The SN850X represents the latest in WD's flagship Black series M.2 SSDs, renowned for its top-tier performance. With sustained read speeds up to 7,300MBps, write speeds up to 6,600MBps, and random read/write speeds of up to 1,200K IOPS and 1,100K IOPS respectively, it outperforms the previous SN850 model thanks to advanced BiCS5 flash chips and updated firmware. This SSD comes with a reassuring five-year warranty.

For gamers looking to enhance their PC setup, the SN850X includes Game Mode 2.0, a utility software designed to optimize SSD performance during gaming. With a capacity of 8TB, 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 worth it.
