0$879.99 save 39%$533.10 at AmazonThe SN850X represents the cutting-edge of WD's flagship Black series M.2 SSDs. Boasting top-tier performance, it delivers sustained read speeds up to 7,300MBps and write speeds up to 6,600MBps, alongside random read speeds of up to 1,200K IOPS and write speeds of 1,100K IOPS. This model surpasses its predecessor, the SN850, thanks to advanced BiCS5 flash chips and updated firmware. It also comes backed by a reassuring five-year warranty.

For gamers looking to enhance their PC setup, the SN850X includes the Game Mode 2.0 utility software, which optimizes the SSD for superior gaming performance. With a staggering 8TB capacity, this drive offers more than enough space for your operating system, applications, and virtually every game you could wish to download.

Moreover, the SN850X is an excellent choice for PlayStation 5 users, matching Sony's officially licensed WD SN850P SSD. It meets all of Sony's PS5 storage requirements, including the M.2 2280 form factor, a minimum speed of 5,500MB/s, and a PCI-E Gen4x4 interface. Although it doesn't come with a pre-installed heatsink, one can be purchased for a mere $7. However, investing as much in storage expansion as the cost of the console itself might not be the most economical decision.
