The Biwin Black Opal X570 Pro is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched in March 2025. It is available in capacities ranging from 1 TB to 4 TB. This page reports specifications for the 4 TB variant. With the rest of the system, the Biwin Black Opal X570 Pro interfaces using a PCI-Express 5.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the SM2508 from Silicon Motion, a DRAM cache chip is available. Biwin has installed 232-layer TLC NAND flash on the Black Opal X570 Pro, the flash chips are made by Micron. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are soaked up more quickly. Thanks to support for the fast PCI-Express 5.0 interface, performance is excellent. The Black Opal X570 Pro is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 14,000 MB/s and 13,000 MB/s write; random IOPS reach up to 2000K for reads and 1600K for writes.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 572 USD. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. Biwin guarantees an endurance rating of 3000 TBW, a typical value for consumer SSDs.
