WD Black SN770 NVMe SSD – Internal M.2 Drive for Gaming PCs and Laptops

Name: WD Black SN770 NVMe SSD – Internal M.2 Drive for Gaming PCs and Laptops
Brand: Western Digital

Western Digital · Storage

The SN770 is Western Digital's gaming-oriented NVMe drive: an M.2 stick that slots directly onto a motherboard or into a laptop's drive bay, with no cables and no drive caddy. NVMe drives are the reason modern games load in seconds rather than minutes, and the SN770 targets that use case specifically.

Before buying, check what your machine takes — M.2 length, and whether the slot is PCIe. If your PC or laptop only has a 2.5in SATA bay, the Crucial MX500 is the drive that fits; if you want capacity on a budget, the Crucial P3 is the value NVMe option.
