The WD Black SN850X represents the latest generation in WD's flagship Black series of M.2 SSDs. Renowned for its top-tier performance, this SSD boasts sustained read speeds of up to 7,300MBps and write speeds of 6,600MBps, alongside random read speeds of up to 1,200K IOPS and write speeds of 1,100K IOPS. Its superior performance over the previous SN850 model is thanks to advanced BiCS5 flash chips and updated firmware. Additionally, it comes with a reassuring five-year warranty.

For gamers looking to enhance their PC setup, the SN850X includes Game Mode 2.0 utility software, which optimizes the SSD for peak gaming performance. With an 8TB capacity, this drive offers ample space for your operating system, applications, and an extensive game library, making it the largest mainstream SSD available.

The SN850X is also an excellent choice for PlayStation 5 users, matching Sony's officially licensed WD SN850P SSD. It meets all of Sony's PS5 storage requirements, including the M.2 2280 form factor, a minimum speed of 5,500MB/s, and a PCI-E Gen4x4 interface. While a heatsink isn't included, you can purchase one for just $7. However, consider whether investing as much in storage as the console itself is the best use of your funds.
