WD_BLACK SN850X 2TB NVMe SSD - M.2 2280
WD_BLACK SN850X 2TB NVMe SSD - M.2 2280, Up to 7,300 MB/s Read speeds, Up to 6,300 MB/s write speeds, Gaming Expansion, High Performance Internal Solid State Drive - WDS200T2X0E
Top-tier NVMe speed without the extra heatsink bulk. The bare SN850X 2TB is the pick when your board already cools its M.2 slot.
- 2TB capacity on SanDisk TLC 3D NAND
- Up to 7,300 MB/s read and up to 6,300 MB/s write
- PCIe x4 NVMe interface in the M.2 2280 form factor
- WD_BLACK Dashboard for health monitoring and RGB (Windows)
Best for builders whose motherboard supplies its own M.2 heatsink.
Editor's note
This is the same fast drive as the heatsink model, just naked. Buy it if your board has a built-in M.2 cooler and save a few dollars.
Why we picked it
Best for: PC gamers and creators who want top Gen4 speed and already have an M.2 heatsink on their motherboard.
Top-tier Gen4 gaming speed without paying for a heatsink your motherboard probably already includes.
What we like
- + Class-leading Gen4 read and write speeds
- + Full 2GB DRAM cache for strong, consistent performance
- + Excellent random performance that games and apps actually feel
- + Works great in a PS5 if you add a heatsink
- + 5-year warranty and a well-proven controller
Watch outs
- - Runs warm under heavy sustained writes without a heatsink
- - Needs a board or aftermarket heatsink for PS5 use
- - Costs more than budget Gen4 drives
