WD_BLACK 2TB SN850X NVMe Internal Gaming SSD Solid State Drive with Heatsink - Works with Playstation 5, Gen4 PCIe, M.2 2280, Up to 7,300 MB/s - WDS200T2XHE

Very good Was easy to install would defiently recommend

So Ive looked at reviews on YouTube and compared SSDs like the Samsung 980 Pro and Seagate Firecuda from their performance and heating, and the Firecuda wins it overall, BUT fails on the pricing. Plus the speed on these drivers are VERY minimal, and even though the WD Black supposedly can get a bit warmer, it aint anything for you to even worry about at all. Why would I want to spend on a Seagate Firecuda 2TB M.2 SSD for $360 when I can save $60 or more on the WD BLACK 2TB M.2 SSD? It is still really fast regardless, and people never really had any issues with the WD Black as it has been out longer. It is also the 1st SSD that Sony recommended people to get for the PS5. Western Digital also offers a 5 year warranty on the SSD, just like the others.

WD_BLACK, or the sea gate firecuda 530 are the top 2 choices out there right now (IMO from a few days of comparing a handful of drives. I went with the SN850X, and glad I did. On B&H photo, you can get it for 180 w/free shipping. Can’t beat that. I installed and formatted it in under 5 minutes. I transferred 350+ GB’s from console storage to expansion also in under 5 minutes. The games are running and loading fast and crispy! Just pull the trigger already, you know you need it.

The Item is great. Be careful who you buy it from as there appears to be a scammer selling this item for way below the asking price and they caught me out the first time. They are currently selling this item for £200. Dont do it

Spedizione veloce, imballaggio molto curato, prodotto top. Un po’ troppo caro

I ordered this as an upgrade to a 1.0TB Sabrent Rocket 4.0 (that still works, but I wanted more capacity + the SN850X is a newer/better performing unit).

Fast and reliable. I also like the WD software to monitor drive health and update firmware.

Returned unopened to exchange for the WD Blue SN570 after learning that performance increase is virtually unnoticeable over 3500 Mbps, which the Blue SN570 does with ease. YouTube reviewers also claim that these faster drives run hotter and have been known to reach 90 to 100, probably not something you want close to your mainboard.

Just make sure you insert it at about a 30 degree angle. If you insert at a shallow angle, like 10 degrees, it clicks, but won’t be recognized. It needs the steeper angle. Once installed, it phenomenal.

Not as good or fast as the XPG 4TB.
