With the WD Black NVMe 2018, the storage brand is at the top of the ssd in one fell swoop. That is a commendable result, because there are plenty of other manufacturers who have taken much longer than two generations. In terms of performance, the new WD B...
Amazing performance, Good endurance and 5-year warranty, Black PCB to compliment the drive name and generally improve the look, Acronis True Image WD Edition bonus, High compatibility through standard M.2 2280 form factor,

High maximum speeds, Competitive pricing at highend
Inconsistent performance
With a dash of the best-performing 3D NAND available, the WD Black is a massive improvement on the company's previous M.2 SSD – but it's still not the best for working with masses of files at once...

Performance, WD controller, Five year warranty
The 4K performance was a little disappointing in some of the tests
WD's Black label has always been reserved for high performance disks and it has to be said that the original Black PCIe drive was disappointing. There were many that thought it should have actually been released as a Blue label product.Now WD has delivere...

Performance ranks among the best, Fastest sequential write speed we've recorded, Designed for longevity
Disappointing random write speeds
The WD Black NVMe SSD is an incredible step up from the company's previous PCIe drive, delivering a massive increase to read and write speeds. Thanks to the latter being the highest we've ever recorded, it manages to step slightly out from the shadow of t...
Super-fast performance, Five-year warranty, Big-name support
Endurance not amazing, Basic info app
A dearth of high-performance third-party controllers has lead to the big storage companies looking inward and design their own. This is why, after years in development, WD has also come to the high-end PCIe NVMe party with its own controller and, in conju...

PCI-Express SSDs are still quite expensive, but they also perform significantly better than SATA600 SSDs. A few years ago the additional price you paid for a high-end SSD barely gave you better performance due to the SATA600-bottleneck, but now the differ...

First WD PCIe NVMe drive, 5-year warranty, Price
2D Planer NAND, Overall performance is not a strong as you might expect from a Black labelled drive, Kitguru says: While it might not deliver cutting edge performance, it is good to see WD finally have a drive that gives them a seat at the top tier of SSD
WD's Black range used to be all about cutting edge performance, but sadly the new drive doesn't hold up the family tradition. While it is correct to pronounce the Black PCIe drive as the fastest Black drive yet, it struggles against some of its more matur...
WD pairs the high-performance NVMe protocol with underwhelming planar 15nm TLC NAND and hopes you don't look beyond the go-fast stickers. The Black is WD's third recent consumer SSD, but none of them have been competitive at release. We can only hope...
Fastest SSD we ever reviewed, No thermal throttling, Reasonable pricing, Good sequential write performance, 5-year warranty, Compact form factor
Rated "up to" write speeds don't reflect reality, Expensive compared to some competing drives, SLC cache quite small
The WD Black NVMe SSD 2018 is currently listed online for $105. Fastest SSD we ever reviewed No thermal throttling Reasonable pricing Good sequential write performance 5-year warranty Compact form factor Rated "up to" write speeds don't reflect reality Ex...
