Review on WD_Black SN850 Internal Gaming Solid by Rick Alexander

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Alright, you could get 1TB for the same money. TO EDIT. It's better than I thought.

WD Black SN850 500GB. Well I spent more dollars to get this fast SSD. It's the same as the others, just more expensive. I ran this on a new 11th Gen Intel 11400 CPU with new Gigabyte Z590 Aorus Elite m/b Corsair 3200 RAM with all drivers in win10. Temp was 102F for takeoff and climbed to 127F after 6th takeoff, has heat shield m/b. Updated firmware ver. 613000WD with WD Dashboard and Game Mode enabled. Buy a 1TB SSD as fast as this one for the same money. Sorry WD.Edit - I take it back, my system is flying now. Everything from gaming to audio ripping seems to work as if it's already loaded into RAM instead of from the hard drive. USB 3.0 seems so fast that I need to check and make sure I pressed the button. I uploaded a new picture of 4-20. The further I go, the faster. I was looking so hard at the 7,000-5,000 mark that I didn't understand how fast it was. So yes, sorry WD for my mediocre review earlier, and I take everything back except the ! concert part. I should have bought WD for 1 gig instead of 500. But I'll buy another one later. I'll update if anything else happens to him. :) The latest speed test is the last one (which accelerates), also my boot time is around 5-7 seconds after the BIOS screen.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Some bugs
