WD_BLACK SN770 1TB WDS100T3X0E

PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 solid-state drive for desktops and laptops

The WD_BLACK SN770 WDS100T3X0E is a 1TB internal NVMe solid-state drive designed for desktops, laptops, and workstations with an M.2 2280 PCIe slot. It uses a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface and NVMe protocol to provide sequential read speeds up to 5,150 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 4,900 MB/s. The drive uses 3D TLC NAND flash and has a rated endurance of up to 600 TBW. Its single-sided M.2 2280 design supports installation in systems that provide adequate clearance and PCIe Gen4 connectivity. The SN770 is also backward compatible with supported PCIe Gen3 systems, where performance is limited by the host interface.

Is the WDS100T3X0E compatible with PCIe Gen3 systems?

Yes. The drive can operate in supported PCIe Gen3 M.2 slots, but transfer rates will be limited by the host system's PCIe Gen3 interface.

What slot is required to install this SSD?

Installation requires an M.2 2280 slot with PCIe NVMe support. An M-key slot is typically used for this PCIe x4 drive.

Does the WD_BLACK SN770 include a heatsink?

The WDS100T3X0E is supplied as a bare M.2 drive without an integrated heatsink. Use the motherboard or system cooling solution when required.

What performance does the 1TB model provide?

The 1TB model is rated for sequential read speeds up to 5,150 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 4,900 MB/s under compatible operating conditions.

Can this SSD be used as a boot drive?

Yes. It can be used as a boot or application drive in systems with compatible UEFI, M.2, PCIe, and NVMe support.

How is the SSD firmware updated?

Firmware and drive health management are supported through Western Digital's current dashboard software, subject to operating system and product support.
