¹ One MB is equal to one million bytes, one GB is equal to one billion bytes and one TB equals 1,000GB (one trillion bytes). Actual user capacity may be less due to operating environment.
² Test Conditions: Performance is based on the CrystalDiskMark 5.2.2 benchmark using a 1000MB LBA range ASUS Z170A desktop with Intel i7-6700K 4.0GHz, 8GB 2133MHz DDR4. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit using microsoft StorNVMe driver, secondary drive. Peformance may vary based on host device. 1MB = 1,000,000 bytes. IOPS = input/output operations per second.
³ TBW (terabytes written) values calculated using JEDEC client workload (JESD219) and vary by product capacity.
⁴ Measured using MobileMark 2014 on HP EliteBook X360 1030 G2 with i7-7600U, 8GB RAM. Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit RS3 using Microsoft StorNVMe driver, primary drive.
⁵ Power measurements are 25°C
⁶ MTTF = Mean Time To Failure based on internal tesing using Telcordia stress part testing. MTTF is based on a sample population and is estimated by statistical measurements and acceleration algorithms. MTTF does not predict an individual drive's reliability and does not constitute a warranty. (Telecordia SR-332, GB, 40°C).
⁷ Operational temperature as reported by device (composite temperature).
⁸ Non-operational storage temperature does not guarantee data retention.
⁹ 5 years or Max Endurance (TBW) limit, whichever occurs first. 5 year warranty in regions not recognizing "limited." http://support.wdc.com for more detials.
