Weak points
An alternative
The WD Black SN770 1TB is a very good mid-range SSD. It offers both high and stable data rates. Its good thermal management ensures that it operates without a heat sink and without a drop in speed. The reliance on a PCIe 4 interface puts it a short head ahead of the best PCIe 3 SSDs. And while it can be used in a Sony PS5 console, it will still need to purchase a third-party heatsink.
