Introduction 2 Introduction This product manual describes the functional, mechanical, and interface specifications for the WD Blue™ 3D NAND SATA SSD (solid-state drive). General Description The WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD delivers high performance and reliability with low power consumption in large capacities.
Introduction ◦ M.2 2280 is single-sided for all capacities ▪ Interface to Host ◦ SATA III 6Gb/s (rev. 3.2) compliant ◦ Backwards compatible with SATA II 3Gb/s and SATA I 1.
Introduction Functional Description The WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD supports the following features: ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ Support for multi-stream – improves user experience in multitasking systems Support for TRIM command – sustains drive’s high performance over time Minimal write amplification – increases endurance and performance Tiered caching, including use of allocated SLC blocks Support for ATA register and command set (ATA-8/ACS-4 standard) SMART feature support Error recovery using Error Correction Cod
Introduction Bad Block Management Bad blocks are occasionally created during the life cycle of a flash component. These bad blocks must be marked and replaced dynamically in order to prevent read/write failures. When a bad block is detected, the embedded Bad Block Mapping algorithm removes the block from future use.
Introduction The device can enter in to the SATA Partial and Slumber low-power modes through DIPM. In DIPM, the device sends a request to the host to enter into Slumber mode upon completion of any command. The device also supports the SATA Device Sleep (DEVSLP) mode. For more information, refer to the SATA revision 3.2 specification available at www.t13.
General Product Specifications 3 General Product Specifications Interface The device interface complies with the Serial ATA standard published by ANSI. It complies with the SATA 6Gb/s (rev. 3.2) specification and supports ATA-8 Command Set ACS-4. It is also backwards compatible with SATA 3Gb/s (rev. 2.0) and SATA 1.5Gb/s (rev. 1.0). For more information, refer to the American National Standard X3.221: AT Attachment for Interface for Disk Drives document.

Thermal Throttling 6 Thermal Throttling To protect the integrity of the data and prevent excessive heat dissipation, the X600 3D NAND SATA SSD uses an integrated thermal sensor in the NAND to monitor its critical component temperature. If the sensor temperature rises above the allowable limit, system performance is throttled until the temperature decreases to an acceptable level. The X600 returns to full performance when the temperature returns to a normal range.
Endurance 7 Endurance The endurance (longevity) of the WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD is calculated using JEDEC client workload (JESD219). Endurance is a direct function of user workload and access pattern. Defined in terms of terabytes written (TBW), endurance represents the amount of data that can be written to the WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD during the WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD lifetime and varies by product capacity. Refer to the table below.
