WD Black SN850X 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD

The WD Black SN850X 2TB is Western Digital’s flagship gaming-focused NVMe SSD, delivering sequential read speeds up to 7300MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 6600MB/s over the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface. The 2TB capacity is the sweet spot for serious gamers who need to install large game libraries without constant file management. The SN850X builds on the acclaimed SN850 with improved firmware and a game-mode feature that reduces latency during gaming workloads when accessed through the WD_BLACK Dashboard software. The proprietary WD controller uses a 3-core design to manage the 3D NAND efficiently during mixed workloads. Write endurance is rated at 1200TBW for the 2TB model, reflecting the substantial endurance headroom built into the drive for heavy gaming and content creation use. The optionally heatsink-equipped version provides excellent thermal management for systems without M.2 heatsink coverage on the motherboard. The WD_BLACK Dashboard provides SSD temperature monitoring, performance status, and firmware update management. A compelling choice for PS5-compatible storage expansion and next-generation gaming PC builds.
