and fast read and write performance.

The Western Digital Black NVMe SSD is compared with Patriot Scorch 512GB SSD. And the result shows that Western Digital Black SSD has better performance. It shows that the Western Digital SSD is around twice as fast to 2.5 times faster in the tests in the larger reads and writes, though inexplicably the Patriot Scorch is 40% faster in the 4KB reads, though for smaller files the drive barely beats out the Patriot Scorch.

So with the better performance of the Western Digital Black NVMe SSD, some of you would like to replace your previous hard drive with the WD SSD. Thus, a professional partition manager may be necessary since it can help you to migrate OS to the SSD and would not bring any damage to your original data. In addition, the operation methods are pretty easy with the partition magic.

Final Words

From this post, you can know that the Western Digital has launched the Black NVMe SSD. And it comes with three different capacities. Besides, this Western Digital Black NVMe SSD has better performance.
