WD Black SN850X 2TB SSD M.2 2280 NVME PCI-E Gen4 Solid State Drive with Heatsink

I upgraded to the WD Black SN850X 1TB with Heatsink for my gaming pc after my ssd died, and it has exceeded every expectation. Installation was a breeze — it slotted perfectly into my motherboard's M.2 slot, and the built-in heatsink saved me the hassle of having to reuse the one i already had and made installing it easier The speed is incredible. Boot times are almost instant, and games load fast AF. I’ve also noticed smoother performance although thats probably due to having a fresh windows install. The heatsink does a fantastic job — even under heavy load, temps stay well within safe limits. It’s also PlayStation 5 compatible, so this would be a great option if you're looking to expand your PS5 storage with something fast and reliable. although i dont own one so cant comment on anything about that If you want top-tier performance with excellent thermal control, this drive is worth every penny. Highly recommended!

I installed the WD Black SN850X 2TB NVMe as an upgrade expecting a noticeable jump in speed. On paper it’s extremely fast, with advertised read speeds up to around 7,300 MB/s on PCIe 4.0 x4, which puts it right at the top end of Gen4 SSDs. Installation was straightforward and the drive works perfectly. The system recognised it instantly and it performs exactly as expected. That said, incompared to other NVMe drives running in PCIe 4x4 mode. Boot times, program launches, and general desktop use all feel very similar to other decent NVMe SSDs. Where this drive really shines is in benchmarks and large file transfers, where the higher sequential speeds can actually be used. For normal daily use and gaming though, the difference isn’t as dramatic as the specs might suggest. Build quality is excellent, reliability seems solid so far, and it’s clearly a very capable high-end drive. Overall: a very fast SSD and a great upgrade if you want top-tier Gen4 performance — just don’t expect everyday tasks to suddenly feel dramatically faster.

Bought for PS5 memory expansion, it's brilliant, easy to install and runs perfectly after being in for a couple months now, super fast compared to my old external device

Really easy to install on a PS5 (can't speak for anything else). PS5 Cover off (which just pulls off), one screw to remove SSD cover, 1 screw to remove 'spacer', clip SSD into place, slide spacer in to ensure a good tight fit, do up screw, replace SSD cover and tighten screw, refit PS5 cover (which snaps on) - turn on PS5 and select Format when prompted - play PS5 - simple. PS5 (mine is the 1TB Slim version with Blu-Ray) is a little annoying in that I had a PS4 Pro (1TB) - so, you think - great have a 1TB, so everything will fit on the new PS5 1TB - NO, because the system software is much bigger - you only have about 730GB to play with. Also, if (as many do), you have an external hard drive on your PS4 - be aware YOU CANNOT PLAY GAMES FROM THAT ! - it needs to be on an SSD - either the one you get with the PS5, or with one that you add. You can only store games on the external drive, not play them. So, buy one of these SSD's, they're great, reasonably priced, fast, and gives you loads more space. Just buy one!

Game changer, literally! I was debating just buying a new 1TB PS as I tried an external storage option but wasn't satisfied. Then I found this with great reviews. I am so glad I got it and saved so much money. It was so easy to install. Note: this is an internal ssd but don't be out off. Google installation but you only need to unclip the cover and remove 2 screws. Plug in ssd and put the screws back in. Then format it when prompted and BOOM! Takes a few minutes and you have yourself a full storage upgrade. All my games play seamlessly with no issues at all. I don't often write reviews but this was definitely deserving of 5 stars.

Got this for a fantastic price on Prime Day. I was not sure how this would behave in an old '2013' Mac Pro (via a cheap tiny adaptor) — some NVME's will part-work, but for some reason MacOS can't boot from them ...no such worries here thankfully! I am getting slightly faster — and certainly more consistent — write-speeds with this NVMe storage when compared to the old Apple storage that originally came with my Mac ...and at a decent 1TB it has quadruple the capacity of the old stock apple stick. The built-in heat sink seems decent — if you have room for a heatsink I would always opt use one. The OS seems slightly 'nippier' to when using this storage. I also have Windows 10 on a partition on this stick, and that too seems to run without issue. If this goes on 'sale' again (for £75 or less) then I would highly recommend it.

Excelente

I had studied a lot options and this was top choice for obvious reasons. The metrics and performance are as described and this is obviously better than the version officially recommended for PS5. Take this and you'll always smile 😍

ممتاز جدا و يعمل بشكل ممتاز مع PS 5
