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

I selected the WD_BLACK SN850X 1TB as my primary drive with my new build. Western Digital advertises read speeds of up to 7,300MB/s. Ive tested and attached screenshot of CrystalDiskMark results after filling the drive to 29% capacity, Im extremely pleased to see read speeds of 7,235MB/s, and write speeds of 6260MB/s. The WD Dashboard software presents your drive(s) health, temps, and more in easy to understand way. Get one of these and you wont be disappointed.

Received my order a week early - I know thats as much about the carrier as the seller, but still, I appreciate them filling it immediately. :) I was REALLY nervous about opening up my PS5 because while Im not a total computer-phobe, Im not that handy. But, after reading that games cannot be played natively from external storage on PS5, I just felt like I had to give it a go. This product could not be simpler to install. Plenty of helpful videos on YouTube. The cover of the PS5 is not as hard to take off as I feared, theres already a heatsink attached, and this is really about as close to plug and play as you can get for internal. Very happy!

Transferring games are fast and the performance great as well and heat sink good as well. Wish price was little more cheaper for 2TB and cheaper options for other higher TB

Perfect! For PS5

This was my first ssd I ever buy and I’m loving it so far I have moved all my games onto it and I still have a lot of space left, i went with the 2tb because it’s so good for it’s price, it was super easy to do as well !

This drive would stop being recognized in the BIOS twice, even with the latest BIOS update for the B450 chipset. Don’t waste your money on this as you’re playing Russian roulette with your money.

Took me 2 minutes to install it on my ps5 and it works beautifully.

Bought this to upgrade the storage on my PS5. Installation was easy and the system had no issues reading the drive and formatting it. You get the full capacity advertised on the drive for storage, no space is reserved for system usage or anything. The drive speed is phenomenal and well beyond the recommended specs set by Sony. Easily the best SSD on the market right now and is a must purchase for any PS5 user.

So I went with this after researchig the best drive for a PS5. Ordered a separate heat sink which was pretty cheap. After installing the heat sink, and watching several how-to YouTube tutorials, I installed it and its been working fine. (I highly recommend watching installation vids, its simple enough but some screw removal can be tricky) Also due to shortages of chips, processors and who knows what else in the PC/gamer world, the price inflation on these is a bit high. SSDs arent cheap to begin with, but Ive been seeing prices rise, especially on the actual WD website so thats my only negative comment. If you can find it at a decent price, snag it because a week later I guarantee it wont be that same price again.

I consider WD SN850 one of the best for its its price works perfectly on my PS5 and laptop
