  • Key Specs
    • Storage Capacity: 2000 gigabytes (Measured in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB), this is the amount available for storing files, music, movies, photos and more. The total includes the capacity of the hard disk drive and solid state drive if both are included on the computer.)
    • Storage Drive Type: SSD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
    • Maximum Read Speed: 7000 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can read information; for example, opening files.)
    • Maximum Write Speed: 5100 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can write information; for example, saving files.)
    • Form Factor: M.2 2280
    • Interface(s): PCIe Gen 4 x4 (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

Whats Included
  • WD_BLACK SN850 2TB Internal Solid State Drive with Heatsink
  • WD_BLACK SN850 2TB Internal Solid State Drive with Heatsink

Q: Will this work in the ps 5? I just bought it. Store pickup on September 7th.

A: Yes, It is compatible with the PS5! The PS5 recognizes it and then asks to format. I installed after Sony sent out the latest PS5 OS update on 9/15/2021. All my PS5 games run just like on the internal console SSD. Lightening fast. No hassle easy peasy installation.

Q: I’ve just purchased the SSD and I’m so happy because the sales price for 2TB is simply the best just $297, thanks BestBuy. Just one question, I’ve watched a couple of videos on YouTube and they assured that this model heat a lot, is this true?

A: Mine only got loud while the new SSD was being formatted earlier today. I’ve been running it for 4 hrs now, downloading while playing a game. I haven’t heard any loud cooling noises. I’m using a horizontal stand. That may also help with air flow

Q: Does installing this do anything to void any warranty on a ps5?

A: No as long as you do it properly and dont cause any damage when installing. Sony also says remove it before sending it in for repairs.

Q: This one comes with the heatsink already attached?

A: Yes, its built in and not removable

Q: On the BLACK SN850 2TB Internal SSD PCIe Gen 4 x4, will this allow me to add more games onto the storage memory on the PS5?

A: Yes, you can use this to store and play PS4 and PS5 games that don’t fit on your PS5 internal storage.

Q: Can you run PS5 games directly from this? I saw on a forum that with EXTERNAL drives, you have to move the games over to the PS5 internal storage in order to play them. Is this the same case?

A: This is an internal drive. PS5 games run directly from this. Games do not run from external drives. Installing the drive only takes a couple minutes.

Q: Upon installation is the ssd supposed to be tilting upwards before screwed into place

A: Yes. When you insert a NVMe drive into the M.2 socket you put it in at a 30 degree angle. The drive will stay at that 30 degree angle until you gently push down on it to screw it down.
