These speeds are supported on the 500GB and 1TB models, which the company claims are up to five times faster than its best SATA SSD drives.

The company also has inbuilt support for its SSD Dashboard tool which can be downloaded by users to monitor their drive vitals, such as available space, temperature, drive health and other metrics. Customers will also be offered a one-month subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud with each new purchase of WD Blue SN570, according to the company.
