WDS480G2G0C WD Green SN350 480GB PCIe 3.0 M.2 2280 Consumer SSD

Efficient M.2 2280 NVMe SSD for PCIe Gen3 x4 boot and light workstation storage with the WDS480G2G0C

The WDS480G2G0C is a WD Green SN350 internal SSD designed for OS boot and responsive application storage in desktops, workstations, and small form factor systems where PCIe Gen3 NVMe provides a strong latency advantage over SATA. By using an M.2 2280 M-Key form factor, the WDS480G2G0C integrates cleanly into modern client and edge platforms with minimal cabling and predictable serviceability.

Architecturally, the WDS480G2G0C aligns with PCIe Gen3 x4 lanes to reduce queueing delays for read-biased workloads while keeping platform requirements conservative for broad motherboard compatibility. TLC NAND supported by an SLC caching layer helps sustain interactive bursts such as OS updates, application installs, and light scratch activity. With sequential performance up to 2400 MB/s read and 1650 MB/s write and random performance up to 250K/170K IOPS (4K), the WDS480G2G0C supports faster boot, lower application launch latency, and efficient content staging where write intensity is controlled. Endurance is specified at 60 TBW with 0.11 DWPD over 3 years, fitting low-write caching and general-purpose storage roles.

Why Choose the WDS480G2G0C?

The WDS480G2G0C delivers a practical density-to-performance ratio for fleet deployments that need NVMe responsiveness without moving to newer PCIe generations. For IT teams standardizing boot drives or read-centric edge appliances, the WDS480G2G0C offers a consistent, low-power profile and a scalable approach to refreshing systems while maintaining predictable endurance and reliability targets.

WD designs the WDS480G2G0C with a reliability-first focus suited to modern data centre and enterprise client standards, emphasizing stable controller behavior, qualification discipline, and clear lifecycle positioning for managed rollouts. With up to 1,000,000 hours MTBF and very low idle/active power draw, the WDS480G2G0C supports energy-aware configurations and thermally constrained chassis.

Key Applications:

• Client OS boot drives
• Application installs and software distribution
• Read-biased edge appliances
• Low-write caching tiers
