Everyone knows NVMe SSDs are speedier than traditional SATA III SSDs. However, they’re much more expensive than ever. We reviewed a few NVMe SSDs in the past – and so far, the fastest NVMe SSD that we’ve tested is the Plextor M9Pe series. The big boy wants to challenge that status by introducing the new Western Digital Black 3D NVMe SSD.
This M.2 drive features a new NVMe architecture and controller, which optimally integrates with Western Digital 3D NAND. Western Digital’s new vertically integrated SSD platform was engineered from the ground up, specifically architected to help maximize performance for NVMe SSDs, with advanced power management, durability and endurance for the growing range of applications benefiting from NVMe technology.
“Today’s gaming applications require increasing capability from their PCs, and this will only continue to advance. With our new architecture and controller, the Western Digital Black SSD integrates our 3D NAND technology with the NVMe interface to enable new levels of performance. Whether it’s a new gaming rig or a video-editing workstation, our innovative NVMe drives will power many existing and future environments that enable data to thrive.”
Mark Grace, senior vice president, Devices Business Unit, Western Digital.
The new Western Digital Black 3D NVMe SSD has sequential read speed up to 3,400 MB/s and write speed up to 2,800 MB/s for the 1TB model. That’s faster than the Plextor M9Pe series that tops at around 3,200MB/s read speed and 2,500MB/s write speed.
Western Digital also offers a five-year limited warranty with up to 600TBW endurance (for 1TB model). The Western Digital Black 3D NVMe SSD is available in Malaysia in these capacities and prices:
- 250GB – RM 449.00
- 500GB – RM 799.00
- 1TB – RM1,599.00
The new drives will be available by end of July 2018 in select Western Digital retailers, e-tailers, resellers, system integrators and distributors globally. And I have an extra M.2 slot on my motherboard for this speedy NVMe SSD too wink. 😉
