Cons, No 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption, No heat dissipation hardware included
No 4TB option, Not suitable for PS5, No hardware encryption
The first important thing to understand about the SN770 is that it replaces the ageing SN750, a Gen 3 drive that peaked at reading speeds of 3,400MB/s and writes of 3,100MB/s.In comparison, the SN770 is a dramatically better proposition, even for those st...

Overall performance, 5-year warranty,
Couldn’t match the official maximum 4K random write figures in some of our testing,
It was at the end of 2020 when we last looked at a WD PCIe Gen4 drive, the Black SN850, but now we have the latest one to hand, the Black SN770.Aimed at gamers, the new drive uses a new in-house WD 4-channel controller combined with 112-layer BiCS5 flash...
The Western Digital Black SN770 SSD Review is good but it lacks that extra bit of performance that would make it a viable contender against high end Gen3's other SSD's which could be used in consoles. However, as an option of PC's it is one of the better...

After the introduction of the WD Black SN850 last year as their flagship drive and having the SN750 around still as their fast PCIe Gen 3 drive I was surprised with the introduction of the SN770. For one I assumed the 800 series naming would be for th...

Consistent performance across all file sizes, Hits around 5GB benchmark, 1TB hits the price/performance sweet spot, 5 year warranty, Included software is surprisingly good
An included heatsink would have been nice, Just slightly less than max rate in ATTO performance
Western Digital does it again – the SN770 represents a big leap forward for NVMe storage tech. Able to reliably and consistently hit the advertised read and write speeds across the entire file size spectrum, the only thing missing here is a heatsink. With...
Fantastic real-life performance, Competitive pricing, Large SLC cache, PCI-Express 4.0, Only minimal thermal throttling, Five-year warranty, Compact form factor

Moderately priced for a PCIe 4,0 drive, Matched its rated sequential read and write speeds in our testing, Strong performance in overall storage and some trace tests
No 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption, No heat dissipation hardware included
The WD Black SN770 is a nice-priced PCIe 4.0 NVMe internal SSD that aced many of our benchmarks, especially for program loading and file copy. Our only quibbles? Hardware-based encryption and a snap-on heat spreader would complete this package...
