The WD Black SN850 is a PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD built for fast gaming and heavy workloads. It reaches up to 7,000 MB/s sequential read and 5,300 MB/s write, with a 600 TBW endurance rating on the 1TB model. It suits gamers, video editors and anyone moving large files who has a Gen4 M.2 slot. Against rivals like the Samsung 980 Pro and Crucial P5 Plus it holds its own on speed, though it runs warm and needs a heatsink for sustained loads.
