Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers regard the WD_BLACK SN770 as a compelling budget‑friendly PCIe Gen4 SSD that punches above its weight class, delivering flagship‑like sequential speeds and solid endurance while keeping costs low. They commend its value, fast load times, and low power draw, but warn that the DRAM‑less design and lack of a heatsink could limit sustained performance in demanding scenarios.
What Users Say
General users praise the drive for its rapid game loading, smooth everyday performance, and easy installation, seeing it as a solid value for a 2 TB capacity. Recurring concerns revolve around thermal throttling without a heatsink and occasional slowdowns during long write operations, especially for those expecting flagship‑level consistency.
Common Complaints
Thermal throttling in hot setups without a heatsink, occasional dips in sustained write performance due to the DRAM‑less architecture, and lower random read IOPS compared to higher‑end competitors.
What People Are Saying
“Fast game loading and smooth performance in PCs/PlayStation 5”
