WD Blue SN570 500GB NVMe drive

The WD Blue SN570 is a 500GB internal SSD built on a single-sided M.2 2280 form factor. It connects through a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 interface and uses TLC memory. The drive targets everyday computing, content creation and gaming workloads.

Upgrade from SATA or PCIe 3.0 x2 SSDs

Moving from a SATA SSD limited to 500 MB/s or an older PCIe 3.0 x2 drive lifting the sequential read ceiling to 3500 MB/s and write to 2300 MB/s. Random performance reaches 360000 IOPS read and 390000 IOPS write. The jump matters when large project files or game assets load repeatedly.

Fits any M.2 2280 slot with PCIe 3.0 x4 wiring

The single-sided 2.38mm profile clears tight laptop bays and compact desktops. A motherboard with an M.2 key-M slot wired for four lanes is required to hit the rated speeds. Active power peaks at 4.0W while idle states drop to 90 mW average, 30 mW in PS3 and 5 mW in PS4, leaving thermal headroom for other components.

Questions about this item

Will the M.2 2280 form factor fit a standard 2280 slot on my motherboard?

The drive is built to the M.2 2280 specification measuring 22.00mm wide by 80.00mm long with a single-sided 2.38mm height, matching the standard slot and screw position on most current boards.

What is the common mistake when inserting the PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe SSD into the M.2 slot?

Installers often leave the drive tilted and forget to secure it with the retention screw, which can break PCIe contact; press the drive flat until the notch engages, then fasten the screw.

How can I track the 300TB TBW endurance limit over the life of the drive?

Use the downloadable Western Digital SSD Dashboard to monitor the percentage-used SMART attribute, which increments as host writes approach the 300TB warranty threshold.
