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

Really fast load speeds perfect for PS5 overall nice pick for ps5

Bought for Ps5 internal hard drive expansion. Fits perfect easy to install.

Easy to fit

Easy to install if you look online and cooling unit included to keep from overheating.

Every thing was as described and was super easy to install. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to upgrade storage.

It is extremely fast that OS and games just load as fast as anyone would want. Usable for hackintosh macOS as the controller is not as complex as Samsung or Kingston drives.

Installation was needlessly frustrating because Western Digital didnt include the standardized 25 cent screw necessary to install the $400+tax drive! Because of that, a 5-minute install took me about an hour because I had to go to the hardware store and find the bits to make a 3-piece screw, then come back and spend 5 minutes installing it. The 3-piece screw was because my hardware store doesnt carry the standard M2 screw for motherboard installs, so I had to shorten and widen the only M2 screw they had with a nut and a washer.

I was debating between the SN850 and the Samsung Pro for my PS5 but after reading reviews, turns out some of the Samsung drives require a firmware update to get the faster download speeds and not having a desktop computer at home, updating the firmware would have been a PIA. Decided to go with the SN850 and its been great. The 2tb version was offered at great price and even though I dont have a ton of games at this point, Im sure it will eventually get filled up. The speeds are just as advertised and installation was a breeze. I paired the drive with a Sabrent NVME heatsink that was designed exclusively for the PS5 and everything is working just like it should. Definitely would recommend the combination of the two if youre thinking of extending your storage.

I got it for my PS5 to have all my games in one place and not on the console storage + external ssd.

Popped in ps5. Read speed said 6500 plus
