SN850X

I see a lot of people recommending the 990 Pro for the Xbox Ally X, but before you go get the fastest and most expensive drive, think about power consumption. The stock Samsung MZ-VMA1T00 (PM9A1) already balances solid speed with power efficiency, usually drawing around 4.5W under load. The 990 Pro,

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

My setup that has proven rock solid reliable over the past year: Wd_black sn850x 8tb, OWC 1M2 enclosure I paid $530 for the 8TB sn850 and $99 for the 1M2, but again this was almost a year ago

In north America the retailers killed the scalper market and became the scalpers "if people will pay that from a scalper we might as well make the profit ourselves" new 2025-2026 motto.

i got 24tb of sn850 for that same price lol

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

honestly id go with the 1tb version and swap the ssd yourself. those 2tb crash reports are suspicious - might be a bad batch of ssds asus used. i've done this on my g14 and its pretty straightforward. grab a samsung 990 pro 2tb or wd black sn850x, clone your drive with macrium reflect free, then swa

I have panic bought a mobo/ram as I wanted to switch and try AMD. I have a 13700k/4080 ATM. I ended up getting 48gb of 6400mt dominator ram for $400(I paid $150 for 32gb 6000 ram in 2023), 4tb sn850 for $300. So yes, that's an extremely good deal, lmao. I wish MC was in my state 😭

Samsung 980 Pro or WD Black SN850 are popular. Anything from a decent brand that meets the PS5’s speed requirements should be fine though and for me it’s just a sort of “no brainer” upgrade. I personally don’t think it’s worth spending loads extra for REALLY fast SSDs, any gains over something that

Why the solid core you do know that's an sff cards get solid / solid oc better thermals Also if its mostly for gaming 990 pro doesnt edge much there a cheaper drive like SN7100 or similar ssd will do the job however if gor a professional work where transferring files regularly get SN850 / GM7000 / K
