The 30-Second Version
Enterprise speed and capacity trapped in a connector your motherboard has never heard of. Buy this only if your server room is missing a drive, not your gaming PC.
Pros & Cons
Pluspunten
- Massive 1.92TB capacity in a single drive 100th
- Blazing sequential speeds, near the top of our charts 94th
- 5-year warranty with enterprise-grade reliability 72nd
- U.2 form factor is great for dense server builds
Minpunten
- U.2 connector won't fit any normal consumer motherboard
- Priced like enterprise hardware, because it is
- Random performance is just average
- Zero customer reviews, so you're flying blind
De feiten
Performance
The speed numbers are legitimately impressive. This drive sits in the 94th percentile for speed, which puts it among the best PCIe 5.0 drives we've tested. But here's the catch: that speed is tuned for sustained enterprise workloads, not bursty desktop tasks. Random performance is just middle of the pack at 62nd percentile, which is where everyday snappiness actually comes from. The 1.92TB capacity is top of the charts, no argument there.

vs Competition
Against consumer drives like the Kingston FURY Renegade or Western Digital Black SN850X, the D7-PS1010 wins on raw capacity and sequential speed but loses everywhere else that matters for normal use. The Samsung 9100 PRO and Crucial T710 both offer better random performance and actually plug into a standard M.2 slot. The SN850X is a far smarter buy for gamers, and the FURY Renegade gives you similar speed without needing a U.2 adapter.

Prijs
Value & Pricing
At roughly $1,900 to $1,977 USD, this is a terrible value for anyone building a gaming PC or workstation. You're paying enterprise tax for features you'll never use. The affordability percentile is 3rd, which means almost everything else we've tested costs less. If you're not running a data center, you're burning money.

Overview
The Solidigm D7-PS1010 is an enterprise U.2 drive that accidentally wandered into a consumer store listing. It's built for servers, not gaming rigs, and the scores make that painfully clear. This thing is a capacity monster with serious speed, but it's about as practical for a home PC as a forklift in a grocery store parking lot.
Common Questions
Q: Will this work in my gaming PC?
Almost certainly not. It uses a U.2 connector, which requires an adapter or a motherboard with a U.2 port. Most consumer boards don't have one. You'd need a PCIe to U.2 adapter card, and even then you're paying for enterprise features you won't use.
Q: Is this faster than a Samsung 9100 PRO?
For sequential reads and writes, yes, it's near the top of our charts. But for random operations, which is what makes a PC feel snappy, it's just average. The 9100 PRO will feel faster in everyday use.
Q: Why is this so expensive?
Because it's an enterprise drive. You're paying for sustained write endurance, power-loss protection, and a form factor designed for hot-swap server bays. None of that matters for a home PC, but it costs real money to build.
Who Should Skip This
If you're building a gaming rig, a workstation, or just upgrading your laptop, this isn't it. Go grab a Western Digital Black SN850X or a Crucial T710 instead. You'll get better real-world performance, a connector that actually fits, and you'll save a pile of cash.
Verdict
Skip this unless you're speccing out a server rack. The D7-PS1010 is a specialized tool for a specialized job, and that job is not your desktop. For the same money you could buy a top-tier consumer 4TB drive and still have cash left for a new GPU.
