The WD Blue SN570 is one powerful internal drive all content creators should have.
WD improved upon its predecessor by boosting the performance while retaining quality and high reliability, making it a solid value pick for most system builders.
The new SN570 is faster in most types of desktop PC work. This is because of the company’s BiCS5 112-Layer TLC flash paired with the PCIe 3.0 interface. The SN570 also was equipped with a new controller to manage the flash at higher interface speeds.
While the previous-gen SN550 also came with a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface, the SN570 raised the bar by dishing out up to 40% faster sequential read speeds at 3.5 GBps.
The WD Blue SN570 is currently available in 250GB, 500GB, 1TB and 2TB capacities.
While the WD Blue uses a new type of flash, the SLC cache implementation hasn’t changed. The SN570 leverages a small, quick-to-recover static cache to dish out sequential speeds of up to 3.5/3.0 GBps read/write. The 1TB model is the top performer of the series and can deliver up to 460,000/450,000 random read/write IOPS.
Thee Blue SN570 is backed by a five-year warranty. Through the use of refined Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) ECC and roughly 10% of flash dedicated to over-provisioning, the Blue SN570 can endure up to 600TB of writes per terabyte of flash capacity.
With the Blue SN570 you can work with extra confidence and keep your projects on point as the downloadable
Western Digital® SSD Dashboard3 helps you monitor your drive’s health, available space, temperature and more.
Acronis True Image for Western Digital software is also available for download on the support page, enabling simple, quick, and free data cloning and backup. Additionally, the SN570 comes with a one-month membership to Adobe Creative Cloud apps and services.
The Blue SN570 comes in a standard M.2 2280 single-sided form factor with all the components placed on the top of the PCB.
