WD Blue SN5100 2TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD

The WD Blue SN5100 is a 2TB internal solid-state drive built on the M.2 2280 form factor. It utilizes the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface, operating under the NVMe 1.4 protocol to facilitate high data throughput. This configuration allows for rapid sequential reading up to 7100 MB/s and sequential writing up to 6700 MB/s. This performance profile is suited for intensive computing tasks, including video editing, 3D rendering, and rapid access to large datasets.

Powering the unit is a SANDISK Polaris 3 controller paired with SANDISK 3D CBA NAND flash technology. The drive is rated for an endurance level of 900 TBW, supporting sustained reliability in demanding professional environments. The compact design measures 80 mm in length and 22 mm in width, ensuring compatibility with tight builds in both desktop towers and modern laptop systems. The SN5100 also includes TCG Opal 2.01 hardware encryption, securing stored data without depending on host CPU resources.
