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 wanted to like this drive, a heat sink for anything electronic should be win/win. But, this unit is HUGE! It won’t fit all the way down in its mounting bay of my ASUS ROG 17” notebook’s NVMe bay (see pics). It may fit in a desktop slot but there may be size issues there as well, this thing is bigger than standard drives in all respects except for the length. The performance is great, no argument there at all. But trying to get this to fit in the M.2 bay causes the unit to bend up in the middle way too much. It is impossible to put the shield/cover on top of this beast and it causes the bottom main cover to bulge out. My OEM M.2 boot drive has no heat sink but I never saw it show up in HW Monitor as overheating. So, back it goes and I’ll get a few $s back to go with the size reduction. Hopefully 2 drives in the small enclosed M.2 drive won’t cause heat issues as I feared, there is no way for any air to circulate throughout the little enclosure.

Very useful and very user friendly, love the storage and ease of use. Dummy proof.

Only took me about 5 minutes to install. Now Ive got plenty of space on my ps5.definitely a happy customer.

Just received and swapped with my previous Samsung 980 Pro 1TB from my ps5 with this one. I was thinking about getting Samsung 990 Pro with heat sink but price is still pretty high and rare at this time.. After reading 990 has speed of 7450 MB compare to this WD SN850X at 7300. I jump into this WD 850X . The box is little different and so orange mark on top of SSD as described in Amazon. But all specs are there. Happy to get 2TB for the price I used to pay for 1TB version. Price are coming down. So far my decision was a good one. After install and format, I got 6750 MB in Ps5. Which is highest. Previous Samsung 980 pro got around 6450 MB. Installation was no brainer. I transferred 572 GB of games under 17 minutes. Which is another WoW factor. So far games loads quickly and play pretty smooth and well. After setting my M.2 has designated drive for all games, all done. No more deleting games for space.

Worked right away, have no issues storing my PS5 games on there and playing the games right off the SSD. Got it for Christmas and never had any issues. Great price too!

Dead on arrival, PS5 didn’t detect it

Won’t get to try until the damn Update drops for my PS5

Facil de instalar en mi ps5

S’installe très facilement.

Found a quick video on YouTube and installed and working in under 10 minutes. We cant tell the difference between the hard drive or this external storage. Super fast and seems reliable.
