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

Got this for my PS5 and am really happy with it.

Shipping was pretty quick. Ordered it on a Friday, arrived today- Tuesday, before I got home from work. Installation wasnt complicated. But you do need an extremely tiny screw driver, you a minute to find one. It booted right up to format and was ready instantly. Transferred a couple small games first and it was less than a minute. Then transferred remaining large games(365 GB) in less than 4 minutes. To compare with my old external 1TB drive it took 17 minutes for about 111 GB transfer. So Im pretty happy with the transfer speed, but I dont have to transfer back and forth to play or save now. So far load time on the games seemed faster than the factory hard drive. But then again I havent played very often. Very happy with the purchase just wished the 4 and 8 tb models were cheaper. But Ill find out how it performs more with time. Worth the money.

Works well on old boards.

Really slick, super fast, worlds better than the old USB HDD. Used it for my PS5 and couldnt have been any more straight forward.

Bought this when it was on sale half off and stuck it inside my PS5. Adding an extra 2 TB and having it load games wayyy faster is worth every penny! It was super easy to install just need to tear off the cover of the PS5 and use a tiny screw driver to take off the cover plate and install the M2. They recommend putting back on the cover plate but I left mine off because I feel like itd have a harder time cooling off with it on.

Installed it right after delivery. Had to switch existing ssd with empty slot around in order for Gigabyte mobo to recognize the new one.

So far it seems good. Read speeds of 6544. It was a little expensive at £250 for the heatsink version but can’t complaint for the 2TB storage amount and heatsink already being installed onto it. Was fiddly to install due to screws being very small, at least I had a screwdriver selection to change the head of the screwdriver otherwise I’d of had to buy another screwdriver. I’ve attached an image of the screwdriver piece I used.

There is an issue with this drive and AMD X570 chips that prevents it from getting the full advertised speed. Because of this it loses about 10-20% of its speed. Also, I had problem with it transferring files from this drive to my samsung 850 eveo ssd that I was trying to replace. The transfer would go as fast as the ssd would allow and then the transfer would halt for a few seconds and then resume. Wasnt thermal throttling because this would happen every few seconds from the start of the transfer and I didnt have any problems transferring to my 10k rpm drive. For anyone thinking that using one of these m.2 drives will increase your program or windows load times, well it doesnt. These are meant for transferring large files at fast speeds. I didnt have any other ssd brands to test this on so I dont know if it would have the same pausing issue with other brands.

Habe die 4TB-Variante zu einem unschlagbaren Preis von 364,99€ hier als Black Friday-Deal bekommen.

So I got this on sale for my PS5 and it works fantastic. Was easy to install. Just get very very very very careful you dont break any of your PS5 pegs/tabs on the case when you are popping it off. You need to slide it first. I suggest watching a few YouTube videos.
