Western Digital has launched the WD Black SN850P PCIe 4.0 SSD lineup for the PlayStation 5. The SN850P is essentially a carbon copy of the SN850X, one of the best SSDs for Sony's console, with a different heatsink and PlayStation 5 license. The company recently released its WD Black C50 expansion cards for the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, so it was only fair to give the rivaling PlayStation 5 the same treatment.
The SN850P, officially licensed for the PlayStation 5, arrives with an aesthetically revamped heatsink that proudly exhibits the PlayStation logo. According to the manufacturer, the SSD features an "optimized" design for the console. The SN850P measures 3.15 x 0.96 x 0.39 inches (80 x 24.4 x 9.9 mm), so it's almost identical to the heatsink version of the SN850X, which has a 3.15 x 0.92 x 0.35 (80 x 23.4 x 8.9 mm) footprint. The SN850P is a little broader and taller than the SN850X.
