It’s easy to get confused over WD’s naming schemes for its SSDs, but in general, if it’s Black it’s going to be fast, if it’s Blue it’s going to be not quite so fast, and if it’s Red it’s going to have a decent endurance rating. The problem is that there are then different model names within those lineups. The WD Black SN770 we’re reviewing here isn’t the only Black series SSD to sit in WD’s arsenal, but it is one worth considering – especially if it’s on sale.
The big question, then, is how does the SN770 stack up against some of the best SSDs for gaming? To find out, we’ve put the drive to the test in our labs, looking at its overall performance and operating temperature versus the competition, including the manufacturer’s flagship WD Black SN850 drive.
