Western Digital Blue M.2 SSD, SATA 6G - 1TB [WDS100T1B0B]

The SSDs are not only faster, they are also characterized by absolute silence and shock resistance (no mechanical parts), an extremely low power consumption as well as a small size.

The Western Digital Blue M.2 SSD at a glance (1 TB)

High-quality 15-nm TLC-NAND flash
88SS1074 Controller from Marvell
Strong performance with max. 545/525 MB / s read / write
100,000 / 80,000 IOPS Random Read / Write
Enormous storage space with 1 TB capacity
Compact M.2 format (2280)

The Western Digital Blue M.2 SSD is a particularly small yet powerful solid-state drive for an M.2 slot, which is addressed via the SATA-6G interface. The support for the modern, fast interface format is absolutely justified, as the version of the Digital Blue M.2 SSD offered here with 1 TB storage space is very powerful, as the sequential read and write rates reveal that at high 545 and 525 MB / S.

This is also due to the TLC-NAND-Flash and the 88SS1074 controller from Marvell. The excellent performance is impressive because of the low ultrabook or tablet size of the drive the more, the Western Digital Blue M.2 SSD is just 8 cm long and 2.2 cm wide. However, there must be a free M.2 SATA port in the device for use. Note that mainboards with Z97 chipset may not support M.2 SATA, but only M.2 PCIe. You should therefore ask for compatibility before purchasing from the manufacturer.
