Our take on the Black SN850X 2TB NVMe PCIe 4.0
The WD Black SN850X is the gaming-focused Gen4 favorite, with strong real-world performance, a DRAM cache, and a Game Mode that preps data for faster loads. It frequently trades blows with the 990 Pro on both speed and price, so the smart move is to buy whichever of the two is cheaper when you are ready.
Strengths
- +Excellent gaming-oriented Gen4 speed
- +DRAM cache for sustained consistency
- +Often competitively priced
Trade-offs
- –Can run warm without a heatsink
- –Gen5 beats it on raw sequential numbers
Best for: A fast 2TB gaming and OS drive.
