I would simply recommend buying one without a heatsink! Cost is the same if not less + a little less to throw away. Would only buy one with heatsink if it was for a PS5. :D

I have the model with 4tb and without heat sink. Mine is fitted on one side. If you have space for the heatsink, then go for the variant with heatsink, as the SSD gets hot under load.
The WD_BLACK SN850X SSD is designed to handle intense gaming sessions with features like Adaptive Thermal Management, which helps manage heat generation. However, installing it as a second disk in a laptop may still pose thermal concerns, especially if the laptop's cooling system is not robust. It's advisable to ensure your laptop has adequate cooling capabilities to maintain optimal performance and prevent overheating.
Hy so it looks similar for me only I have the Asus RTX 4070 Ti Super. And the graphics card is virtually at the same height as the m2. But it fits perfectly
Yes, the Western Digital Black SN850X with heatsink (4000 GB, M.2 2280) is suitable for the PlayStation 5. This SSD uses the M.2 2280 format and supports NVMe, which meets the requirements of the PlayStation 5. In addition, the integrated heatsink is useful for regulating the temperature during operation, which is important for the performance and longevity of the SSD.
If you want to know with compatibility whether you can install the SN850X NVME in the mentioned laptop model, then the answer is yes. As I understand the information I have researched, the laptop mentioned even has a free M.2 slot, so you can continue to use the data carrier already installed.
The two M.2 slots are mentioned here:

...if a heat sink is already present on the mainboard, buy one without a heat sink, or if no heat sink is present, buy one with a heat sink - it's easy!
Yes, 2280 is only the shape of the M.2 SSD. The important thing is whether your laptop has PCI 4.0 or 3.0. Both work, but with 3.0 the SSD does not have the maximum speed. Buy a cheaper one with PCI 3.0. For everything else, there is the Internet and a search function
So I didn't find anything with 4000GB at Galaxus. But how about this one?
Kingston FURY Renegade with Heatsink (4000 GB, M.2 2280)
In the questions about this product, someone has already written that he uses the 2TB version in the PS5.
Greetings Mysti
You can easily install the new SSD in your Asus B550 mainboard, as it supports at least one M.2 slot with PCIe 4.0 x4.
Whether you need a heat sink depends on whether your motherboard already has one or whether you want to retrofit one.
The heat sink that came with your 1TB SSD is usually designed for this particular SSD and cannot be easily transferred to another SSD, as the dimensions and fastenings do not always fit.
The WD Black SN850X (2000 GB, M.2 2280) is compatible with your mainboard and can be operated with or without a heat sink.
If you value low temperatures, a suitable heat sink is recommended, but it is not a must.
Whether the existing heat sink fits depends on the design - heat sinks for M.2 2280 SSDs are usually universal, but the mounting can vary.
You can therefore order the new SSD without a heat sink and decide later whether you want to retrofit one.
The WD Black SN850X is a very fast and reliable choice for your system.
If you are unsure whether the existing heat sink will fit, check the dimensions and mounting options.
The SSD is compatible with your mainboard and also works without a heat sink.
If you want to use a heat sink, make sure that it is suitable for M.2 2280.
The WD Black SN850X is a very good choice for your project.
To choose between the Kingston KC3000 and the Western Digital Black SN850X, here are a few key points to consider:
- Transfer speed: The Kingston KC3000 offers faster sequential write speeds of up to 7000 MB/s, while the Black SN850X achieves 6600 MB/s.
- Durability: The Kingston KC3000 generally has better durability in terms of TBW (Total Bytes Written), meaning it can withstand more write cycles before starting to show signs of degradation.
- Random performance: Both SSDs offer similar random read performance, but the Kingston KC3000 may have a slight advantage in random writes.
In summary, if you're looking for write speed and durability, the Kingston KC3000 may be a better option. If you're looking for excellent sequential read and value for money, the Black SN850X remains an excellent alternative.
Hello everyone, I bought the ASUS ROG STRIX X870E-E motherboard which runs very well except for one thing, I also bought 3 of these M.2 WD Black SN850X which are all in perfect slots on the board so that the graphics card does not go down to x8 (lane-sharing) but in Windows 11, for example, all 3 SSDs are displayed as HDDs in the Task Manager, even in new games there is a warning that I should better install the game on an SSD. Everything should be correct in the Bios, the Device Manager says the drivers are up to date but when I start WD Dashboard my SSDs are not recognised. I have already defragmented all 3 but it still says hard drive instead of SSD. Does anyone know another tip? I've already spent hours on Google and ChatGPT doesn't show me a solution either. Oh yes, fortunately Crystaldiskmark shows in the test that the SSDs are running at full speed.
It seems that there are a few issues with the detection of the WD Black SN850X SSDs. Here are some possible solutions:
1. driver check: make sure you have the latest drivers installed. Sometimes older drivers can cause problems. In your case, the device manager says that the drivers are up to date, but it might be helpful to check the drivers manually and update them if necessary.
2. WD Dashboard: There are reports that the WD Dashboard sometimes has problems recognising NVMe SSDs in Windows 11. Try updating the dashboard or using alternative tools such as CrystalDiskInfo to monitor the SSDs.
3. BIOS settings: Check the BIOS settings to make sure the M.2 slots are configured correctly. Sometimes resetting the BIOS settings to the default values can help.
4. recognition as HDD: If the SSDs are recognised as HDDs, this could indicate a problem with recognition by the operating system. Try to check the SSDs in the Device Manager and make sure that they are displayed under the NVMe controller.
If these steps do not help, it may be helpful to look for more information in the forum or at Western Digital Support.
The Western Digital Black SN850X hard drive with Heatsink (2000GB, M.2 2280) is generally compatible with Acer Predator Orion 3000 computers, including the PO3-640 model, but there are a few considerations:
## Compatibility
- The WD Black SN850X is a PCIe 4 x4 NVMe drive, which means it is compatible with the M.2 slots on the PO3-640 motherboard.
## Internal space
- Although the hard drive itself is compatible, the heatsink could cause space problems. Heatsinks on SSDs can be too large for some M.2 slots, especialmente if they are close to other components such as graphics cards or sound cards.
- However, for the PO3-640, it was mentioned that the M.2 slot is often in an open space and benefits from the airflow from the front fan, which makes the heatsink less necessary. You might therefore consider buying the version without heatsink, but if the price is the same, the version with heatsink should still work if you check the dimensions and make sure there are no conflicts with other components.
To sum up, the hard drive is compatible in terms of technical specifications, but make sure you check the dimensions and the location of the M.2 slot to avoid any space problems.
For an external boot volume for your MacBook Pro 2019, both the WD Black SN770 and the Samsung 990 Pro could be suitable. Both SSDs are very powerful, but there are some differences and factors you should consider:
Budget:
If you're budget-conscious, the WD Black SN770 might be a good choice. However, if you want the best performance and are willing to spend more, the Samsung 990 Pro is an excellent option.
Thermal management:
If you plan to use the SSD intensively (e.g. for video or photo editing), look for a good enclosure with sufficient heat dissipation.Compatibility: Both enclosures suggested are compatible with both SSDs and offer good performance and cooling.
Both SSDs and the enclosures mentioned offer an excellent solution for an external boot volume for your MacBook Pro.
Hello all,
I have the problem that the SSD is no longer recognised after a reboot. It is also no longer displayed in the Bios.
on/off of the card does not work (LED of the card does not light up).
If I then remove the card in the Bios while the PC is running and install it again, the card is active (LED lights up) and is recognised.
The next time I restart the computer, the same problem occurs again. Does anyone have a solution to this?
What I have already done:
- reinstalled the operating system (Windows 10)
- All drivers are up to date
Mainboard:
Model: X99-DELUXE II
Chipset: Intel X99
