WD_Black is a brand that’s become synonymous with thebest PS5 SSDs. Not only does Western Digital’s gaming offshoot dominate with its generic M.2 drives, it is the manufacturer behind the officialPlayStationcollection too.
Now it’s announced a new model in that particular lineup and boy is it pushing out the boat. The new WD_Black SN850P not only sports the PlayStation logo and is thereforeSonyapproved for use in its console, it also now comes with an incredible 8TB of storage space.
That’s enough, claims the company, to fit up to 200 games, (or one Call of Duty, fnar).

Clearly, as games became bigger in scope and, subsequently, file size, so too did demands for extra storage.
You have to be a pretty dedicated PS5 gamer to treat yourself with the 8TB SN850P, though, as it doesn’t come cheap. In fact,at £959.99 / $999you could buy yourself two PlayStation 5 consoles and still have change.
You do get a month’s free subscription to PlayStation Plus Premium (Deluxe in Australia), but that’s hardly going to make that much a difference.

Still, if you really need that storage space and want to keep all components on the official side, at least you now have the option.
“We’re proud to expand the WD_Black SN850P lineup for the PlayStation 5 console to meet the capacity and performance needs of today’s gamers,” said Western Digital’s vice president of consumer products, Susan Park.
