The 4K write performance in AS SSD manages to flip this over, and the WD SN850 outpaces the Sabrent drive.
Writes are lower than the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus but still healthy, at either side of 5GB/s. The synthetic benchmarks, spearheaded by ATTO and AS SSD, show that this is very much a second-generation PCIe 4.0 drive, with peak sequential read speeds knocking on 6,750MB/s and 5,920MB/s, respectively. Performance ultimately defines any SSD the WD SN850 really stands out from the crowd. That's because it uses the latest PCIe 4.0 interface, which has double the theoretical bandwidth limit of other PCIe 3.0 drives. It can hit 7,000MB/s reads and 5,300MB/s writes in sequential transfers, which is well beyond most drives' capabilities. The Western Digital Black SN850 makes a fashionably late entrance to the PCIe 4.0 party. Anything bigger ends up being too expensive to be a practical choice unless you find a good 2TB or 4TB SSD on sale. And honestly, with games being so big nowadays, a 250GB SSD will fill up so much faster than you think. You'll notice that our picks for the best SSDs are pretty much just 1TB and 500GB drives anything smaller than that, while cheaper, suffers a drop in speed.
We've started using Windows 11 in our testing now too, so keep an eye out for that.

We've even used each SSD as the primary drive on a new install of Windows 10 to check its performance. It's a combination of real-world game loading tests and synthetic speed tests to find the best SSD for gaming. Once you see games like Skyrim or Red Dead Redemption 2 boot in seconds, not minutes, there truly is no going back.Įvery SSD here has gone through our intensive benchmarking suite. The speeds of an SSD against a standard spinning hard drive are night and day-the same with SATA drives and the best PCIe 4.0 SSDs.
