Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the BLACK SN850 1TB Internal Gaming SSD's performance, storage capacity, ease of installation, and user-friendliness, with many praising its compatibility with the PS5. A common concern is the need for a heatsink to manage heat generation, although many users report successful installations with added cooling solutions. The price point is also frequently cited as a positive aspect. While some users experienced longer load times, the majority reported significantly improved loading speeds.

    Works as described. If using with PS5 I suggest adding an aftermarket heat sink.

    I purchased this because I wanted an SSD that worked well with the ps5. Just purchase a nice heatsink to go with it. Forget the optional pre-added heatsink that's too expensive.

    Better cache controller vs the 980 Pro's I was considering the Samsung option, but I heard they lack good Architecture for writing speeds.

    Gen 4 PCIE = Super fast storage! I had an NVME SSD as my my main boot drive, but it was only on Gen 3. Gen 4 just blows it away! Well done WD!

    4th gen SSD, whats the difference between this and a lowly 3rd gen?? nothing not a single thing...instead of loading up in 4 seconds, you will now load up in 3.2 seconds..but you still won't start work any faster as you have to put down the mug and find your glasses ( they're on top your head )

    One of the best spec'd pci4 drives that you can buy. Good performance but at the price I wouldn't recommend buying it now. Unless you are transferring large video files or something you won't notice any difference. Nothing noticeable while gaming.
