Western Digital WD_BLACK SN8100 1TB M.2 PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe SSD, Black

The Western Digital WD_BLACK SN8100 is an internal solid-state drive designed for high-demand computing applications, including 4K content creation, AI workloads, and intensive gaming. Utilizing the PCIe Gen 5.0 x4 interface, this 1 TB drive enables sequential data transfer rates up to 14,900 MB/s for reads and 11,000 MB/s for writes. This performance profile ensures minimal loading times and efficient handling of large asset files in professional and enthusiast systems.

Constructed in the standard M.2 2280 form factor, the SSD utilizes TLC 3D NAND architecture paired with the Silicon Motion SM2508 controller. High data processing capability is evident through random I/O specifications, which reach 1,600,000 IOPS read and 2,400,000 IOPS write for demanding queue depths. Reliability metrics include a stated endurance rating of 600 TBW and a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 1,750,000 hours. An integrated heatsink is included to assist in maintaining optimal thermal performance under sustained load, preventing thermal throttling.
