It’s a bit overkill, and there’s not much difference in performance for most tasks, but it’s currently one of the top storage solutions available, with the added benefit of a very large capacity.

Installed in a OWC Express 1M2 enclosure attached to my M4 MacBook Pro . Working perfectly so far.

S.M.A.R.T code popped up and is stuck in read only, thankfully the self protection in the drive made it so im able to back up any data on the drive but failing after only 11TB writes and 28TB reads is pretty annoying. Worked great while it was usable

Upgraded from a 4×4TB Crucial MX500 RAID 0 array (which was solid in its own right) to four 8TB WD Black SN850s in a RAID 0 configuration for a 32TB setup. The goal was to move away from SATA III bottlenecks—and mission accomplished. Load times are noticeably faster, and shader caching is instant across all titles. No stuttering before, but now everything feels even more seamless and snappy. Setup was clean, drives run cool, and the capacity bump is a huge win. If you're transitioning from SATA to NVMe for gaming installs and live play, this setup delivers real-world gains without compromise.

I love the amount of storage on this nvme!!! I can finally install my entire Steam library! I love how fast I can install and move around files as well. I recommend if you need a lot of storage without breaking the bank buying a gen 5 nvme that is overkill for gaming. I highly recommend!

I live the drive. It was very easy to install and it loads my games very quickly.

Product always selling out. Picked it up and see label showing 8TB. Need to test the drive to see if it is legitimate in size and speed.

Bought it with the intents to use it with my sabrent dock for my steam deck. Works awesome! All my games are downloaded and i still have storage to spare! Highly recommend.

SN850X performs well. I was considering a gen 5, but after reviewing the overall average speed, I felt a 8TB gen 4 was better value than a 4TB Gen 5. Yaay, with 8TB of storage, there is no longer a need to content back and forth between HDD and SDD to manage space!

This drive is massive and light-speed fast. When I bought this in Dec 2024, I was skeptical due to the price but now that the price has nearly tripled, I know I made the right choice when I pulled the trigger and made my purchase.

Fast as a Cheetah, reliable as oak. Great product with speedy delivery.

great storage, western didgital is premuim so im glad i purchased this before prices spiked. But its great for my library of steam games

This NVMe was installed in an Acasis Thunderbolt 5 enclosure attached to a Mac Studio M4 Max. It runs at around 6,000mbps without any issues. A great alternative to the costly storage feed Apple charges, and no doubt would also perform well in a PC enclosure. Highly recommended.

Super Fast. Very Reliable. Extremely Satisfied. Will purchase again!

Switched from HDD to NVME and it gave my computer a longer lifespan in usage especially with 8TB of storage. This purchase was the best thing I could’ve done as a music producer, photographer, and videographer.

Awesome product. Works great. Super fast. Also very thin for a 2-sided. I managed to fit it it in a 1-sided slot.

This thing is screaming fast. Dropped it in a PS5 and can't notice a difference between games on internal memory vs on this guy.

Works as expected in an owc thunderbolt 5 enclosure for my m4 Mac Studio Max

Large storage capacity, fast. Installed in a Lenovo legion with a 4090. Space was tight, but no issues.

It has so much storage space! I'm glad I purchased this.
