The 2TB Blue 3D NAND SATA III M.2 2280 Internal SSD from WD operates with a lower average active power draw of 60m W & features a storage capacity of up to 2TB, a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, sequential write speeds of up to 530 MB/s, sequential read speeds of up to 560 MB/s, random writes of up to 84, 000 IOPS, & random reads of up to 95, 000 IOPS. Also employed is 1.75 million hours MTTF (mean time to failure) & an endurance rating (lifetime writes) of 500 TBW (terabytes written). With solid-state drive technology, you benefit from load & access times for your files & programs that are faster than a conventional 7200 rpm hard drive. As SSDs have no moving parts, they are also more durable than traditional hard drives & are better protected against damage from drops & bumps. Having no moving parts also means that SSDs receive less wear & tear, as there are no read or write heads for the drive media to come into contact with. SSDs also help to deliver enhanced battery life & cooler operating temperatures. Protection is provided by a limited 5-year warranty. High Capacity with Enhanced Reliability A WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD uses Western Digital 3D NAND technology to achieve higher capacities than previous generation WD Blue SSDs & help reduce cell-to-cell interference for enhanced reliability. Enhanced Power Efficiency Offering enhanced endurance, a WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD features an active power draw up to 25% lower than previous generation WD Blue SSDs. With less power used, you've able to work longer before recharging your laptop. Performance for High-End Computing For a variety of computing applications like gaming, HD media playback, or creative software, look to WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSDs. Western Digital 3D NAND technology helps enable sequential read speeds up to 560 MB/s & sequential write speeds up to 530 MB/s for faster system boots, application responses, & transfer speeds. Reliability An SSD is designed with no moving parts to help protect against data loss if it is accidentally bumped or dropped. & with 1.75 million hours MTTF (mean time to failure), up to 500 TBW (terabytes written), & several error correction technologies, WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSDs can help guard data for years to come. Broad Compatibility With a certification from the WD Functional Integrity Testing Lab (F.I.T. Lab), every WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD is verified for use with a wide range of desktop & laptop computers. Every WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD goes through extensive compatibility & reliability testing to help ensure it meets high standards.
