WD Black SN8100 1TB M.2 2280 PCIe Gen5 x4 NVMe - WDS100T1X0M-00CMT0

WD Black SN8100 1TB is a PCIe Gen5 x4 NVMe SSD in M.2 2280 form factor, aimed at high-end gaming and serious workstations. With up to 14900MB/s read speed and up to 11000MB/s write speed, this is a disk for configurations where you don't want storage to be a bottleneck. Works with PCIe NVMe 5.0 interface, so it's aimed at the latest platforms. The black design is clean, without RGB, which is a plus if you want a serious build without a light show.

What you get: SSD, which is created for heavy loads – from modern AAA games to 4K/8K video editing and large projects. The combination of NAND flash memory and PCIe 5.0 interface gives brutally fast transfers, which is felt in shorter loading screens, lightning-fast copying of large files and faster application startup. High IOPS values help when working with many small files – for example compilations, virtual machines or large libraries with assets. The M.2 2280 form factor makes it super convenient for modern motherboards, where you just click it into the slot without cables and fuss. With 1TB capacity you have a good balance between space for OS, main games and a few heavier projects.

• 1TB Capacity – sufficient for operating system, main software and a solid library of games or projects.
• PCIe NVMe 5.0 interface – designed for the latest platforms with Gen5 slots to squeeze the maximum out of the disk.
• Up to 14900MB/s read speed – significantly faster game loading, levels and large projects.
• Up to 11000MB/s write speed – very fast copying, video exports and working with heavy files.
• IOPS 1 600 000 / 2 400 000 – high performance with many small operations, useful for multitasking and professional applications.
• M.2 2280 form factor – standard size for modern motherboards and laptops, easy installation without additional cables.
• 60 months warranty – 5 years coverage, which gives peace of mind for long-term use in daily gaming or work.

Suitable if you are building a high-end gaming system, workstation for video, 3D, code work or simply want storage that doesn't slow you down in anything. If your platform doesn't have PCIe Gen5 slots or you are strictly chasing a budget build, you probably won't use its full potential and you can also look at more accessible Gen4 variants.

The combination of PCIe 5.0 interface, very high read/write speeds and serious IOPS values makes WD Black SN8100 1TB SSD an excellent core for a fast and modern configuration, where storage simply doesn't stop the rest of the hardware.
