Western Digital Blue SN5000 4TB M.2 NVMe Gen4 SSD

The Western Digital Blue SN5000 4TB is a high-capacity internal solid-state drive designed for users who need substantial storage without stepping away from the mainstream price bracket. Built on the M.2 2280 form factor, it slots natively into desktops, laptops, and mini-PCs that support the standard M.2 slot, making it a straightforward upgrade path for existing systems. Running on the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface, the SN5000 takes advantage of the fourth-generation NVMe lane bandwidth available on modern Intel and AMD platforms. Sequential read performance reaches up to 5,500 MB/s, which translates into noticeably faster application launches, quicker file transfers, and reduced loading times compared to SATA-based solid-state drives. At 4TB capacity, the drive offers ample headroom for operating systems, application libraries, large media projects, and game installations — all on a single, compact module. The Blue series sits in Western Digital's consumer-focused lineup, positioned as a dependable everyday performer. The SN5000 carries Western Digital's model number WDS400T4B0E-00BKY0 and is identified by GTIN 718037898384, making it straightforward to verify authenticity against retail listings.
