Gamers, content creators, professional photographers, heavy AI workloads… what these people need is a fast SSD solution. Sandisk’s latest tech solution offers speeds for read and write of 14,900MB/s and 14,000MB/s, respectively.

Available in capacities up to 8TB, WD_BLACK SN8100 NVMe SSD with Gen 5.0 technology is the world’s fastest PCIe Gen 5.0 NVMe SSD on the market.

The high speed is required when video game graphics are continuing to get complicated. Besides, there is a growing demand for high-quality 4K and 8K content. And we are not even discussing the visual content that is being created using AI engines.

The new PCIe Gen 5.0 SSD is also 100 per cent more power efficient than Sandisk’s high-performance PCIe Gen 4.0 SSD.

“Whether it’s for high-level gaming, professional content creation or AI applications, high-performance users now have a PCIe Gen 5.0 storage solution that matches speed with power efficiency to help them build the ultimate gaming rig or best-in-class workstation, enabling them to play and create with next-level performance and reliability,” said Eric Spanneut, vice-president of devices for Sandisk.

The company is promising 2,300,000 IOPS of random performance on the 2TB and 4TB models. There is also up to 2,400TBW endurance (4TB). In other words, it will help machines handle intense tasks.

Sandisk is also offering an optional WD_BLACK SN8100 NVMe with PCIe Gen 5.0 SSD with Heatsink, which features a new integrated, low-profile passive cooling design engineered with anodised aluminium with no extra power or noisy fans required.

The WD_BLACK SN8100 NVMe SSD is available in 1TB (₹17,499), 2TB, and 4TB capacity options. The WD_BLACK SN8100 NVMe with Heatsink will also be available this fall in 1TB (₹18,999), 2TB and 4TB capacities.
