WD Black SN850X review

If you thought PCIe 4.0 SSDs had already had their last gasp you’d be mistaken, as these drives still offer amazing performance. They're also well priced now and don't require the massive cooling arrays of the latest PCIe 5.0 SSDs either. The WD Black SN850X is a prime example, pushing the PCIe 4.0 interface close to its limit, but for a very reasonable price.

There are several reasons why this Western Digital drive is currently our favorite on our best gaming SSD guide, and they include its great performance, high capacity options, and its competitive price. You can often pick up the 4TB version of this SSD for under $300 now, with the 2TB version we're reviewing here usually going for around the $155 mark.
