The BIWIN Black Opal X570 PRO 8TB M.2 NVMe PCIe 5.0 SSD delivers sequential read speeds of up to 14,000 MB/s and write speeds of up to 13,000 MB/s, combining massive storage capacity with the absolute limit of Gen5 bandwidth. This high-performance drive provides the throughput and space required for data-heavy professional applications.

Massive 8TB capacity for data-intensive professional workflows

With a massive 8TB capacity, this M.2 2280 drive eliminates the need to compromise between speed and storage volume. Large-scale projects like 8K video editing, complex 3D rendering, and massive database management can run entirely from a single local drive. This high capacity prevents the bottlenecks associated with transferring files to slower external storage arrays or secondary SATA drives.

Next-generation PCIe 5.0 bandwidth powered by a 6nm 5-core controller

At the heart of the drive is the Silicon Motion SM2508 controller, manufactured on an efficient 6nm process node. This 5-core controller architecture pairs ARM 32-bit Cortex-R8 and Cortex-M0 cores running at 1,250 MHz to manage heavy data queues without thermal throttling. Operating on the PCIe Gen5 x4 interface and NVMe 2.0 protocol, the drive achieves random read speeds of up to 2,000,000 IOPS and random write speeds of up to 1,600,000 IOPS. This level of IOPS performance ensures near-instantaneous file access and system responsiveness, even when handling millions of small, scattered files simultaneously.

Consistent write performance with a 1,600 GB SLC cache

To maintain high write speeds during massive file transfers, the drive utilises a dynamic 1,600 GB SLC cache. This large buffer allows the drive to absorb massive write bursts without dropping to native TLC speeds. Additionally, the drive features a dedicated DRAM cache to accelerate file mapping tables and 741.4 GB (10.0%) of dedicated overprovisioning. This overprovisioning space is reserved to optimise background garbage collection, reduce write amplification, and maintain long-term write performance over the lifespan of the drive.

Passive cooling via 0.5 mm graphene thermal pad

High-speed PCIe 5.0 SSDs generate significant heat under sustained workloads. The BIWIN Black Opal X570 PRO addresses this with a pre-applied 0.5 mm graphene thermal pad. Graphene offers high thermal conductivity in an ultra-thin form factor, transferring heat away from the controller and NAND chips to prevent thermal throttling. This slim design ensures compatibility with motherboard heatsinks and tight system clearances.

Enterprise-grade reliability with 6,000 TBW endurance

Built with Micron 232-layer 3D TLC NAND, this drive is designed for long-term endurance under heavy write cycles. It features an endurance rating of 6,000 TBW (Terabytes Written) and a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 1,500,000 hours, ensuring reliable operation over years of continuous use. This durability is backed by a 5-year warranty, ensuring long-term operational security for professional workstations.
