WD BLACK SN850 NVMe SSD Launched

Officially Licensed M.2 SSD for PlayStation 5

Western Digital and Sony have teamed up to deliver the first official PlayStation-licensed M.2 SSD for the PS5. The SSD is officially designated as “WD_BLACK SN850 NVMe SSD for PS5 Consoles”, and it provides gamers with the ability to expand the high-speed storage capacity of their console. In addition, it also gives them the ability to play both PS5 games and PS4 games directly from the drive.

WD-BLACK-SN850-NVMe-SSD

To make this happen, Western Digital has specially optimized the drive for the newest-generation console through hundreds of hours of rigorously testing with some of the most graphic-rich titles across various genres. The drive’s attached heatsink also makes installation quicker with its all-in-one design. This means that gamers can cut down on long load times with PCIe Gen4 technology, reaching up to 7000MB/s read speeds.

To help future-proof the drive against next-gen storage-intensive AAA titles, the WD_BLACK SN850 NVMe SSD comes in high-capacity sizes of 1TB and 2TB and is available for purchase exclusively at Best Buy and on the Western Digital online store.
