WD Green SN350 NVMe 500GB Gen3 SSD

The WD Green SN350 NVMe SSD (model WDS500G2G0C) is a 500GB M.2 2280 solid-state drive designed to bring NVMe performance to everyday computing at a cost-effective price point. Running on a PCIe Gen3 x4 interface with NVMe v1.3 protocol, it delivers sequential read speeds of up to 2400 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 1500 MB/s — a significant step up from traditional SATA-based SSDs. Random read and write performance both reach up to 300,000 4KB IOPS, making multitasking and application loading noticeably more responsive. The drive uses TLC (Triple-Level Cell) NAND flash memory, striking a practical balance between capacity, speed, and cost. With no moving mechanical parts, it is inherently more resilient to physical shocks and vibrations compared to traditional hard drives, helping protect stored data during everyday use. Installation is straightforward: the slim M.2 2280 form factor (80.15 mm × 22.15 mm × 2.38 mm) fits into any compatible NVMe M.2 slot on a laptop or desktop motherboard. The drive weighs just 8.5 g and supports operating temperatures from 0°C to 70°C, with non-operating tolerance 40°C to 85°C. Western Digital's free SSD Dashboard software allows users to monitor drive health, available capacity, temperature, and overall performance in real time, helping maintain peak operation over the drive's lifespan.
