Western Digital DC SN861 BICS6 3.2TB U.2 PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD

The Western Digital DC SN861 is an enterprise-class NVMe U.2 solid-state drive engineered for demanding data center and AI workloads. Utilizing the PCIe Gen5 x4 interface and advanced BICS6 NAND technology, this storage solution is configured for high sustained throughput. It achieves sequential read speeds up to 13,700 MB/s and sequential writes reaching 7,200 MB/s. This level of bandwidth is crucial for rapidly processing large data sets and minimizing operational latency within server infrastructure.

Reliability and data integrity are primary design considerations for the SN861, which features a 3 DWPD endurance rating suitable for intensive daily write cycles. It is designed to maintain data consistency through end-to-end data protection, robust ECC functionality, and integrated Enhanced Power Loss Protection (PLP). The drive reports a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2.5 million hours, confirming its readiness for deployment in 24/7 enterprise environments requiring sustained operational stability and advanced security capabilities.
