SN850X

Get yourself a Thunderbolt 4/USB 4 external SSD enclosure with a fast SSD of your choice (WD_Black SN850x, Samsung 990 pro or 980 pro) and you’ll have a lot more storage, as fast as your internal drive, for less than $200. You can even swap your SSD sticks. That same storage space bought directly on

I recently bought the WD_BLACK SN850X NVMe SSD 2 TB. On November 18, it was €150, but now it's a little more expensive (€177). The 4 TB version currently costs €300. In recent tests, it was consistently among the top performers, averaging out as one of the best NVMe SSDs. It's even better than the c

I have an SN850 I took the heatsink off of, and it was on there real tight and it was my first time so that drive got BENT during that process. it did not come online for a few days but has been solid since then. However I have had a 4tb inland performance plus drive straight up just die and take my

Yeah I had read the SN7100 was one of the better ones for handhelds and laptops with optimization for low power consumption which figured was good for handhelds.

Just seen an 8tb wd black sn850x in best buy on the shelf for $1956 and honestly hope it sits there until it becom

Just a quick update on the laptop. It was the SSD. I got a new SSD from wal-mart for 120 bucks (Microcenter wanted $170 for the same drive), installed windows again and I'm up and running. Now I need to figure out how to get a warranty return for my bad WD-Black SN850 as it has a 5 year warranty and

I’d say go with the WD_Black. I have been using a WD_Black SN850X since I bought my PS5 Slim Christmas of 2024 & it’s been performing great. If you do go with WD_Black, do your self a favor & save some money & don’t purchase the SN850P. The SN850X & SN850P are literally identical & offer the same spee

Yes, you do need one. You don’t need thermal paste though. I got a WD SN850 and then a 20 quid heatsink. The heatsink came with a thermal adhesive pad that you just stick to the SDD and then stick the heatsink on top, requires zero expertise other than what you’d use to put on a plaster/band aid or
