WD_BLACK SN7100 500GB gaming SSD

The WD_BLACK SN7100 is a 500GB internal solid state drive built for consumer PCs and handheld gaming devices. It uses a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 interface with the NVMe protocol and TLC 3D NAND flash. Sequential reads reach up to 6800 MBps and writes up to 5800 MBps.

DRAM-less M.2 2280 design

The drive adopts the M.2 2280 form factor and operates without a dedicated DRAM cache, relying on host memory buffer technology. It ships without a heatsink, so it fits thin laptop slots and compact handhelds where clearance is tight. Idle power draw in sleep state is 5mW.

Upgrade from older Gen4 drives

This model delivers up to 35% faster performance than the previous generation and up to 100% better power efficiency for mobile use. Endurance is rated at 3000TB written with a 1,750,000 hour MTBF. The WD_BLACK Dashboard utility on Windows helps maintain peak operation.

Questions about this item

Will this M.2 2280 drive fit my laptop’s single PCIe 4.0 slot without a heatsink?

The drive uses the M.2 2280 form factor and has no integrated heatsink, so it fits standard laptop slots that accept single-sided modules.

Does the 500 GB model deliver the 7,250 MB/s read speed shown for larger capacities?

The 500 GB version is rated for up to 6,800 MB/s sequential read and 5,800 MB/s sequential write.

Is the 3,000 TBW endurance figure enough for heavy game installs and frequent capture recording?

At 3,000 TBW the drive is built for high write workloads such as streaming captures and large game libraries.
