Western Digital unveils Black 3D NVMe M2 SSD

Western Digital today introduced the new Black 3D NVMe SSD. These units offer Sequential read (up to 3,400 MB/s for 1TB and 500GB model) and write performance up to 2,800 MB/s for the 1TB model.

The drive accelerates data for PC applications to enable users to quickly, access, engage and capture today’s high-resolution video, audio and gaming content. With growing demand for rich content, PCs must have the capability to run intensive applications and enable the 4K/Ultra HD graphics and video content experiences. To move this immense amount of data quickly and seamlessly, Western Digital developed a new breed of SSDs to help remove the traditional storage bottleneck. This M.2 drive features a new NVMe architecture and controller, which optimally integrates with Western Digital 3D NAND. Western Digital’s new vertically integrated SSD platform was engineered from the ground up, specifically architected to help maximize performance for NVMe SSDs, with advanced power management, durability and endurance for the growing range of applications benefiting from NVMe technology. The M.2 Western Digital Black 3D NVMe SSD sports:

  • A new vertically integrated SSD platform engineered from the ground up to help maximize performance for NVMe SSDs (the new NVMe architecture and controller is integrated with Western Digital 3D NAND)
  • Sequential read (up to 3,400 MB/s for 1TB and 500GB model) and write performance (up to 2,800MB/s for 1TB model)
  • Up to 500,000 random-read IOPs (for 1TB model)
  • Up to 1TB capacity
  • Five-year warranty 
 
 

“Today’s gaming applications require increasing capability from their PCs, and this will only continue to advance. With our new architecture and controller, the Western Digital Black SSD integrates our 3D NAND technology with the NVMe interface to enable new levels of performance. Whether it’s a new gaming rig or a video-editing workstation, our innovative NVMe drives will power many existing and future environments that enable data to thrive,” said, Mark Grace, senior vice president, Devices Business Unit, Western Digital.

Western Digital Black 3D NVMe SSD– Built to Boost Gaming Systems

With exceptional sequential read (up to 3,400 MB/s for 1TB and 500GB model) and write performance (up to 2,800 MB/s for 1TB model) combined with up to 1TB capacities, the new drive is ideal for enhancing user experiences in gaming environments that benefit from acceleration of intensive fast data. Additionally, the drives feature up to 500,000 random-read IOPs (for 1TB model) to deliver extreme throughput, which is ideal for multi-threaded applications and data-intensive multitasking environments. The drive offers a five-year limited warranty with up to 600TBW endurance (for 1TB model). The Western Digital Black 3D NVMe SSD is available in the U.S. in capacities of 250GB ($119.99 USD), 500GB ($229.99 USD) and 1TB ($449.99 USD). The new drives will be available by late April 2018 in select Western Digital retailers, e-tailers, resellers, system integrators and distributors globally.

Hey Hilbert,
For a drive with upto 3400MBps, I think the write performance may have a typo at 28001MBps.

Please confirm.

That's some serious write speeds. I got a 960 EVO 500GB recently to replace my 256GB 950 PRO but I wouldn't mind having that tbh.

Especially with that nice 5yr warranty also vs the 960 EVO's 3yr one.

$50 more than I paid for my 1TB Intel 600p but much better write speeds. Not bad.
