Western Digital Black NVMe M.2 SSD, PCIe M.2 Type 2280 - 250 GB [WDS250G2X0C]

The SSDs are not only faster, they are also characterized by absolute silence and shock resistance (no mechanical parts), extremely low power consumption and - of course, especially in M.2 format - a small size. In addition, the connection via PCIe x4 and the NVMe protocol offers an unbeatable speed advantage of up to 8 Gbit / s.

The Western Digital Black NVMe SSD Overview (250 GB)
- High quality 3D NAND TLC flash
- Controller from Sandisk
- Strong performance with max. 3,000 / 1,600 MB / s read / write
- 220,000 / 170,000 IOPS Random Read / Write
- 250 GB capacity
- Compact M.2 format (2280)

The Western Digital Black NVMe SSD is a particularly small yet powerful solid-state drive for an M.2 slot, which is addressed here via the NVMe interface. Support for the modern, fast interface format is absolutely justified, as the version of the Western Digital Black NVMe SSD offered here with 250 GB of memory is very powerful, as revealed by the sequential read and write rates, which are at high 3,000 and 1,600 MB / s respectively ,

This is also due to the 3D NAND TLC flash and Sandisk's in-house controller. The excellent performance impressed all the more in view of the small Ultrabook- or tablet-capable size of the drive, after all, the Western Digital Black NVMe SSD is just under 8 cm long and 2.2 cm wide. For use, however, a free M.2 NVMe connection must be present in the device. Compatibility should be obtained from the manufacturer before purchasing.
