Our take on the WD_BLACK SN850 NVMe SSD for PS5 Consoles

The WD_BLACK SN850 for PS5 is an internal M.2 2280 NVMe drive with a built-in heatsink, sold in a 1 TB capacity and rated up to 7000 MB/s read and 5300 MB/s write over PCIe 4.0. It is officially licensed and tested for the PlayStation 5, so it slots into the console's expansion bay without a separate heatsink. Against rivals like the Samsung 980 Pro and Seagate FireCuda 530, it trades blows on speed and matches the PS5's requirements, with the heatsink included rather than sold separately. Owners rate it well for easy installation and fast load times; a few report the drive running warm or falling short of advertised speeds in some setups.
