WD_BLACK AN1500 1TB PCIe 3.0 x8 SSD with Heatsink

The WD_BLACK AN1500 is an internal NVMe Solid State Drive provided in an Add-in Card form factor, specifically designed for desktop systems requiring maximum storage performance. Operating via a PCIe 3.0 x8 interface, this device utilizes high bandwidth to deliver accelerated data operations without requiring a dedicated M.2 slot. This makes it suitable for power users, content creators, and gamers seeking substantial NVMe speed within a specialized component setup.

The 1TB capacity model provides substantial throughput, offering sequential read speeds up to 6500 MB/s and sequential write speeds of 4100 MB/s. To maintain peak performance during sustained high-demand workloads, the AN1500 incorporates an integrated heatsink. This thermal management solution actively prevents performance throttling, which is critical during heavy file transfers or extended gaming sessions. The device is rated with a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 1.75 million hours, indicating high operational longevity.
