Before we get to the model I’m testing today, let’s talk a bit about the series in general. With 2.5-inch, mSATA, and M.2 form factors, there aren’t many systems which won’t be able to run this drive.

Since NVMe SSDs came to market, we've largely ignored M.2 SATA products. At one time, these were the hot new form factor responsible for enabling slim PCs and millions of devices support the form ...

I know M.2 drives are faster - but my WD Black also run at least 20 degrees hotter - measured by the temp of the heat sink - than my WD Blue, which stays at room temperature. The speed gain seems ...

Because of what SSDs are, solid-state drives (SSDs) are a core component of any modern PC, whether it’s a traditional SATA SSD or a more modern NVMe drive. Knowing the difference between these two ...

The realm of storage, as is the case of any other technology, is full of jargon and terminology unique to the technology itself. The sheer volume of terms can quickly become baffling to the average ...
