The WD Black SN850X represents the pinnacle of WD's flagship Black series M.2 SSDs. It boasts top-tier performance with sustained read speeds of up to 7,300MBps and write speeds of 6,600MBps, along with random read speeds reaching 1,200K IOPS and write speeds at 1,100K IOPS. Thanks to advanced BiCS5 flash chips and updated firmware, it surpasses the performance of its predecessor, the SN850. The drive is backed by a robust five-year warranty.

For gamers looking to enhance their PC experience, the SN850X comes equipped with Game Mode 2.0, a utility designed to optimize the SSD for peak gaming performance. With an 8TB capacity, this SSD offers more than enough space for your operating system, applications, and virtually every game you could ever download.

The SN850X is also an excellent choice for PlayStation 5 users, matching Sony's officially licensed WD SN850P SSD. It meets all of Sony's PS5 specifications, including the M.2 2280 form factor, a minimum speed of 5,500MB/s, and a PCI-E Gen4x4 interface. While it doesn't come with a preinstalled heatsink, you can purchase one for just $7. However, considering the cost, investing in such storage expansion might not be the best financial decision for everyone.
