WESTERN DIGITAL BLACK SN7100 500GB M.2 Nvme Gen4 Solid State Drive ( SSD )

The Western Digital Black SN7100 500GB is a high-performance M.2 2280 NVMe solid-state drive built on the PCIe Gen 4.0 interface and Western Digital's own TLC 3D NAND flash. It is purpose-designed for gamers who demand rapid load times without sacrificing battery life, making it a strong fit for gaming laptops and handheld gaming devices alike. With sequential read throughput of up to 7,250 MB/s and sequential write throughput of up to 6,900 MB/s, the SN7100 delivers strong bandwidth for large asset streaming and fast game installation. Random performance reaches up to 1,000K IOPS read and 1,400K IOPS write, which translates to snappy in-game traversal and quick desktop responsiveness. The 500GB capacity (model WDS500G4X0E) provides ample room for a sizeable game library while leaving headroom for DLC and future titles. Endurance is rated at 300 TBW, giving users a dependable lifespan through extended gameplay, content capture, and everyday computing tasks. Western Digital also ships a downloadable WD_BLACK Dashboard utility for Windows that lets users monitor drive health, temperature, and performance in real time. The drive operates between 0°C and 85°C and handles non-operating conditions from −40°C to 85°C, reflecting its rugged thermal specification. It is RoHS-compliant and ships without a heatsink, so it works in slim M.2 slots where clearance is limited.
