BIWIN Black Opal NV7400 2TB SSD Gen4x4 - High-Speed NVMe Storage

In this review the BIWIN Black Opal NV7400 2TB SSD is evaluated as a high-performance NVMe drive aimed at power users who need fast storage for desktops, laptops, or PS5. The single biggest reason to consider it is its market-leading sequential read speed of up to 7450MB/s, which delivers noticeably snappier load times and large file transfers compared with typical SATA or older NVMe drives. The drive balances raw speed with thermal management and power efficiency, making it a practical choice for heavy workloads.

Key Features

• Blistering Read Performance: Maximum sequential read speed of 7450MB/s reduces wait times for large game loads, media projects, and file transfers.
• Fast Write Throughput: Up to 6500MB/s write speed supports rapid saving of large project files and fast installation of applications.
• PCIe Gen4x4 Interface: The PCIe Gen 4x4 connection and 3D TLC NAND provide superior bandwidth and reliability for modern platforms.
• Thermal and Power Management: Integrated PMIC and a 0.5mm graphene aluminum heat sink help keep the drive cool and efficient under sustained load.
• Enhanced Stability: Host Memory Buffer (HMB), Smart Cache, and Zip compression improve steady performance in demanding multitasking scenarios.
• Free Acronis Software: Acronis backup and cloning software is included, simplifying system migration or backups without buying extra software.

Who It's For

The NV7400 is best suited to power users, content creators, and gamers who need PCIe 4.0 level speeds and large capacity for video editing, virtual machines, or fast game libraries. It will noticeably improve responsiveness on systems that support Gen4 x4 lanes.

Those with older systems that do not support PCIe Gen4, or users who only need modest speed for web browsing and office tasks, should consider more affordable SATA or PCIe Gen3 drives; they will not see the full benefit of this drive's top speeds.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Outstanding sequential read speed up to 7450MB/s for rapid file access and game loads.
• Strong write performance and up to 1000K IOPS for demanding applications.
• Thermal management with PMIC and graphene aluminium heat sink keeps performance stable.
• Includes Acronis software for easy cloning and backup.

Cons

• Full Gen4 performance requires a compatible motherboard or console; older systems will not reach top speeds.
