Renowned for its top-tier performance, it boasts sustained read speeds of up to 7,300MBps and write speeds of 6,600MBps, along with random read speeds of up to 1,200K IOPS and write speeds of 1,100K IOPS. It outperforms its predecessor, the SN850, thanks to advanced BiCS5 flash chips and updated firmware. Plus, it comes with a reassuring five-year warranty.

For gamers looking to enhance their PC setup, the SN850X includes WD's Game Mode 2.0 utility software, designed to optimize SSD performance during gaming sessions. With a whopping 8TB capacity, this is the largest mainstream SSD available, providing ample space for your operating system, applications, and a vast library of games.

Not just for PCs, the SN850X is also an excellent choice for PlayStation 5 users. It meets and exceeds 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 preinstalled heatsink, one can be purchased for just $7. However, investing as much in storage as the console itself might not be the most cost-effective decision.
