The WD Black SN750 is the US brand's flagship M.2 NVMe SSD. Recall that Western Digital, widely known primarily for its HDDs, several years ago absorbed SanDisk and began to actively develop its own solid state drives. The SN750 model is already the second iteration of the Black SSD, which has become not only faster, but also cheaper. There are four sizes to choose from: 250 GB, 500 GB, 1 TB and 2 TB.

Proven design

The Black SN750 is built on a proprietary tri-core WD / SanDisk controller and 64-layer SanDisk 3D TLC BICS3 flash memory (the number and density of chips depends on the size of the SSD). Additionally, a DDR4 buffer memory chip is provided, the volume of which is 256 MB for every 250 GB of SSD capacity (for example, 1 GB for a 1 TB SSD model). In addition, two configurations are available — without a radiator and with a passive cooler designed by EKWB, a well-known manufacturer of LSS.

faster than the wind

For the terabyte version, the highest sequential read and write speed is claimed: 3450 and 3000 MB / s, respectively. This automatically makes the WD Black SN750 one of the fastest SSDs on the market. Versions with a volume of 500 GB and 2 TB are only slightly inferior in terms of linear speeds to the terabyte one, but the 250-gigabyte one is already noticeably behind (3100/1600 MB / s). However, it is still ahead of most competitors of a similar volume.

Insurance for years

Like other SSDs based on TLC memory, the Black SN750 slows down when sequentially writing very large files (more than 12 GB), but only twice (up to 1500 MB / s), while many competitors sag three to five times. The drive then needs a short rest period to regain its original speed. In general, the WD Black SN750 is one of the most interesting M.2 NVMe x4 SSDs at the moment. Pleasant bonuses are a 5-year warranty, a high claimed rewriting resource (600 TB for a 1 TB model) and a functional proprietary WD SSD Dashboard utility.
