Hi, “Based on Sony’s published requirements, we can confirm our WD_BLACK SN850 NVMe SSD with Heatsink (500GB-2TB) meets the stated requirements to expand console storage on the PlayStation 5 for those with access to the PlayStation 5 Beta software. Compatibility testing is in progress.” We will upgrade that to yes it works once we are able to complete compatibility testing. It is important to not push non-heatsink since Sony specified heatsink version. Please check with the host device vendor whether the WD drive will fit and support. -Need Help?

Looks like this one does not have a heatsink. You can get the same one with heatsink at Newegg for $450.
