IF you need to boost the performance of your computer, you may want to look at the new WD Blue SN550 NVMe SSD.
This solid state drive (SSD) is capable of being up to 4x faster than SATA SSDs, with read speeds up to 2,400 MB/s for ultra-responsive PC performance, with an improved thermal design that helps maintain sustained performance during intense use.
This newest member of the WD Blue portfolio, as well as another performance-focused non-volatile memory (NVMe) SSD, is purpose-built for content creators and PC users, allowing them to boot faster and work smarter.
FOUR CORE STORAGE SUPPORT
Today's content creators use data storage at ever-increasing rates. Whether they are working on 4K/8K videos, large document files or storage-intensive applications, these digital environments demand reliable performance, durability, speed and capacity. These types of work scenarios need the power and capability of the NVMe interface.
According to Forward Insights report, NVMe is forecast to account for more than 75 percent of the storage shipped in the PC segment by 2021. Leveraging the reliability of Western Digital's NVMe product portfolio, the WD Blue SN550 NVMe SSD is built to address these four core demands, transforming them from pain points to creative productivity.
"Taking an NVMe-first approach can speed up system performance tremendously. This translates to less time waiting on data, so creators can work smarter, not harder, to increase both output and potential income," said Western Digital's vice president and general manager, Client Business Unit, Eric Spanneut.
"For a system builder, it means Western Digital delivers a full portfolio of NVMe and SATA SSDs, as well as high-capacity hard drives. This gives them immense flexibility to build systems for our customers' varying needs," he said.
DO MORE, FASTER
Whether you're working, creating, casual gaming or processing large amounts of data, the WD Blue SN550 NVMe SSD is said to be able to deliver over four times the speed of Western Digital's fastest SATA drives.
With boosted internal speeds, this brings a better overall computing experience for multitaskers and resource-heavy application users who want a fast and responsive system to tackle tough workloads.
In addition, an upgraded thermal design enables ultra-responsive PC performance and sustained performance during intense use.
SPECS AND AVAILABILITY
The WD Blue SN550 NVMe SSD is available in capacities from 250GB to 1TB in the M.2 2280 form factor. It comes with a 5-year limited warranty.
