You know the drill, especially if you have a PS5
WD Black SN850 with heatsink.
A bit miffed, since I paid $388 for the standard SN850 2TB and purchased an aftermarket heatsink for $20, just 4 days ago.
Anyways, if you're like me and have already filled up your PS5 (I hear there's been a lot more stock the past week) HD. Then perfect time I guess.
Also, it's plug and play, unlike the Samsung equivalent. From the comments here regarding the Samsung equivalent, you have to install it on your PC and update the software first before plugging it into your PS5.
Cheaper on Amazon US if you have a no fee international TX card.
