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

SONY really crushed it with the ease of install this time around. Installation was easy and this SSD is FAST!!!

Very easy to instal in Ps5 bay. Plenty of room for air to move through with the cover on. Solid heatsink and shows a FULL Terabyte of storage. Easily as fast as the internal ssd of the Ps5. At least as far as I can see.

This SSD at least for this capacity would make for a very fast boot drive or spare drive for games. With the direct storage API coming to DX12 soon these drives are a must for lightning fast load times and texture streaming. This drive will probably be one of like 2 or 3 drives approved out of what is out so far to work with the PS5 as well, though that feature at the time of writing has yet to be implemented. To take advantage of the speed of this drive you will need either a B550 or x570 motherboard for AMD processors or a Z590 motherboard for 11th gen Intel processors. The speed is comparable to Samsungs 980 Pro and is currently much faster than like 90% of current PCIE gen 4 drives most of which cap out around 4-5k write speed where as this is more like 7k write. Overall these drives are future facing as they will be what is ideal for the PS5(whenever Sony decides to unlock this feature) and for the upcoming Direct Storage API which will bring PS5 speed load times and texture streaming to PC.

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

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.

Fue fácil si instalación, además que está bien elaborado. Funciona perfectamente no solo para juegos sino también para el sistema operativo dándole una velocidad inigualable, me a gustado mucho y lo recomiendo totalmente.

Very easy to install and setup. Works great and adds a ton of space!

Great buy for the PlayStation 5

I mounted this to a PCIe adapter card and installed it on a 2009 MOBO for first generation Intel core i7-920 CPU that did not have BIOS support for PCIe boot. I was able to used CLOVER to boot a new installation of Windows 10 Pro x64 but could not find anyway to boot after cloning my old SATA HDD. The solution was to clone SATA HDD to SATA SSD for startup and create a dedicated 16 GB partition on the SN850 for the swapfile. OFC that is just temporary until I get 2021 MOMO for i9 extreme
