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
While it might not deliver cutting edge performance
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

At the beginning of our review, we said we would tell you why you need one of these SSDs. After reading through everything so far, we're pretty sure that we don't need to. The new WD Black and SanDisk Extreme Pro are some of the best SSDs out. They are bu...

WD's new in-house NVMe controller is a big win, but cheaper emerging products leave the Black 3D NVMe SSD with poor pricing at launch. It's like seeing an iceberg on the horizon. Hopefully WD can maneuver the ship in time.Review$449.99 MSRP...
Abstract: It is not often that we review two separate SSDs within the same report, however this is a rather unique opportunity. Back in 2016, Western Digital acquired SanDisk in one of the largest flash memory purchases ever; a very rare occasion for a company to a...

Overall, it outperforms the Intel 600P, but not by much. With the WD Black PCIe at its current prices of $109.99 (256GB) and $199.99 (512GB), the Intel may be a better buy for someone looking to get the cheapest NVMe SSD they can get their hands on or if...

There are still relatively few PCIe SSDs using TLC NAND, and the WD Black is the only one using planar TLC NAND. SanDisk has lately made some of the best planar TLC NAND SSDs with highly effective SLC caching that somewhat insulates them from many of the...
The WD Black PCIe SSD series was designed to be an affordable SSD that unlocks a new level of performance for PC users that have PCIe NVMe compatible systems. The performance numbers we were seeing from this SSD would place it in the entry-level NVMe SSD...
Poor performance in general across all benchmarks, Priced too high compared to the performance it gives
The WD Black PCIe SSD is an M.2 NVMe drive that lacks both performance and competitive pricing in a highly competitive market.WD Black PCIe SSD on Amazon...
The disks under WD's Black label has always been known for high performance and quality, however, a lot of people were not pleased with the original Black PCIe drive. Some have said that it should have been under the Blue label which was the company's lin...
WD Black NVMe SSD will be a tough one to beat. It is one of the fastest NVMe M.2 SSDs around in the market (compared to Kingston and Samsung) and with a blazing fast read/write speed, you can pretty much throw anything you can think of to it and get excel...
Abstract: Western Digital's WD Black 3D NVMe SSD delivers much the same performance as the chart-topping Samsung 960 Pro, but for significantly less cash—$200 less in the 1TB capacity.This is a good thing, and a big deal. Samsung has been unchallenged in the end-us...
