As a basis, a three-layer 3D TLC NAND flash memory is used, support for the NVMe interface and the now in-demand PCI-E 4.0 bus is announced, which significantly expands the device's bandwidth compared to previous generation drives.

The sequential read and write speeds declared by the manufacturer are 7300 and 6300 MB / s, respectively. These are serious specifications that can meet the requirements of most gamers, photographers, coders, designers and VFX specialists who need to record and transfer large amounts of data from one PC to another on a regular basis. Gamers can additionally activate a special mode Gaming Mode 2.0, which automatically detects the type of game and activates things like Predictive Loading and Adaptive Thermal Management at the firmware level.

The use of a massive heatsink in the drive allows you to reduce possible speed drops when transferring large amounts of data. The heatsink performs a cooling function, preventing overheating of drive components, including flash memory and the control controller. This ensures more stable operation and prevents potential performance issues associated with overheating. The only negative is that the heatsink turned out to be extremely dense and wide, so it is unlikely to fit into a thin laptop or compact ultrabook. The highest quality level of the WD Black SN850X is confirmed by the official five-year warranty from the manufacturer and an impressive overwriting resource of 600 TB.
