WESTERN DIGITAL SSD - WD Green SN3000 NVMe - 500GB - PCIe Gen4 x4 - M.2 2280

WD Green SN3000 NVMe SSD in a slim M.2 2280 form factor delivers high-capacity solid-state storage for laptops and small PCs. With PCIe Gen4 interface and read speeds up to 5,000 MB/s, this 512 GB drive provides faster boot times, quick application launches, and improved responsiveness for multitasking. Built with QLC 3D NAND and Western Digital technologies, the SN3000 balances capacity and performance while offering compatibility with thin systems. The drive is backed by a 3-year limited warranty and can be migrated to using Acronis True Image for Western Digital.

Advantages

The SN3000 offers PCIe Gen4 performance in a single-sided M.2 2280 module, combining high sequential read speeds (up to 5,000 MB/s) and solid write performance (up to 4,200 MB/s) with up to 512 GB of storage capacity. Its compact, single-sided design ensures compatibility with thin laptops and small form-factor PCs. Integrated Western Digital features such as nCache 4.0 improve sustained performance and overall responsiveness, and the included Acronis migration software simplifies data transfer.

Suitable for

• Upgrading laptop or small desktop storage to increase capacity

How to use

Install the M.2 2280 SSD into an available M.2 PCIe Gen4 slot on your laptop or desktop motherboard, secure it with the mounting screw and ensure the system BIOS recognizes the drive. Initialize and format the SSD in your operating system or use the supplied Acronis True Image for Western Digital to migrate data from an existing drive. For best results, use a PCIe Gen4-capable slot to achieve advertised speeds; the drive is backward compatible with PCIe Gen3 but performance will be reduced.

Recommendations

Use the WD Green SN3000 in thin laptops and small PCs that accept single-sided M.2 2280 drives. For optimal performance, connect to a PCIe Gen4 x4 slot and keep firmware updated via Western Digital tools. Regular backups and following the drive’s warranty terms are recommended to protect data.
