WD BLACK SN750 NVMe 500GB

The WD BLACK SN750 NVMe 500GB is an internal SSD built for consumer workloads that demand fast storage. It uses a PCI‑Express 3.0 x4 interface and 64‑layer 3D NAND in an M.2 2280 form factor.

Best fit for gaming and heavy workloads

The drive suits gamers and power users who want quicker level loads and responsive applications. Users needing sustained write performance beyond the 300 TBW endurance or a built‑in heatsink should consider other models.

Capacity headroom and limits

Sequential reads reach 3430 MB/s and writes reach 2600 MB/s, with random reads up to 420000 IOPS and writes up to 380000 IOPS. The 500GB capacity handles modern game libraries and creative projects, while the 300 TBW rating and 1750000 hours MTTF define its endurance boundary.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need an M.2 2280 slot with PCI-Express 3.0 x4 to install this drive?

Yes — the drive uses the M.2 2280 form factor and a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 interface, so the board must provide that exact slot and lane configuration.

Will this SSD work in a system that only has PCI-Express 2.0 M.2 slots?

The drive is backward-compatible with PCI-Express 2.0 slots, but sequential speeds will be limited to the 2.0 bandwidth ceiling rather than the rated 3,430 MB/s read and 2,600 MB/s write.

How can I verify the drive is delivering its rated 420,000 IOPS random read and 380,000 IOPS random write after installation?

Run a 4 KB random read/write benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark or AS SSD and compare the reported IOPS to the 420,000 read and 380,000 write figures.
