Come to find out Windows 11 starting with 24H2 has an HMB issue for this drive and the 2TB version. If you add this 1TB as a secondary drive with win11 24H2, beware.
A registry change limiting HMB buffer size to zero or 64 MB is the fix.
I put in a ticket with WD/Sandisk and they are investigating
Community Reviews
The WD Blue SN5000 1TB is a budget Gen 4 NVMe SSD that looks attractive for spare storage and everyday use, with the 2TB version described as fast and solid. The price history suggests this deal is lower than recent jumps, and the per terabyte cost is still seen as reasonable for the speed class. The main caution is a Windows 11 24H2 HMB issue on the 1TB when used as a secondary drive, which can misreport space until a registry change or firmware fix is applied. PS5 compatibility also looks borderline on speed, so it fits best where bare minimum Gen 4 performance is enough.
Common Questions (4)
Yes. When added as a secondary drive in Windows 11 24H2, it can misreport capacity or show unusable free space. Setting the HMB allocation policy in the registry to 0 or 2 (64MB) is reported to make it function correctly.
No updated firmware is reported for the 1TB model. The workaround described is a Windows registry change to the HMB allocation policy, while WD/SanDisk support has been investigating the issue.
It should be compatible as a PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD, but its 5,150 MB/s rated read speed is below the PS5's 5,500 MB/s minimum spec. That makes it a borderline choice for PS5 storage.
Qty 2 can error out at checkout, but placing two separate qty 1 orders reportedly works. That is the practical workaround if the cart rejects a multi-quantity order.

I also bought a 2TB at the time I got the first 1TB and the 2TB was okay from the start. It already had the latest FW.
Sandisk (they are WD's ssd division) has gone back and forth with me on the 1TB version, even calling me to get more info.
