According to the official product page, the WD Black SN850 is not intended for NAS or server use, so compatibility may vary depending on the hardware and operating system when installed on desktops and laptops. This drive is designed for PlayStation 5 use and requires that the console runs the software version 21.02-04.00.00 or later. It comes with a generous 5-year limited warranty and, for the time being, each purchase qualifies the buyer for 90 days of Amazon Music Unlimited. However, this deal only applies to new subscribers.

The WD Black SN850 NVMe SSD for PlayStation 5 consoles has a 4.8/5 general rating on Amazon with 2,736 user reviews and 59 answered questions, as well as a 4.4/5 on Western Digital's website, where it has only been reviewed by 101 customers so far.
