Easily installed and exactly what it's supposed to be. It went directly into the PS5 with no problems.

Dell Precision 7560 2TBx2
on March 13, 2023
Posted by: Bandicoot
If you have a laptop, you probably want single sided memory and not double sided memory; be sure to lookup your laptop's requirements. Not all memory is created equal and some reputable providers offer 2TB but memory is double sided and may not fit in your laptop. SN 850x 2TB and lower is single sided; 4TB is double sided. 2tb x 2 installed in Dell Precision 7560 for ease of separation of Windows 10 and Ubuntu dual boot

Works great once its set up correctly in the bios. Installed alongside the oem wd_black m.2 and used the included acronis subscription to move my OS over to the sn850x. I had to reset the cmos to get it to boot, and had to reformat the original drove to stop windows from reverting my boot order. I was initially disappointed in my benchmark scores before realizing that the pci lanes are intertwined in a way that both drives are affected. Basically, it made my original drive appear much faster than normal and the sn850x slower than advertised in testing. In real-world use, its fast and stable though. The dashboard app is also nice to have as well. Mine is mounted behind the GPU with no heatsink and never reaches above 60° at full load.

It's fast and easy to install. I just did an image backup of my old drive, a Samsung 980 pro, that was having issues and swapped it out with this one and did a restore. It booted right up and I downloaded and installed the Western Digital Software. It has be working great ever since.

How to achieve manufacturer's specifications?

Everything is very good, even many are saying Samsung and Seagate are better. Why 4 stars? Because I was never able to get 7300 mb/s. Even from one WD Black SN850X to another WD Black SN850X (on a Asrock Z790 Steel Legend WiFi motherboard). Maybe the motherboard is the problem. Not sure.

Which heatsink is best for the double-sided 4 TB?
on July 21, 2023
Posted by: Old Smokey
I've bought this for my PS5, but need advice on which heatsink to purchase. Should I buy a single-sided or double-sided heatsink for the 4 TB version for my PS5? And which model dissipates heat the best?

Heck, Yeah! Awesome Drive!

This was my first NVMe SSD purchase, and I could not be happier! It's been running great, and my temps are great too! I was surprised how fast Windows 11 installed on this thing. It had those files copied over and installing in hardly no time. I've installed Windows many times, but never seen it install that fast. No issues with gaming. Games load pretty fast. Drive installation was easy. My motherboard had an included beefy heatsink, so I did not have to purchase one. So keep in mind, you don't need to buy a heatsink if your motherboard already includes a decent one.
Yeah, so far all is good and hoping it stays this way! And I would certainly recommend this drive!
Lastly, be sure to pull off the protective film covering the thermal pad on back of the heatsink before installing your drive. I've watched some YouTube videos of some installing their drives and forgetting to remove that film. That's not good!
