Speciﬁcations subject to change without notice.

For 1000GB capacity.

As used for storage capacity, one gigabyte (GB) = one billion bytes, and one terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending on operating environment. As used for transfer rate or interface,

megabyte per second (MB/s) = one million bytes per second, and gigabit per second (Gb/s) = one billion bits per second. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software components and conﬁgurations.

Not all products may be available in all regions of the world.

Backward compatible with PCIe Gen3 x2, PCIe Gen3 x1, PCIe Gen2 x4, PCIe Gen2 x2, and PCIe Gen2 x1.

Test Conditions: Performance is based on the CrystalDiskMark 5.2.2 benchmark using a 1000MB LBA range ASUS Z170A desktop with Intel® i7–6700K 4.0GHz, 8GB 2133MHz DDR4. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit using Microsoft

StorNVMe driver, secondary drive. Performance may vary based on host device. 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes. IOPS = input/output operations per second.

Q=Queue, T=Thread.

TBW (terabytes written) values calculated using JEDEC client workload (JESD219) and vary by product capacity.

Power measurements at 25°C.

Measured using MobileMark™ 2014 on HP EliteBook X360 1030 G2 with i7–7600U, 8GB RAM. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit RS3 using Microsoft StorNVMe driver, Primary drive.

MTTF = Mean Time To Failure based on internal testing using Telcordia stress part testing (Telcordia SR-332, GB, 25°C). MTTF is based on a sample population and is estimated by statistical measurements and accelera-

tion algorithms. MTTF does not predict an individual drive’s reliability and does not constitute a warranty.

Operational temperature as reported by device (composite temperature).

Non-operational storage temperature does not guarantee data retention.

5 years or Max Endurance (TBW) limit, which ever comes ﬁrst. See support.wdc.com for regional speciﬁc warranty details.
