Western Digital PC SN530 512GB NVMe SSD

This internal solid-state drive uses the M.2 2280 form factor and a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 interface. It is built for laptops and desktops that need fast, low-latency storage in a compact module. The 512GB capacity suits operating systems, applications and active project files.

Self-encrypting drive hardware

The drive includes self-encrypting drive technology that protects data at rest without software overhead. Hardware-based encryption handles the workload transparently, so performance remains consistent while meeting security policies for business or personal use.

PCI-Express 3.0 x4 sequential read up to 2400 MBps

The interface and controller deliver sequential reads up to 2400 MBps and writes up to 1750 MBps. Random 4KB performance reaches 315,000 IOPS read and 230,000 IOPS write. These figures determine whether the drive matches the throughput needs of your workload.

Questions about this item

Will the SED encryption on the PC SN530 512GB require a firmware update later?

The drive uses hardware-based SED encryption that operates independently of the OS and does not require scheduled firmware updates for the encryption engine itself.

What is the first limit reached when the SN530 512GB runs sustained writes at 1750 MBps?

The sequential write ceiling of 1750 MBps is the first hard limit; the controller will throttle to stay within thermal limits before the NAND endurance rating becomes a factor.

How much power does the PC SN530 512GB draw and how hot does it get in an all-day workload?

The PCIe 3.0 x4 interface keeps typical active power in the low single-digit watt range and the M.2 2280 form factor dissipates heat through the motherboard slot.
