Western Digital Ultra Game WD SN850 1Tb, Pcie Gen 4 SSD 7000Mb/S R, 5300Mb/S W, for Gaming & Content Creators - Black

Bought for PS5 internal storage extension. Compared with Samsung 980 Pro, this was a couple of hundreds cheaper and was higher rated and recommended in several online reviews on PS5 / gaming review websites. The Sept 2021 firmware update of PS5 is must for using the M.2 Storage. PS5 requires the M.2 storage to have speed above 5500 mbps. Received the package on time, sealed original box. The box contains only the chip and product litrature. Sony recommeds using a heatsink. I went with Jonsbo heatsink (silver grey or black). The combo meets the size requirements of PS5. Fitting the chip to PS5 was easy and is shown in several videos on Internet. The holding screw and placer are already given in PS5. Only thing to be careful about is that placer should also be moved in correct hole before putting in the screw. I missed that first time but thankfully realised it before powering on, and had to open the PS5 console again to fix it. Remember to ground yourself properly before handling the chip. If you're not comfortable doing it yourself, better seek help of a friend who knows his ways around computer parts. On switching on the PS5, it automatically detected the chip storage and gave option to format it. For first time installation, you must format the storage in PS5. It also detected the speed as 6655 mbps, which is almost the rating of the chip (7000 mbps). The size is detected as 1.01TB and shows full 1TB as available out of which some space is taken by PS5 system files. PS5 moved 3 games and 2 apps totalling 260 GB in under 2 minutes to the chip. The games start from the chip (shown as 'M.2 SSD Storage' in PS5 settings) and there isn't any noticeable lag/latency compared to inbuilt storage. So far PS5 treats internal storage and M.2 SSD as two different storages, so one has to decide to store which game where. PS5 has option to set the M.2 SSD as default storage for games & apps. There are separate options for PS5 and PS4 games. I plan to use the M.2 SSD as default as all games can be played directly from there as well, no need to transfer games to inbuilt storage. I anyway delete games that I've finished and don't plan on playing again. With FTTH broadband at home, re-download isn't a big problem. 1TB+667GB should be sufficient for about 10-15 games that I keep around in console. With talks that newer PS5 games will be smaller in size due to better compression, maybe togather it'll be good for 25+ games each averaging about 60GB. Overall, very satisfied with purchase and happy that my PS5 will hopefully not run out of game space now.

Works well with the PS5. Easy to install. I installed it with a Jonsbo M.2-3 Heat Dissipation Radiator. Use one thin (grey) and one thick (White) heat pad to install to get the ideal fit and circulation. Working like a charm so far. Getting 6500mb/s speed and works just as good as the PS5's internal HDD... No lags, performance drops or increase in load times. Do wait for the price to drop or for deals... I got a 1TB variant for about 13k. Shortly after I ordered the price went as high as almost 21K. So, be patient Do register the product at the WD website to avail the 5 year warranty. Use the serial no. Mentioned on the SDD for this purpose. Hope this helps.

It's is very fast loading is very fast now

I'd say it's totally worth the price, even more, you're actually getting more than what it's worth. The sequential I/O speeds are absolutely insane and is very close to what is advertised for (YMMV because setups differ). To enjoy the speeds make sure your NVMe slot supports Gen4 NVMe SSDs. For me, it was literally opening up the back of my machine, and sliding in the SSD. Worked like a charm. Would happily recommend and buy again (with more capacity. got 1TB this time, will hopefully find a 2TB next time).

I am a game developer, and when I used to build the games it used to take forever to load the assets from the disk and start the build process, now it instantly loads and keeps the cpu busy with the building process, truly amazing... the build times decreased significantly... It comes pretty handy when multiple builds have to be tested with few changes to debug some issue which can't be done in the editor Apart from that, I play video games for which this ssd is kindof an overkill, but when DirectStorage is released, games would be able to use this kind of performance to directly stream the textures to gpu in realtime reducing the ram usage and improving the loading times substantially... kindof like what ps5 and xbox series does.... Really looking forward for this feature I wanted a high performance ssd since a long time, but the ones available in India weren't really worth it, and compared to their prices in US they were totally unreasonably priced, 1tb variant costed me Rs. 20499 which seem worth it for a flagship ssd. I bought it like couple of days after this listing went up, and it went out of stock few days after xD Really satisfied with the product

I have Macbook Pro A1502 & Macbook Air A1466. Previously, I needed to upgrade the SSD in Macbook Air A1466. So, I ordered WD SN550 SSD (500 GB) for MacBook Air A1466 from Amazon, which was superb and I liked that SSD very much. Now, I wanted to upgrade the SSD in Macbook Pro A1502 to 1 TB. Again, I searched the Amazon for SSDs. And I didn't find better SSD than WD SN850 (1 TB). We also need to have NVME M.2 12+16 Pin SSD Adpater along with the SSD to install the SSD in Macbook. I would recommend you to go for "Festnight 12+16 Pin NGFF M.2 SSD Adapter" with this. I was amused by the speeds that WD SN850 provided. I used this for Dual Boot (Mac OS Big Sur + Windows 11 Pro) on my Macbook Pro A1502. This SSD is highly recommended and again I thank amazon for the superb services.

Been using it for the last 2 months now , works flawlessly (obviously need to buy a heat sink separately) , you won’t even notice any difference in gaming loading time from console storage and the price if reasonable too (all things considered)

When I first installed this, the socket did not recognize, I was using ASUS Z590 ROG motherboard. I almost returned the drive but, tested in another socket of GEN3 and it was working fine. So the SSD was fine, it was only ASUS motherboard had some specific setting for M.2_2 socket. After that it was smooth, the drive is excellent performance, runs little warmer, and consumes more power in idle, this helps in quick waking up. Overall great product, will keep posted on performance after some months

Está no meu ps5. Uso para jogos ps5/4, nenhum problema. No início esquentava muito até desligava o aparelho. Agora não mais posso jogar o dia todo sem super aquecimento

Ürünü prime haftasında 1750 TL’ye aldım, ürün yurtdışından gönderildi. SSD için yukarıda belirttiğim gibi olumsuz bir yorumum yok ürün cidden çok iyi yanında bir de Sabrent Rocket soğtucu aldım ve PC’de stress testinde maksimum 54 dereceyi gördü, boşta ise maks. 40 dereceye çıktı. Ürün siparişinde öncelikli & hızlı kargo seçeceğiyle aldım ve 1 hafta içinde paket teslim edildi fakat tarafıma boş paket teslim ettiler, yani zarfın içinde ürün yoktu. Tabi durum zatftan belli olunca detaylı bir şekilde paket açılımını videoya aldım ve bunu Amazon’a ilettim, telefon ile görüştüğüm müşteri hizmetleri personeli konuda yetersizdi ve supervisor ile görüşme talebinde bulundum. Bir şekilde saatler sonra supervisor aradı ve bana 100 TL gibi komik bir hediye çeki teklifinde bulundu. Durumu mecbur Twitter Amazon destek sayfasına taşıdım ve aynı gün akşamı ürüne ait tutarın iadesini onayladılar ve yeniden sipariş verirken aradaki 400TL fark için hesabıma hediye çeki gönderdiler. Özellikle yaşadığım sorunu uzun uzun dile getirdim ki, aynı şeyi yaşamak zorunda kalırsanız bilginiz olsun istedim.

自作PCでしたが、想像以上に簡単にセットできて、現在も快適に動いています。

Testé sur crystalmark on a bien les débits en écriture et lecture annoncés et ça envoi lol. Bref c'est un des trois meilleurs ssd du marché en nvme pcie gen4. Le seul défaut est le prix mais les gen 4 de qualité sont pas cadeau en général. Monté sur une x570 aorus pro avec un ryzen 5800x et une rtx 3080TI ce ssd nvme me sers à installer que des gros jeux AAA très gourmands et pour l'instant que du bonheur il ne chauffe pas énorme avec un dissipateur ez dye environ 54 degrés en fonctionnement ce qui est tout à fait acceptable et honorable surtout en plein jeu avec Godfall qui tourne en épic avec ray tracing à fond les ballons, idem assassin creed Vahalla ect..... Vous l'aurez compris si vous voulez investir dans du très bon matos foncez c'est un must.
