...the WD Black SN750 rightfully takes its place at the premium PCIe x4 NVMe table, at least for now.
WD is now building compelling high-performance client SSDs by moving all aspects of production and design in-house. The reviewed SN750 is a good case in point, using ostensibly the same hardware as last year's IoT-focussed SN720 but improving general performance via firmware updates.
The headline speed numbers stack up well against the competition, there's security in knowing that WD, being a very large storage specialist, is likely to offer excellent support, and so the WD Black SN750 rightfully takes its place at the premium PCIe x4 NVMe table, at least for now.
That said, it's still a TLC-based NAND drive whose endurance, while decent in isolation, is nowhere near as robust as the Corsair MP510, and the fact that performance is so similar to the 2018 model means that drives featuring other controller vendors, such as the very speedy Silicon Motion (SM2262EN), may leapfrog the WD's performance in the near future.
Bottom line: a solid, no-nonsense premium client SSD from an established brand representing a safe go-to solution for your next PC upgrade.
