WD_BLACK SN850X (4 TB)
A pro-tier 4TB Gen4 NVMe, the 4TB SN850X targets big-library, single-drive builds where you'd rather not juggle multiple SSDs. It carries the proven SN850X gaming pedigree at the capacity end of the range. For anyone whose priority is housing a large game and media library on one fast drive without dropping to a slower HDD, this is the high-capacity option in the line.
