WD_BLACK SN750 NVMe™ SSD

High-Performance Gaming Storage

The WD_BLACK SN750 NVMe SSD (WDS500G3XHC) is a 500GB M.2 2280 drive with a pre-installed EKWB heatsink, designed for gamers and PC enthusiasts. Powered by a Western Digital in-house controller and 64-layer 3D TLC NAND, it delivers sequential read/write speeds up to 3,430 MB/s and 2,600 MB/s, respectively, with up to 410,000 read IOPS and 330,000 write IOPS. The PCIe Gen3 x4 interface and NVMe 1.3 protocol ensure fast load times and system responsiveness, ideal for gaming and multitasking.

Optimized for Gaming

The SN750 includes the WD_BLACK SSD Dashboard with a "Gaming Mode" that disables low-power states to maintain peak performance during intense gaming sessions. The pre-installed EKWB aluminum heatsink ensures sustained performance by preventing thermal throttling, making it ideal for desktop PCs with M.2 slots. With 512MB DRAM cache and a 300 TBW endurance rating, it supports heavy workloads like game installations and 4K video editing. The drive is backward compatible with PCIe Gen2 but requires an M.2 (M-key) slot.

Reliable and Sleek Design

The SN750’s single-sided M.2 2280 form factor (80.15 x 24.5 x 8.1 mm with heatsink) fits desktops and some laptops, complementing RGB-lit or water-cooled builds. It offers a 5-year limited warranty and a 1,750,000-hour MTTF for durability. The WD_BLACK SSD Dashboard provides tools for monitoring health, updating firmware, and analyzing SMART attributes. Installation is straightforward but requires a standard M3 screw (max head diameter 5.6mm) and careful torque to avoid damage.
