Source: sandisk.com (verified 2026-07-10) · corroborated by newegg.com. Official Sandisk WD_BLACK P40 product page (source), 1TB config WDBAWY0010BBK-WESN spec table: Capacity 1TB, Connector USB-C, Sequential Read Performance 2000MB/s, Sequential Write Performance 2000MB/s, Interface "USB 3.2 Gen 2 x2", Weight 78.5gms, Dimensions 4.21" x 2" x 0.51", 5-Year Limited Warranty; drop resistance up to two meters. No IP rating and no hardware encryption are listed. Newegg (corroboration) confirms the same 1TB SKU WDBAWY0010BBK-WESN: Interface "USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, Type-C", Max Sequential Read/Write "Up to 2000 MBps", Weight 0.17 lb, dimensions Depth 4.21" x Width 2.00" x Height 0.51", with no IP rating or encryption stated. capacity_gb=1000 from verbatim "1TB". Interface recorded as "USB 3.2 Gen 2x2" (verbatim from both pages); the earlier "(20 Gbps)" annotation was REMOVED on adversarial re-verification because the string "20 Gbps" appears nowhere in either fetched page (it is the USB-IF rating of that standard, an inference, not verbatim). Neither fetched page states a product release date (Newegg's "First Listed on Newegg August 31, 2024" is a listing date, not a launch date) nor a renderable US price, so releaseDate and priceUsd are left null.
