WD_BLACK SN750 500GB NVMe SSD (WDS500G3X0C) – PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 2280, Up to 3,430MB/s

Proven Gen3 NVMe speed that makes a gaming PC boot and load faster.

The WD_BLACK SN750 500GB is a PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD designed for gaming PCs and workstations. Reading at up to 3,430MB/s with 410K random read IOPS and a 300 TBW endurance rating, it is a fast, reliable boot and game drive for systems with Gen3 or Gen4 M.2 slots.

Why SATA Storage Limits a Gaming PC

SATA SSDs are capped by their interface at roughly 550MB/s, which becomes a bottleneck when loading large game levels, launching heavy applications or transferring media files.

The SN750 uses four PCIe Gen3 lanes to reach up to 3,430MB/s. Its in-house WD controller and DRAM cache keep random performance high, so the system stays responsive when games, voice chat and streaming tools run at the same time.

Consistent Gen3 NVMe Performance

With 410,000 random read IOPS and sequential reads up to 3,430MB/s, the SN750 shortens boot and load times. Its DRAM-equipped design maintains performance across mixed workloads.

Gaming Mode and Health Monitoring
