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

Read speed test on PS5 was 6550.689 MB/s.

Easy to install in my PS5.

Very easy to install

Did the installation in less then 10 minutes. Only need a basic screw driver. Works perfect with the PS5.

I like it.

This is an absolutely amazing drive, one of the best currently available PCIe Gen 4 drives trading blows with Samsungs flagship 980 pro. In terms of benchmarks and every day use, I have NO issues with this drive. Believe me, this drive beats the numbers they advertise.

Ive never replaced an SSD up until I bought this one. The reviews looked great and it felt like a safe purchase. I went with the 2TB 7,300MB/s version. Im honestly really impressed. Some friends made it sound like this would be annoying to swap because they all had issues with theirs but my process was easy.

This arrived quickly and was a very easy install on the PS5. All games load very fast and without any problems. I am just now testing it out but everything seems great so far.

So Ive looked at reviews on YouTube and compared SSDs like the Samsung 980 Pro and Seagate Firecuda from their performance and heating, and the Firecuda wins it overall, BUT fails on the pricing. Plus the speed on these drivers are VERY minimal, and even though the WD Black supposedly can get a bit warmer, it aint anything for you to even worry about at all. Why would I want to spend on a Seagate Firecuda 2TB M.2 SSD for $360 when I can save $60 or more on the WD BLACK 2TB M.2 SSD? It is still really fast regardless, and people never really had any issues with the WD Black as it has been out longer. It is also the 1st SSD that Sony recommended people to get for the PS5. Western Digital also offers a 5 year warranty on the SSD, just like the others.

I loved it, great product and works great with the ps5 and is so easy to install, just dont forget to add a heat sink!
