WD_BLACK SN850 1TB M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 NVMe Gaming SSD up to 7000 MB/s read speed

Bought this ssd a while back as needed something as a backup drive, have to say this thing is rapid. Blink and you'll miss the window actually load your data. Used mostly as storage for games, professional film and photo for my business and has never skipped a beat.Snap these up on prime day or when theyre on sale for an especially good deal.They're a quality drive with good build quality, great storage options, pretty universal fit and compatibility, and overall a great buy in terms of value for money.Its this or Samsungs own for me, nothing else!

I bought this when it was on sale on Prime day. Working well so far, fast read and write speed, gets hot but make sure you put heatsink on it. I used it in the USB C Sleeve and cloned my windows on it.It has plenty of storage

Purchased this item along with a heat sink to install in the Ps5 in 2021 and it works perfectly well, it was very easy to fit took approximately 1/2 hr. Would highly recommend. As this was some time ago most of the range has been updated but as far as this goes it is excellent

An essential purchase if you own a PS5 and don't want to constantly delete, then reinstall games when you want to play them

I bought this to upgrade my new laptop.Spent a bit of time researching drives and this one came up above all the others, when looking at speed, price, size, and reliability.It is always difficult to look at specs for these because only experience using it can give you a real feel for it. So you need to rely on manufacturer's info and reviews.Using it now for two months and it works great. Fitted right in on my HP elitebook laptop, but for sure it will be compatible with others. Quite fast, and as far as I can see runs really cool even when I'm running simulations on Matlab.It double my storage which is perfect for me at the moment.In my opinion this is excellent value for money and I would recommend it, if you are upgrading your machine or getting a gaming machine built.

All round, this is a fantastic M.2 SSD, provides enough storage space whilst being reasonably priced considering it is a Gen 4 drive. Easy to install, simply line up the slot and insert, screw and you're off to the races. I chose to have a fresh install of Windows, and it is blisteringly fast. It is important to note to take full advantage of the drive, a motherboard with 4.0 slots must be used, this enables the full theoretical speed of 7000MB/s. In conclusion, for the amount I paid, I am happy.

Nice and easy to install- Ensure you buy a seperate compatible heatsink, this involves adding thermal paste strips on either side of this drive, and encasing within the heatsink. Use Youtube vids if in doubt.- pop off one side plate off the PS5- locate the m2 plate which has a small PS logo screw to undo, remove silver plate- inside is a retainer screw, remove as this is needed to hold down the m2 drive which is smaller in length than where the retainer screw is currently.- slide drive into the m2 slot, screw down with previously mentioned retainer screw.- all done, just a case of fitting the silver plate, and side of Ps5 clicked into placeUpon startup you'll be asked to format the new drive, done.

Picked this up to go with QIVYNSRY M2 heatsink nvme 2280. I managed to pick up cheaper without a heat sink and who knows when heat sink version will be in stock. Im not into modding, or technical stuff, but it was pretty simple to attach the heatsink. The sizing of this particular heatsink is a tiny bit off - a little too big, so you need to make sure you position the surplus to the screw in end, so you’re not covering up the connection point. One minor thing to note for anyone installing - when you plug the SSD into the ps5, it sits at an angle. You need to remove the little nut screw from the ps5 and sit the SsD on it before screwing. It’ll make sense when you do it, just saying not to panic. Oh yeah, everything fit, closed, and seems to be working fine, so no issues here. You won’t regret having the extra space on your ps5. This drive is seamless.
