In the fast-evolving tech industry, it’s key to anticipate what’s next, to deliver solutions that exceed and redefine user expectations.
At Sandisk, we believe that innovation must be purposeful. This belief is what drives our latest breakthrough – the WD_BLACK SN8100 NVMe SSD, our flagship PCIe Gen 5 drive that’s setting a new standard for speed, efficiency, and reliability.
Let’s talk about what makes Gen 5 SSDs a game-changer. It’s not just an incremental upgrade; Gen 5 enables a generational leap. With sequential read speeds of up to 14,900 MB/s and write speeds up to 14,000 MB/s, the WD_BLACK SN8100 NVMe SSD is built for the most demanding workloads, whether that’s 4K and 8K video editing, AI applications, or next-gen gaming. However, raw speed is only part of the story. What truly sets this drive apart is its performance and power efficiency – important qualities in a high-performance gaming or content creation rig.
In the Asia-Pacific region, where digital transformation is accelerating at an unprecedented pace, the demand for high-performance storage solutions is surging. From Singapore’s smart city infrastructure to Australia’s booming creative industries, the need for fast, reliable, and scalable storage is growing.
The WD_BLACK SN8100 NVMe SSD is powered by advanced Sandisk BiCS8 TLC 3D CBA NAND technology and has over 2,300,000 IOPS of random performance, delivering not just speed but data integrity, low latency, and sustained performance under pressure. It’s also backward compatible, ensuring a smooth transition for users upgrading from Gen 4 systems.
But perhaps the most exciting part? This is just the beginning.
As AI applications become more complex and content creation becomes more immersive, storage will play an even more critical role in system performance. Gen 5 SSDs like the WD_BLACK SN8100 are not just keeping up – they’re paving the way. With up to 8TB of capacity and 2,400 TBW endurance, this drive is built to handle the future, not just the present.
Creating industry-leading solutions is our top priority. It means listening to our customers, anticipating their needs, and delivering solutions that empower them to do more. At Sandisk, we’re proud to lead the Gen 5 way with the WD_BLACK SN8100, and we’re even more excited about what comes next.
