SUMMARY

The Biwin Black Opal NV7400 2TB PCIe Gen4 M.2 NVMe SSD offers good gaming performance, both in 3DMark Storage testing, and game load times. The Black Opal line is geared for gamers, and the Biwin Black Opal NV7400 2TB PCIe Gen4 M.2 NVMe SSD will work nicely in your enthusiast DIY gaming build, or consumer device. It provides top-end sequential read and write performance, with great random queue depth performance, with one weakness in random lower-queue depth performance. It also has a weakness in latency and access time, making it not the best for small workloads, but can still function well for content creation if needed. Overall, it's a solid package that for the right price, will be a good value.
