WD Blue SA510 1TB M.2 SATA SSD

The Western Digital WD Blue SA510 is an internal solid-state drive specifically engineered for mainstream PC and laptop upgrades. Adopting the compact M.2 2280 form factor, this 1TB drive utilizes the widely compatible SATA III interface, ensuring straightforward integration into most existing systems. It is intended to replace slower mechanical hard drives or older SATA SSDs, resulting in improved system responsiveness and faster application launch times.

This model achieves sequential performance metrics near the maximum theoretical throughput of the SATA 6 Gb/s standard, with sequential reads reaching 560 MB/s and writes at 520 MB/s. Efficiency is maintained through low power consumption, benefiting laptop battery life and overall system thermal management. The drive utilizes 3D NAND flash technology and includes built-in features such as TRIM and S.M.A.R.T. support for monitoring drive health and optimizing performance.

The drive’s reliability is supported by a 400 TBW endurance rating and a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 1.75 million hours. Its robust construction ensures high operational resilience, capable of handling non-operating shock events up to 1500G, making it suitable for portable computing environments.
