We reviewed the WD_Black SN850X and were impressed with the performance, rating it at 4 out of 5 stars. The performance definitely blew us away, landing its top spot on our list of PS5 SSDs. Our biggest complaint was that the drive was a bit expensive but today's discount more than negates that concern.
