I don't recommend this 4TB version since it's a Qlc drive. Better buy 4TB WD_BLACK SN7100 PCIe Gen 4 NVMe M.2 2280 Internal SSD for $209.99(only 10 more). However, 1 or 2 TB versions are TLC.

Well since the Samsung 990 Evo Plus 4 TB is currently on sale on Amazon for $199.99 and it's TLC instead of QLC, getting the Samsung over this would be a no brainer.

With how competitive pricing is becoming for higher tier 4TB NVME, I'd predict this particular drive to be $150 on Black Friday.

The delta between QLC and TLC will never be noticed by normal consumers. And with overprovisioning and multi-petabyte durability, it's unclear if these will ever fail unless you're using them on a database server or doing looped video recording.

if you care about reliability, buy an exos drive (or a few) and back the ssd up to it.

This WD drive has a rating of 1200 TBW (aka 1.2 PB), which arguably is *not* "multi-petabyte durability", while the Samsung has double the durability at 2400 TBW. In other words, the durability difference between them is quite substantial. Going with a QLC drive limited to only PCIe 4.0 x4 operation over a TLC drive with double the durability that can operate in PCIe 4.0 x4 or PCIe 5.0 x2 mode for exactly the same price would be silly.

I am in the market for something for looped video recording so this is very relevant to me.

Yes? This 4TB SSD is significantly lower quality than the higher tier 4TB SSDs now starting to get discounted to $200. A 4TB SSD of this caliber cannot sustain this price point when 4TB TLC NVMEs are hitting it.

I was thinking "why spend the extra cash for NVMe and just get a SATA SSD?" I had no idea that there was no price delta anymore between NVMe and SATA SSDs, which is just crazy.

Most SATA SSDs manufactured today are using the same ultra-fast NAND utilized for the NVME standard due to economies of scale, and that NAND speed is simply bottlenecked by the SATA protocol in a SATA based drive.

I need to upgrade my SSD in my computer. I would like to get 2TB currently 256 and I need to get more storage for my son's PS5 Would this work in both? Does anyone have any links on how to do it on a PC as well? I am barely a novice with this stuff and any help would be appreciated.

Weird that WD doesn't seem to sell it on their own site. Plenty of documentation about it, though.

WD doesn't manufacture SSDs anymore, focusing on HDD market exclusively. They are manufactured by SanDisk, but retain the WD branding.

So there are 2 types of SSDs, one is NVME and the other is SATA, typically, NVME looks like a stick of ram and SATA looks like a 2.5 inch hard drive in terms of form factor. PS5, must use a Gen 4 nvme drive, which this is. Whether or not your computer can use this depends on your computer in several ways, 1) does your computer current use NVME, 2) does it have an extra slot for nvme, and 3) if no to 1 and 2, do you have SATA. Slowest NVME is like 2-3 times faster than SATA minimum. If you are replacing a 256 (versus 250gb), it's almost certainly a ssd, just not sure if it's a sata or nvme. Also, look for a clone drive software so that you can move your Windows installation to the new drive. You may also need the tiny screw and possibly a standoff unless you kept those from when you built/bought the computer.

Yeah, it's annoying. They could sell older tech at larger capacities because that would be an acceptable trade-off for many use cases (ie: an 8TB SATA-based SSD for the price of a 4TB NVMe).
