WD Black SN770M WDBDNH0020BBK-WRSN - SSD - 2 TB - internal - M.2 2230 - PCIe 4.0 x4 (NVMe)

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The WD Black SN770M is one of those “it depends” SSDs. The fact it’s built for the 2230 slot format means it’s a good-value, no-drama option if you’ve actually got a device that takes 2230 (commonly newer handhelds/laptops/embedded-type builds). In that situation, the performance you get on PCIe 4.0 is more than fast enough for day-to-day work—boot times, app loading, and large file copies won’t feel like a bottleneck, and it’s priced like a premium drive without going into silly money.

I wouldn’t buy it for a normal 2280 desktop/laptop upgrade—there are cheaper drives that fit better and tend to offer similar real-world speed. At £484.49 ex-VAT for 2TB, the price is the sticking point: you’re paying for the niche form factor. If your client specifically needs 2230, it’s a solid pick. If they don’t, I’d steer them toward a more standard-sized WD Black/other reputable PCIe 4.0 2TB options and save the budget.
