Western Digital officially announces the next-generation consumer-grade 'blue disk SSD' WD Blue SN5000, which will be released in the summer

News from this site on June 8, Western Digital recently announced that its next-generation retail consumer-grade "blue disk" solid-state drive, the WD Blue SN5000, will be released this summer, including 4TB and 8TB versions.

Western Digital’s last “Blue Disk” series of consumer-grade internal solid-state drives dates back to the SN580, released in mid-2023.

SN580 supports PCIe Gen4, but its sequential read and write speeds are only 4150MB/s, which is far lower than the theoretical upper limit of Gen4x4.

WD Blue SN5000 is expected to achieve a significant improvement in sequential speed, reaching the 6000MB/s level, which is in line with the PC SN5000S launched by Western Digital for OEMs.

Western Digital also announced that the previously launched flagship PCIe Gen4 consumer solid-state drive retail model WD_BLACK SN850X will also receive an 8TB version this summer.

For reference, this site organizes the parameters of the SN850X 4TB version as follows:

Sequential read rate: 7300MB/s;

Sequential write Input rate: 6600MB/s;

Random read rate: 120K IOPS;

Random write rate: 110K IOPS.
