What the WD_BLACK SN850X offers for the PS5

The SN850X is WD's mainstream Gen4 performer, sold bare or with a heatsink. It clears the PS5 speed minimum comfortably and is frequently keenly priced.

It is the value-minded sibling of the licensed SN850P: same performance class, usually cheaper, with a heatsink option you fit and forget. Compare the two live before paying for the licensed badge.
