Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

Great storage, good price, fast and very happy. This is my main storage on my current PC, will buy another to expand storage later down the line.

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!!

Extremely fast SSD that I’ve had zero problems with in my desktop. Great for a gaming rig! Be sure to put a heat sink on it as it does get quite hot

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

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.

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.

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.

This model, SN850X, has built in dram compared to the SN770 which does not. This means that it handles I/O thrashing better and reduces the write wears from your page file and windows journaling and logging. It also uses less memory and cpu time compared to drives with no dram which must allocate additional system memory and cpu cycles in their operations. It will also perform noticeably better when close to being full compared to drives with no onboard dram. I have two of the 2TB SN850x's in my 2021 ROG Zephyrus G15 GA503QR. Load times are very good and always CPU bound and the power draw for two of the SN850X 2TB drives is lower than the one 1TB stock drive that came with my laptop When on sale the value is Five stars, when it is not I'd give it four stars. I would definitely recommend this drive as an upgrade for anyone with a drive that doesn't have DRAM or needs a boot drive with more storage.

High Quality and fast. I use one WD-Black for the OS and a separate one specifically for games.

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.

The WD_BLACK SN850X 2TB is a top-of-the-line internal solid state drive (SSD) that offers incredible performance for gamers and creative professionals alike. With lightning-fast read speeds of up to 7,300 MB/s and write speeds of up to 6,600 MB/s, this SSD can significantly reduce load times in games and applications, allowing you to boot up, load files, and transfer data at incredible speeds.

I have a pair of these that perform excellently in my new ITX build. Highly recommended especially when they're on sale.

So over the last 18 years I have built closet to 180 pcs (Not all for me haha). I have always been a samsung guy buy but a few years when they started having issues I decided to give WD a honest go and I haven't been disappointed. Performance is the same 99% of the time and I haven't had any of them die, go bad, or have any issues, which I have had with samsung and other brands. They also have aggressive sales making them my go to for nvmes right now, which is probably why the pricing on them has gone up because I am not the only person who things so! Will buy this brand until they give me a reason I shouldn't

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.

Easy install & setup. Works great, good price. Looking at a second one for my Legion Slim 5.
