WDS800T2X0E WD WD_Black SN850X WDS800T2X0E 8TB PCIe Gen 4 M.2 2280 SSD

High-Performance M.2 NVMe SSD featuring PCIe Gen4 x4 throughput with the WDS800T2X0E

The WDS800T2X0E is an 8TB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD engineered to deliver low-latency local storage over a PCIe Gen4 x4 link, making it a strong fit for workstation-class platforms and compact server nodes that need predictable IO under mixed read/write pressure. With TLC NAND and an onboard 2GB DRAM cache supported by SLC caching, the drive is optimized to sustain high queue-depth performance for parallel pipelines rather than only short burst activity.

In single-socket server and high-end desktop architectures, the WDS800T2X0E complements modern CPU platforms by keeping active datasets close to the compute complex, reducing dependency on shared storage for hot tiers. It supports sequential throughput up to 7,200 MB/s read and 6,600 MB/s write, and up to 1.2M IOPS 4K read/write for metadata-heavy workloads, while endurance is rated at 4,800 TBW (0.329 DWPD) for balanced write-intense usage. Security alignment is addressed through Self-Encrypting Drive capabilities with TCG Opal 2.01 and AES-256 hardware encryption, supporting enterprise policies for data-at-rest protection.

Why Choose the WDS800T2X0E?

The WDS800T2X0E provides a high density-to-performance profile in a standard M-Key M.2 2280 footprint, enabling scalable NVMe tiers in space-constrained systems without sacrificing PCIe Gen4 responsiveness. For IT teams, it offers a clear deployment logic: accelerate OS, applications, and active datasets locally while maintaining controllable endurance and hardware-based encryption for operational consistency.

WD designs storage with a focus on controller/firmware integration, validation discipline, and long-life reliability targets that align with modern data centre standards for maintainability, security governance, and predictable performance behavior across supported platforms.

Key Applications:

• Workstation OS and application acceleration
• Large project scratch and build caches
• Local NVMe tier for databases
