Surely you were waiting for Black Friday to get yourself a good SSD, because that date might not arrive, because with this offer it is really hard for us to find a better price at this event … And if you don’t look and don’t not compare.
WD BLACK SN750 SE 500 GB, the cheapest?
The first thing we need to know about this SSD is that it really differs from its normal version, since this one, as we have clarified, is the SE or Second Edition. And knowing the minimal difference in its name, what differences are there and why is it coming to market as an SE?
Well, really quite a few things differentiate them, although it’s true that they’re minimal as such. In a way, the SE version is an upgrade, an update to the original that seeks to cut costs by adding more specs.
In this 500 GB version we find an SSD in the format M.2 2280 with NVMe protocol which carries a length of 80mm, width of 22mm and height of 2.38mm and here is the first difference, because although they share dimensions, the original WD SN750 can be made with a heatsink thermal, that the WD SN750 SE n °
Comparatively speaking and leaving this detail aside, the weight of both units is the same, only 7.5 grams, but if we talk about its interface, here we find the most palpable difference. This SE version is compatible with PCIe generation 4.0, while its brother remains at 3.0, a curious fact that would make us think that the performance will skyrocket, but …
The interface does not matter, but the NAND Flash and its controller
In this version of the WD SN750 SE 500 GB we find a very curious casuistry and it is that despite being PCIe 4.0 its sequential read speed is only 3.600 MB / s, when his brother is 3.430 MB / s despite half the bandwidth.
In sequential writing, exactly the same thing happens if we compare them in these 500 GB, but the opposite happens: the little brother is faster. And it is that this version is carried out 2,000 MB / s, while your immediate family member is traveling to 2,600 MB / s, very curious without a doubt.
In return, this WD SN750 SE 500 GB gives us more write IOPS (480K vs 380K), which is a pretty big advantage. Another curiosity is that they share durability and strength with nothing less than 300 TBW and reliability MTTF of 1,750,000 hours.
Its operating range is 0 to 70º C, where the Throttling will appear and they also share a 5-year warranty, so you could say that this WD SN750 SE 500GB is an upgraded version and cheaper than its sibling, especially now that it’s a 15% cheaper go down to 74.79 dollars.
