The value I received for my money is truly exceptional.In a nutshell, if you're a PS5 gamer looking to elevate your storage game, the WD_Black SN850X is the top-tier choice. And grabbing it for just £73.97 on sale? That was the cherry on top. It's swift, dependable, and an absolute steal at this price. I wholeheartedly recommend it!

I bought this for my 825gb ps5 since I needed extra storage. I had never installed anything like this before buying but it was really easy and YouTube tutorials also helped to install and mount it. I have never experienced any problems with it so I’d say it’s very good in terms of cooling and the read/write speeds are very good. I’d say the price is worth it especially if you need storage and don’t want to delete anything.

Works good. Easy to install. Lot of space for decent price

Really easy to install on a PS5 (can't speak for anything else). PS5 Cover off (which just pulls off), one screw to remove SSD cover, 1 screw to remove 'spacer', clip SSD into place, slide spacer in to ensure a good tight fit, do up screw, replace SSD cover and tighten screw, refit PS5 cover (which snaps on) - turn on PS5 and select Format when prompted - play PS5 - simple. PS5 (mine is the 1TB Slim version with Blu-Ray) is a little annoying in that I had a PS4 Pro (1TB) - so, you think - great have a 1TB, so everything will fit on the new PS5 1TB - NO, because the system software is much bigger - you only have about 730GB to play with. Also, if (as many do), you have an external hard drive on your PS4 - be aware YOU CANNOT PLAY GAMES FROM THAT ! - it needs to be on an SSD - either the one you get with the PS5, or with one that you add. You can only store games on the external drive, not play them. So, buy one of these SSD's, they're great, reasonably priced, fast, and gives you loads more space. Just buy one!

I’m extremely impressed with the WD Black SN850X 2TB NVMe SSD with Heatsink and would happily give it five stars. This drive delivers outstanding performance and has been a fantastic upgrade for my PC, providing incredibly fast loading times, smooth operation, and plenty of storage space for games, applications, and large files.Installation was straightforward, and the M.2 2280 form factor fits perfectly into compatible systems. The included heatsink is a great addition, helping with heat management during demanding tasks and giving extra confidence when using the drive for extended gaming sessions or heavy workloads. Once installed, the difference in speed compared with a traditional hard drive or older SSD was immediately noticeable.The read and write performance is excellent, making everything feel much more responsive, from launching games to transferring large files. The 2TB capacity is also ideal, offering enough room for a large game library and important software without constantly needing to manage storage space.The build quality feels premium, as expected from WD Black products, and the drive has performed reliably with no issues. Overall, the SN850X is a high-performance SSD that combines speed, capacity, and reliability in one excellent package.I would definitely recommend this SSD to gamers, content creators, or anyone looking to significantly improve their system performance. It is a superb upgrade and easily deserves five stars!

Got this for a fantastic price on Prime Day.I was not sure how this would behave in an old '2013' Mac Pro (via a cheap tiny adaptor) — some NVME's will part-work, but for some reason MacOS can't boot from them ...no such worries here thankfully!I am getting slightly faster — and certainly more consistent — write-speeds with this NVMe storage when compared to the old Apple storage that originally came with my Mac ...and at a decent 1TB it has quadruple the capacity of the old stock apple stick.The built-in heat sink seems decent — if you have room for a heatsink I would always opt use one.The OS seems slightly 'nippier' to when using this storage.I also have Windows 10 on a partition on this stick, and that too seems to run without issue.If this goes on 'sale' again (for £75 or less) then I would highly recommend it.

Amazing ! I installed this into my PS5 was easy to do, great value for money

I installed the WD Black SN850X 2TB NVMe as an upgrade expecting a noticeable jump in speed. On paper it’s extremely fast, with advertised read speeds up to around 7,300 MB/s on PCIe 4.0 x4, which puts it right at the top end of Gen4 SSDs.Installation was straightforward and the drive works perfectly. The system recognised it instantly and it performs exactly as expected.That said, incompared to other NVMe drives running in PCIe 4x4 mode. Boot times, program launches, and general desktop use all feel very similar to other decent NVMe SSDs.Where this drive really shines is in benchmarks and large file transfers, where the higher sequential speeds can actually be used. For normal daily use and gaming though, the difference isn’t as dramatic as the specs might suggest.Build quality is excellent, reliability seems solid so far, and it’s clearly a very capable high-end drive.Overall: a very fast SSD and a great upgrade if you want top-tier Gen4 performance — just don’t expect everyday tasks to suddenly feel dramatically faster.

Excelente

I had studied a lot options and this was top choice for obvious reasons. The metrics and performance are as described and this is obviously better than the version officially recommended for PS5.Take this and you'll always smile 😍

WD BLACK SN850X NVMe SSD 2TB WDS200T2XHE（ヒートシンク付)Crucial MX300 525GB(2016)から本製品の2TB（ヒートシンク付片面実装)にクローンして換装。使用中の温度は、MX300の25℃に対し45℃でした。（室温22℃にて)その後、吸気ケースファンの位置を下げたところ、MX300が23℃に、本製品は40℃となった。以下は概略手順（参考）①本製品をM/B※１のM.2_2スロットに取付ける※２。②ディスクの管理※３にて本製品をGPTフォーマットする。④クローンソフト※４にてMX300ドライブ(525GB)を本製品にクローン。⑤BIOSメニュー（再起動時にF2キー）にてブートドライブを本製品に変更する。※１：H370-PRO　GAMING(WI-FI)※2:M/B付属の六角ポスト及び取付ビスを使用する。六角ポストによりM/BからSSD背面が浮くため、両面実装のM.2SSDや大型ヒートシンクも取付可能と推察する。※３：Winマークを右クリックしてディスクの管理が選択できる。なお、OSがWin 10 homeのため、CドライブのBitLocker(暗号化)の解除は不要であった。※４：Macrium Reflect8の30日無料トライアル版MX300ドライブは、1-回復(450.0MB)、2-NO NAME(100.0MB)、3-書式なし(16.0MB)、4-(C)(487.94GB)、5-なし(563.0MB)の順だったが、1-回復、2-NO NAME、3-書式なし、5-なし、4-(C)の順にして4-(C)を最大サイズに指定した。また、本製品内に1-書式なし(16.0MB)が作成されていたが、これは不要と判断し削除した。なお、今考えるとMX300ドライブの3-書式なし(16.0MB)も削除して良かったかも知れない。過去にWin7からWin10にグレードアップしたため、パーティションの乱立が起きていると推察する。

Bought this to use with my OG PS5, installation was super straight foward and has been a gamechanger with being able to download and store more games at once. Highly recommend.
