Customer Ratings & Reviews

My last ssd failed me so i bought this one its pretty good for the price honestly super easy to install and it loads my games etc. pretty fast so i have no complaints as it hasnt failed me yet so lets hope that doesnt happen.

Excellent speed, capacity, reliability, from a reputable brand. Very high value.

Works better than expected, Meets expected speeds and lifetime and has continued operating great.

Simply put, I love these drives. I have four of the Western Digital Black SN850X drives in two different laptops and have yet to have a single issue with any of them. They are some of the fastest drives you can in the PCIe Gen 4 interface and so far, have been ultra reliable. Updating the firmware is extremely easy using the Dashboard app. I purchased Samsung 990 Pro only to find out it had a firmware issue causing the health of the drive to fail rapidly. I purchased my fourth WD Black SN850X to replace it. I'm only going for the WD Black drives from now on. You will not be disappointed if you purchase this.

My pc is so much faster and has so much more space! Perfect for gaming!

straight forward install, quick load up, large storage.

I caught this SSD on sale during the BestBuy Black Friday deals that were run before Black Friday. This was WELL worth the price. I was replacing a stock Samsung brand 500GB SSD drive inside an Alienware 17 R5 gaming laptop. Unfortunately, I finally filled the drive up, and it was time to upgrade. The installation was easy, but I would suggest performing a fresh Windows install instead of using the Acronis Cloning software. I'm a techy and have used Acronis since my college years. The older versions were great back in the Windows XP days, but these newer ones have always been a hit or miss for me. I encountered the problem of making the new SSD unseeable using the cloning software. The clone failed and after that it seemed to be chalked and couldn't be seen by my device. For some reason, it just bugged out, and I had to go a circumvented route and format with GParted. Note, although I was also running Windows 11 for this install on the OEM SSD, my device isn't technically "rated" for Windows 11. I'm a Windows Insider Previewer so I tend to preview versions before they're released for consumer consumption. And though my device didn't meet Windows 11's cutoff according to Dell, 11 runs on it fine. I will eventually upgrade to a new machine but for now I'm trying to keep this device running till that time. I went the route of installing Windows 10 and then upgrading to the Win 11 Developer version using my serial key. So far this thing has been screaming and I notice a difference in load times as well as heat production. I hear my fans having to spin up far less for cooling than with the previous SSD.

Everything you’d expect from a modern nvme. Easy installation, fast speeds, great price

Excellent performance and value for 3rd gen m.2. I installed this in my Razer Blade as an upgrade to the stock 1TB drive. Speed seems comparable, so much more storage!!

Great product. Its fast and reliable. Havent had any issues with it. Very good price as well compared to other ssd's.

Stupid Fast!! Works like a charm by far the fastest i have used. i do heavy video editing and the speed this puts out make editing a breeze

works great, good storage capacity and ive had no issues with it in the 2 years ive had it

Purchased this for the PS5 on sale. To add to the PS5 I bouggt a separate heat sink from a different vendor to keep the cost below the oem one with heat sink. The drive works great so far and read write speeds meet my requirements to play and store more games. One side note inwasnt aware of was, the PS5 adds this to the current storage it is nit a replacement. I was originally looking for the 4TB but learned it adds to and not replaces. With a 2TB ssd you get just about 3TB of storage.

Excellent speeds and plenty of storage. Super easy to install!

Slight context before I go any further in this review, I used to own a Samsung SSD back with my first gaming PC. With this one, I decided to go for the WD series of SSDs, and I have had a great time with them! They do great with performance, plenty of settings to customize in their app, along with cool additions like Microsoft Direct Storage support and Game Mode. Its a great SSD, and I would recommend it to anyone who is skeptical coming from Samsung.

Won't know what's wrong with it until it breaks... Seems like a good SSD. I've had it installed as a boot drive for a few months now and it is working ok. I chose it for the price at the time and adequate performance. If I were to purchase an ssd today for the same purpose, I would probably go for 4TB instead of 2. Also, you can obtain much faster performance today with a PCIE 5.0 mainboard and compatible ssd which will blow this away.

I bought 2 of these for a RAID 0 configuration in a cheap/fast Chines mini PC. The PC is very fast, great specs for the price. These NVME give it superb performance and read/write speeds and 4TB of storage that looks like one big drive (due to RAID 0). Pairing two like this in RAID 0 nearly doubles the already blazing fast read and write speeds of one of the drives. I have a 1TB one in my gaming rig and it makes playing games a joy, due to short loading times.

Fast, cool, and 2 TB. This NVE is top notch. You will pay a lot more to get better than this.

This drive is very fast, opening things on my PC open very quickly. I do some gaming and a lot of my in game load times are only a few seconds, compared to more than half a minute on my previous SSD drive. Installation was very straightforward and pretty easy. I have the model with the heatsink, so I wasn't able to use the heatsink on my motherboard, which is fine. My bios recognized the drive fine and Windows installation was very smooth. If you are looking for a fast internal drive, I would highly recommend this one.

The WD Black SN850X 2TB Internal SSD is an exceptional choice for those seeking blazing-fast speed and reliable performance. With its unrivaled read and write speeds, ample storage capacity, advanced cooling technology, and durability, this SSD takes your storage performance to new heights. Whether you're a gamer, content creator, or professional, the WD Black SN850X SSD is a game-changer that will elevate your computing experience and deliver the speed and reliability you need to excel in your work and play.
