Western Digital WD_BLACK SN850X NVMe SSD 2TB, M.2 2280 / M-Key / PCIe 4.0 x4, Kühlkörper

Mit der WD_BLACK SN850X hat Western Digital eine M.2 PCIe Gen4x4 SSD in seinem Sortiment, welche in unserem Test nicht nur durch eine solide Performance, sondern auch durch eine saubere Verarbeitung und einer guten Ausstattung überzeugen konnte.

The latest member of WD's Black product line of Gen 4 SSDs is the new SN850X, a successor to the popular Black SN850 that launched a couple of years ago. The new drive uses 112-layer NAND and an updated controller. WD sent us the Heatsink version of the drive, which also features RGB lighting.

With what I call the second generation of Gen4 NVMe solid state drives we’ve had a lot of entries in the space already and it does seem that Western Digital is a little late to the party with the WD Black SN850X, but if you haven’t picked up a Gen4 drive yet this drive I would say was worth the wait. When it comes to pure raw performance this drive us up there with all of the latest Gen4 drives that we’ve tested, but never took the top spot in any of our speed tests. In CrystalDiskMark we saw a read speed of 6970.12 MB/s and a write speed of 6689.79 MB/s,

The WD Black SN850X is a powerful, high-end PCIe 4.0 SSD that's near the top of the heap in almost every category. The SN850X is available in high capacities and has an optional RGB-laden heatsink for most models, but pricing and the questionable Game Mode 2.0 keep it from being the very best.
