High-performance 500GB internal M.2 SSD with high-speed PCI-E Gen3 4x interface. Made in the form factor 2280, compatible with a wide range of motherboards equipped with M.2 Socket 3 (M key). It features impressively high sequential and random read/write speeds (up to 3470/2600 Mbps). It is positioned as a product of the upper price category, designed for high-performance personal computers and entry/mid-level workstations (without server functions).
In addition, it is recommended by the manufacturer for installation in premium gaming systems. Especially for this area of use, the WD Black SN750 NVME SSD WDS500G3XHC supports a special gaming mode, Gaming Mode, aimed at enthusiasts who want to get the highest possible performance. When this mode is activated, power-saving functions are disabled, which allows minimizing delays during initial data accesses.
The hardware basis of this model is an efficient 8-channel SanDisk 20-82-00701 controller with a 512 MB DRAM buffer based on DDR4-2400 memory. To store user data, high-tech 64-layer 256-Gbps 3D TLC NAND BiCS3 flash memory is used. To remove the heat generated during intensive operation of the drive, a massive aluminium radiator is provided, which guarantees the preservation of the optimal temperature regime under any load.

Black Lightning
WD Black SN750 is currently one of the fastest M.2 SSDs with a capacity of half a terabyte, it interacts with a PC via the PCI-E 3.0 x4 bus. And given that PCI-E 4.0 drives start from 1 TB, the Black SN750 will remain the leader among half-terabyte models in the future. Two configurations are available to choose from: without a radiator and with a pre-installed cooler, moreover, it was developed not by anyone, but by the eminent American company EKWB.
three headed dragon
Given that the brain of the WD Black SN750 is a powerful three-core controller (most competitors have only two cores), paying a little extra for the version with a heatsink will obviously not be superfluous. However, many modern motherboards in the middle and higher price segments are equipped with their own M.2 heatsink. Flash memory chips from SanDisk's WD Black SN750 (recall that earlier WD bought SanDisk's semiconductor factories) are 64-layer 3D TLC BICS3. Additionally, a 512 MB buffer RAM chip is soldered.
Race leader
Considering all this, the sequential read speed is 3450 MB / s (with a theoretical maximum of 3500), and the sequential write speed is 2600 MB / s (competitors often only up to 2000). The indicator of random reading and writing of the smallest 4K blocks also did not let us down — 380 and 420K IOPS, respectively. Like all TLC SSDs without exception, the WD Black SN750 slows down when writing very large amounts of data at a time.
Five years of peace
The volume of the fast virtual SLC cache is 8 GB, but even after it is full, the speed drops only by half — up to 1300 MB / s. This indicates the use of selective flash memory, while the speed of competitors can sag four to five times. Additionally, the WD Black SN750 should be praised for its five-year warranty and a high rewriting resource of 300 TB. Those who want to save money should take a closer look at the low-cost WD Blue SN550 with speeds of 2400/1750 Mbps.
