Customer Ratings & Reviews

I don’t have any issues using my this m.2 drive it is super fast and super cheap for what you are getting! Gen 4x4 perfect for a gaming build or if you are doing a lot of file transfers.

Fast M.2 even when installed in a Gen 3 system. However not happy with WD as after registering for the warranty they sent me an email stating that I purchased this SSD from EBay even after uploading the Best Buy receipt and reduced the 5 year warranty by 8 months. Took two days after pointing out their error to get things straight. Still recommend this SSD, but watch out for WD.

Perfect upgrade, extremely fast speeds, used it for upgrading my Rog Ally, now I absolutely love this thing, plenty of space and awesome price as well

This is hands-down one of the fastest and reliable SSD for PS5 and PC. Its value is great for the 2tb size. I used it for PS5 and so far the speed and game loading time are as expected! No firmware update is needed for this (vs Samsung 980/990 Pro). This is the version without the heat sink, so you will need to spend just a bit more ($10) to get a good PS5-compatible heat sink for use with PS5.

Super fast ssd ever. Very good P/P i have 2 2tb sn850x for my gs66 12900k. Load game super fast. i bought from bestbuy they packaged in carton box carefully when shipped it to me.

I have the 1TB WD Black SN850 as well as this 2TB SN850x, The speed of both are absolutely blazing compared to previous SSD. Yes, it is very noticeable. Especially if you don't have gig speed internet. This bad boy is literally trying to do read/write speeds faster than I can even download. The only thing I've noticed negatively, but also expected is that the m2 shield thermal pad I have on my motherboard is disintegrating a bit due to the heat generated. This is no problem though. Easily replaceable or you can buy the version that comes with its own shield. I would highly recommend this product.

First note, this doesn't come with a HEAT SINK. But it is PS5 compatible. I used it on my PC and luckily, my motherboard had a PCIE 4.0 slot that had a heat sink on it. The speeds are excellent, and with that comes crazy amounts of heat. If you don't think you need a heat sink, I repeat. Please do.

After having a defective Samsung 980, I can say I'm very happy I went with this NVMe drive. Fast blazing speeds and best reliability. Also make sure to download the western digital utility program to update the software of these bad boys.

Cons: Pricey: The SN850X is on the higher end of the price spectrum, which might be a consideration for budget-conscious buyers1 Game Mode 2.0: While innovative, some users find the Game Mode 2.0 feature to be a bit gimmicky1 Overall, the WD_BLACK SN850X is a fast and reliable choice for all needs for gaming, general use, and professional use. Would reccomend Note: I had games downloading on my system so the benchmark might not be at justice. But, I can tell a difference with my applications and game loading time compared to my old gen 3.

Great write speed and a longer lifespan than Samsung for a lower price. No bottleneck marketing stuff.

Easy formatting and cloned with ease. Installed in Dell Inspiron 14. Easy install absolutely no heat whatsoever.

The SN850X came with an eye-opening performance right out of the box. The installation was super easy. However, make sure you have an extra M.2 screw; the package doesn't include the screw for the standoff.

Very fast and, at discounted price, a pretty great deal. It did need a firmware update so get the WD Dashboard. It also allows you to put it in game mode. This speed is on auto.

Perfect for my ps5 ultra fast no issues it make my console space better

I Freaking Love this SSD. I have 2 in my laptop, 2 in my desktop and 1 in my girlfriends laptop.

To me this is one of the best SDD 2tb stick of memory money can buy.. I know it sure hasn't given me any problems whatsoever..

Very good SSD. I bought a 4TB for my other computer and loved it, so when my son needed a new SSD i told him to get the WD brand. He bought this one and now his computer runs faster and smoother and he loves it. If your looking for a new SSD and highly recommend this one

I bought this to replace a 970Evo NVMe. Installed it in the main m.2 slot on an MSI x570 mobo with a built in heatsink and fan (combined with the chipset). Read and write speeds are as advertised. So far very satisfied, hopefully it doesn't die on me like the samsung did.

Easy to install, works great, loads fast, and was a great value.

Really my first foray into the M.2 as I previously only used 2.5 SSD before. I can definitely tell a difference in game load times. Glad I made the switch. *The M.2 is hidden under the Motherboard heatsink; BBY wants a photo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯*
