New WD Black: faster, more reliable, more functional
After the widespread transition to TLC 3D NAND memory, WD has radically updated its not the most successful line of Black drives. As part of this redesign, the hero of today's WD Black SSD M.2 review came out — a truly fast and advanced SSD with a very tempting price tag.
Smart controller of our own design
The main thing that has been updated is the controller. Instead of the inexpensive Marvell Eldora, the WD Black SSD M.2 has a proprietary controller. Because of this, everything has changed: the SLC caching logic has changed, the speed of random operations has tripled, the sequential write speed has quadrupled, and the linear read speed has reached the bandwidth limit of the PCI Express bus! In numbers, the WD Black SSD M.2 sequential write speed is 1600 MB / s, read speed is 3100 MB / s, and write IOPS reaches 180K. According to the general results of synthetic tests, the new product from WD is in the same company with recognized leaders — ADATA XPG SX8200, Intel SSD 760p and Samsung 970 EVO.
Disc optimization software for gaming
WD understood that gamers and enthusiasts would be the main buyers of the WD Black SSD M.2, so the drive was supplied with a set of unusual SSD Dashboard software that allows you to optimize the speed of the drive. For example, turn off the power saving mode or adjust the SMART settings for the duration of the game. In addition, SSD Dashboard can monitor disk health, automate data cloning, and do many other useful things.
Five-year warranty with a long failure life
Throw in a five-year high-to-failure warranty (200 TBW), split by the $75 price tag, and you have one of the most interesting NVMe SSDs out there. There seems to be some real competition in this segment.
