WD_BLACK 1TB SN850 NVMe Internal Gaming SSD Solid State Drive - Gen4 PCIe, M.2 2280, 3D NAND, Up to 7,000 MB/s - WDS100T1X0E

I bought this for my PS5 Digital version. I looked on YouTube for reviews before purchase and this came across as a solid investment. The speeds are on the higher side of those out there and it is a Gen 4 with heatsink. I caught this on sale during Amazon Day and wow was it a great deal. First off are the speeds. There is enormous difference between Gen 3 and 4 and I guess that’s why Sony made that requirement. I had almost 300 GB of games on initial hard drive, and it transferred to the new drive in less than 2 minutes(insanely fast). The new Gen 4 drives are fast, but they do get hot so spend a little extra for the heatsink version. Extremely easy to install and I can see nothing at fault with this investment. Great price point with impressive performance makes this on the better drives out there. The last thing that does not get talked about enough is that this fits the Disc and Digital version PS5. There are Brands out there that make drives just for the PS5, but they only fit the DISC version. You cannot go wrong with this one since it fits both versions plus PC builds even with the heatsink. Great investment.

Habe die mir zum prime Day gegönnt und für den damaligen Preis eine sehr gute Entscheidung.

I have had several types and brands of drives in my computers over the decades. In all cases, Western Digital has proven to do as claimed and be reliable. I installed this SSD, and a Sabrent Rocket NVMe Gen 4 1T, using the two slots on an X570 motherboard, so the tests results are probably a fair comparison. The Sabrent started out as very impressive, hitting numbers close to as advertised, but has developed a problem with slow write speeds -- ironic given its superior write performance when new. (I need to try different drivers and re-format to see if write speeds will recover.) Meantime, I bought this WD, and its proving to be excellent. File transfers show an impressive, sustained speed throughout the transfer. Ive included screen shots of tests done when the Sabrent, new and now, and two recent tests on the WD. Ive had dozens of drives over the years, and Ive concluded that WD is the most reliable. The only time a WD drive has failed it was my fault -- those 10 000 rpm Raptors needed aggressive cooling, which I failed to provide. FWIW, both these NVMe drives were installed with heat sinks.

Just go for it without thinking twice….. better than Samsung 980Pri

Good price and easy to install just remember to get a heat sink.

works great

Upgraded from a WD Blue 250 GB SSD to the WD Black 1TB and the increase in speed is very nice. Definitely noticed the increase of speed of my OS startup and loading of apps and games.

Added an aftermarket heatsink. Install was easy for my PS5. Works great. Super fast.

It is the best SSD I have had so far and a great product for its price. It is very fast as was reported by several independent benchmarks.

I bought this to my PS5, works great
