TLC-based drives are nevertheless at a disadvantage compared to MLC-based drives, as transfer rates will deteriorate once the cache is full. It also has a DRAM cache buffer (DDR4) to further improve sustained speed. The WD Black 2018 implements a type of tiered caching called nCache 3.0, which includes an undisclosed amount of SLC (single-level cell) NAND, to improve performance. Since TLC is slower than higher-end MLC (multi-level cell) chips, a fast cache is used to speed up write transfer rates in particular. Similar modules are used in other popular solid state drives from the same category, such as the HP EX920 and Adata’s SX8200 Pro. This is the most common Flash memory type in consumer SSDs as of 2018/2019. Unlike its predecessor, which didn’t use 3D (layered) NAND, the WD Black 2018 uses 64-layer TLC (triple-level cell) modules from SanDisk. And to make matters more confusing still, SanDisk already has a SATA SSD on the market with the same name. There’s also another SSD that is identical to this one, but sold under the name SanDisk Extreme Pro (SanDisk is now owned by Western Digital).

The WD Black listed here, released in 2018, is however much faster than its 2017 counterpart. One of the unfortunate results of this strategy is that this M.2 PCIe x4 NVMe SSD has the same name as its predecessor. WD Black is a trademark used by Western Digital to signify its high-end lineup of storage devices. Update: A newer model of this drive is now available, see our page on the WD Black SN750 for more information.
