I recently purchased the WD - BLACK SN850X 4TB Internal SSD, excited about the potential boost in storage and performance for my system. Unfortunately, my experience has been deeply disappointing due to the SSD being defective.
Despite extensive troubleshooting, including updating my motherboard's BIOS, checking and rechecking physical connections, and trying different SSD slots, the drive was never recognized by my system. I even consulted various technical resources to ensure I wasn't missing any steps in the installation process. My motherboard, an ASRock Z690-C/D5, is fully compatible with NVMe PCIe Gen 4 x4 SSDs, so compatibility should not have been an issue.
The situation was frustrating, especially considering the premium price point of this product. An SSD of this caliber and cost should work seamlessly, or at the very least, have reliable customer support to assist when issues arise. Unfortunately, this was not the case.
I had high expectations for this WD - BLACK SN850X SSD, given the reputation of Western Digital and the advertised capabilities of the product. It's disheartening to encounter such a critical issue right out of the box. I hope this review serves as a cautionary tale for others considering this SSD. It's imperative for high-end components like this to undergo rigorous quality checks before reaching consumers.

This has been a really odd experience for me. I bought this to install in my gaming laptop and it ended up only being detected between 10-20% of the time. It may be an issue with the laptop, but after reinstalling it multiple times, there was no difference. I’ve tried others and they functioned properly. The only saving factor was I was able to switch the one I had in my ps5 and it seems to work appropriately in there. Very odd. It is possible it’s a Western Digital issue? It ended up working out in the end, so I guess that’s a good thing…
