Low performance
Poor endurance
2D NAND again
Misleading branding
Inconsistent performance
Disappointing random write speeds
2D Planer NAND
Overall performance is not a strong as you might expect from a Black labelled drive
Kitguru says

It is good to see WD finally have a drive that gives them a seat at the top tier of SSD
The 4K performance was a little disappointing in some of the tests

With the WD Black NVMe 2018, the storage brand is at the top of the ssd in one fell swoop. That is a commendable result, because there are plenty of other manufacturers who have taken much longer than two generations. In terms of performance, the new WD B...

The 4K performance was a little disappointing in some of the tests
WD's Black label has always been reserved for high performance disks and it has to be said that the original Black PCIe drive was disappointing. There were many that thought it should have actually been released as a Blue label product.Now WD has delivere...

The WD Black NVMe SSD is an incredible step up from the company's previous PCIe drive, delivering a massive increase to read and write speeds. Thanks to the latter being the highest we've ever recorded, it manages to step slightly out from the shadow of t...

Endurance not amazing, Basic info app
A dearth of high-performance third-party controllers has lead to the big storage companies looking inward and design their own. This is why, after years in development, WD has also come to the high-end PCIe NVMe party with its own controller and, in conju...
