980pro2tb vs WDSN850X4tb CrystalDiskMark8 benches & temps. Just ran it 3 times in a row back to back if anyone is interested here's the results.

The top is 980pro2tb
The bottom is WDSN850X4tb
Similar performance a little here for one a little there for the other. Imo the WD drive is faster.
Temperatures are similar with a slight edge going to the Sammy by about an average of 3 degrees hotter for the WD. Possibly because the WD has 4tb with the 4 modules on both sides whereas the Sammy only has 2tb with only 2 modules on one side. This is my theory as to why it is a few degrees cooler my guess is the added memory warms it up just a bit more, more hardware equals more heat. Just my thoughts.
Both fantastic NVMe drives I love them both.

You can write in the bottom of the window, not sure if you are aware of that.

Was thinking of waiting for the 990 pro 4TB but sounds like performance will be similar to the WD.

I just ordered 2tb SN850X, good to know! I may swap it in place of the 980pro and put the 980pro in the PS5. Good stuff!

Good call! I was going to wait also but no good reason to. The 980 Pro is a damn good drive. Had tens of thousands of 5 star reviews.

You know I try not to go above 2TB per drive to prevent toooooooo much stuff or mindless games from being installed lol. Yeah game installs are ever freakin growing but it helps control the game hop syndrome and I try to beat one or 2 games at a time.
