The WD Black NVMe suffered an asthmatic performance in IOMeter, but its RoboBench performance was phenomenal. Western Digital had its sights set on the 970 EVO, and we expect that the Black's overall performance will fall fairly close to its rival. We di...

Western Digital has clearly put a lot of time and effort into their new WD Black NVMe SSD. Instead of using an off the shelf solution from Marvell or Silicon Motion, the company engineered their new SSD platform from the ground up. Everything from the WD...

Strong Writes, Good Endurance, Competitive Pricing, 5 Year Warranty
Middling Reads, Some Performance Inconsistencies
WD Black NVMe SSD - Find Them At AmazonThe WD Black NVMe SSD hits a number of high notes. Sequential transfers are strong, especially in terms of writes, and latency and endurance are good. The drives also carry a healthy 5-year warranty. We saw some inco...
WD has expanded its SSD family with the addition of its Black NVMe SSD and the SanDisk Extreme Pro. This M.2, NVMe drive has quoted speeds up to 3.4GB/s sequential read and up to 2.8GB/s write and comes in 250GB, 500GB, and 1TB capacities. The drive is WD...
We knew from tests last year of Western Digital's SATA drives and the Toshiba XG5 that the SanDisk/Toshiba 64-layer 3D TLC was a huge improvement over their planar NAND, and possibly was even the fastest and most power efficient TLC NAND yet. It is now cl...

WD's new in-house NVMe controller is a big win, but cheaper emerging products leave the Black 3D NVMe SSD with poor pricing at launch. It's like seeing an iceberg on the horizon. Hopefully WD can maneuver the ship in time.Review$449.99 MSRP...
Abstract: It is not often that we review two separate SSDs within the same report, however this is a rather unique opportunity. Back in 2016, Western Digital acquired SanDisk in one of the largest flash memory purchases ever; a very rare occasion for a company to a...

At the beginning of our review, we said we would tell you why you need one of these SSDs. After reading through everything so far, we're pretty sure that we don't need to. The new WD Black and SanDisk Extreme Pro are some of the best SSDs out. They are bu...
Top-notch performance, Priced more like a budget NVMe SSD than a premium model, Five-year warranty
Boring label, Easy to confuse with an older WD Black SSD that was also M.2/NVMe
The Western Digital Black 3D NVMe SSD is as fast as Samsung's 960 Pro, but it costs a lot less. In fact, it's only slightly more expensive than entry-level drives. It's the drive that smart buyers should go for...
3400 MB/s read, 2800 MB/s write speeds, No overheating issues, Single-sided for better compatibility, Developed completely in-house by WD
None that we found
The launch of the WD Black NVMe SSD is in our opinion one of the biggest launches for the company. It is something that Western Digital has really needed and finally brings them into the discussion for high-end NVMe drives. The high-performance NVMe marke...
