In recent years, the way we work, learn, play and live has changed significantly. For many of us, the home office has become a new norm and educational institutions have also adapted to a more digitised environment. In addition, we have seen an unprecedented growth of online content – be it on social media, streaming platforms – and games with triple-A titles getting bigger and bigger. In this hybrid world, no PC or gaming console should be without an NVMe SSD. This is not only because we all need to securely store our most valuable files in a proper, internal storage drive, but also because you would be missing out on the speeds that an NVMe drive can offer.

Recognising the wide variety of storage needs, Western Digital offers a full colour spectrum of award-winning NVMe SSDs to suit every budget, capacity, workflow, and platform.

WD Blue – Boost your PC, notebook or desktop

For content creators and creatives that work with larger files and more complex workflows, the WD Blue range offers a substantial performance boost, low power for remote and mobile use, as well as reliability and extra capacity.

With supercharged read speeds of up to 4,150 MB/s[1], the sleek drive keeps you in the zone with high responsiveness for multitasking and low power storage to maximise battery life.

WD Red – Robust performance in Network-attached environments

Capable of handling even the most intense network-attached storage (NAS) environments with exceptional performance and responsiveness, the WD Red range of NVMe SSDs tackle extreme workloads and multi-user environments with ease.

The WD Red SN700 NVMe SSD offers capacities up to 4TB1 while the super-endurable drive is purpose-built and tested to be compatible with many popular NAS systems. Its efficient caching tames your SMB’s toughest projects with fast file access and it’s backed with a 5-year warranty[2].
