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

Great rated the fastest as of 2/21

My PS5 built in SSD filled up a while ago and so with a few Christmas games purchases on the horizon I decided to expand my PS5 storage. Sony specifies the dimensions of the M.2 and more importantly the speed the drives need to be to be compatible with the PS5, needing to reach speeds in excess of 5500MB/s. This drive claims 7000, although when installed the PS5 said I was getting 6700MB/s - close enough. Installation was a breeze, but remember you do need a heatsink which I purchased separately. All my games transferred without a hitch and the new drive is performing flawlessly. Recommended for those who need super fast storage - works great with the PS5 - and the 1TB seems to be a sweet spot for value for money.

The SSD was Delivered Feb 8, 2021 I installed it like 5min. after it came in been running ever scene...... That just shows how good the M.2 SSD is my Desktop runs 24/7 and this is my main Windows 10 Pro drive...... I have Benchmark with my setup and with my Registry Tweaks to Windows...

Quality Ssd, recently installed to my PS5 and paired with the Elecgear heatsink. Quality combination. Speeds are as fast as expected.

To get more storage.

I am using it for a month and it is fast and not so hot (about 55 C). Very happy to purchase it.

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

Getting similar numbers to TweakTowns review. Great for gaming, programming, and content creation. Its noticeably faster than the HP EX950 I just replaced, which was already pretty dang fast.

Bought it and installed it inside my PS5 with some random $10 heatsink. Its reaches well above the minimum requirements speed that Sony states is needed to work with the PS5. Transferring games to the drive was quick and easy. Playing games off this drives feels exactly the same as playing games off the PS5 storage. Highly recommend this drive. Make sure to get a heatsink if youre unable to get the one that comes with one preinstalled.
