Bought this on last weeks sale.
Make sure to use the Recycling promotion to give you a 15% discount towards Western Digital or san disk ssds.
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/recy...8281022996

I had ordered a WDSN850 online, none of the stores near me were in stock. Once it got here, went to store and recycled an 8gb usb flash drive, got the paper discount and the customer service rep returned and rerang it up with the discount right then and there.

Final price was $127.99 before taxes for the 1TB SN850.
That coupon is the epiphany of best buys customer service. Why is it that it takes 45 minutes to recycle a device and make a coupon work. Their system didn't show it, they give excuses why they don't want to honor it, then when you say why did I just give you an SSD then they call a manager over who says they have no control over any decision making in store at all. After 45 minutes of waiting and three associates and a manager late you save $20 wow

Why did I throw away a box of old and broken hard drives?

Got the printout. Employees at the front couldn't quite figure out how to make the promo work for traded in hard drives. Think the lady who took a stab at it saw my "Under cell phones" note I'd written on the screenshot printout of the deal and just entered it as a traded in phone haha.

Check your Chase offers as well. I got a Best Buy offer like
"Earn 10% back on all of your Best Buy purchases, until a $25.00 back maximum is reached."

In real world tests there is almost no difference between SSD speed.

For example. Game loading
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COofLeqk_tM

this one is interesting because it includes things like windows loading and a driver install
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mBHIHmnuQ4
Only the driver install showed a significant difference, and thats nvme vs sata

more game loading testing

I brought this drive already from my local Best Buy and it's totally worth it. I think 1gb is the sweet spot. 2GB seems way to expensive. FOR PS5 DONT FORGET to get a heat sink. I got this one from Amazon and installed in under ten mins. MHQJRH M.2 2280 SSD heatsink, Double-Sided Heat Sink, with Thermal Silicone pad for PC / PS5 M.2 PCIE NVMe SSD or M.2 SATA SSD https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KDDK...VGW7B1ARW7

What's the difference between this product and this extremely similar one at Best Buy: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/wd-w...Id=6474398


Is it just that there is a heat sink included? Is this one equally compatible with a PS5?

That model is brand new catering toward the ps5 crowd.

Meaning, the marketing is PS5-centric, but the only difference is that it includes the heat sink?

There is no difference besides the heat sink. Save money and buy the heat sink separately.

Building a desktop currently.
Is this worth getting over the $80 Sandisk 1Tb one on sale at best buy currently? Will the performance be noticeably better?
