It’s fast, but it can get really hot. Probably not something to worry about, but it is concerning.

Very nice to have extra storage for my PS5, but I had to add a heat sink to it.

Purchased this item in the event I wasn't able to secure the one with the heatsink. The WD brand has never failed me before and the quality of the product is excellent for the cost. With a cheap heatsink from Amazon this product would be excellent addition to increase the storage capacity of a PS5.

Wow, this is the fastest NVME drive I used. It loads Windows 11 in like 3 seconds. Downloading and uncompressed 60GB files takes mere couple of seconds instead of half an hour. Simply amazing. I had it under a heatsink on an Asus Prime Pro x570 motherboard.

I bought this M.2 ssd for my PS5 for more internal storage and paired it with a $13 heatsink from Amazon. This ssd works excellent in the PS5 and actually loads most games slightly faster. Great purchase.

I purchased 2 2tb SN850s to replace my old 1tb Gen3 drives. Its the perfect drive and when it comes to my PCs storage I only have a view brands I really trust and then from there it comes down to price. The SN850 brings devent value to a top tier nvme drive.

Its a valid choice for PS5. Its load times is very quick you would not even wait at the loading screen. miles morales loading screen is hard to catch a glimpse that the game even skips the loading screen and straight into the game

I'm using this SSD with my PS5 alongside a stand-alone heatsink. It was a very easy install, and I'm very happy with the expanded storage. Although this was expensive, I managed to buy it at a great price while on sale.

The Best of the Best…. WDSN850 is great for your PCIE Gen 4 PC (with CPUs - Ryzen 3000, 5000, 7000 series or Intel 11th, 12th, 13th gen) and your PS5! Enjoy the blazing speed

One of the fastest PCIE Generation 4 drives available. Tests ran after install indicate the advertised speeds are achievable when paired with a PCIE Gen 4 motherboard. I'm very happy with the responsiveness of the drive, though this kind of speed is really overkill.

Used to upgrade my PS5 storage. Read at 6500 Mbps which is above Sony's 5500 Mbps recommended. Will probably use the same kind of drive when I build my next PC. Would recommend!
