100%, so far anyways. The WD Black was recommended by Mark Cerny. I did a lot of research as well and went with this one, the only other option I'd recommend would be Samsungs 980pro. Keep in mind this does not have the heatsinks which are recommended/required.

Yes it is. You will have to get a heat sink for it if you get one without. Heat sink is about $10-20

Yes it does, I recently installed this no problem. Just be sure to buy a 3rd party heat sink with it. You could melt your system down the road if you don’t.

Yes, it’s 100% compatible with PS5. I installed it in mine, and it’s great. It’s the drive specifically recommended by The PS5’s designer. My first drive was defective, so I had to return it for replacement. The replacement worked perfectly.

Yes, but you will need to purchase a separate heatsink for it. I got the NVMe one on Amazon for $12 that was recommended by tech sites.

Hello, Please be informed “Based on Sony’s published requirements, we can confirm our WD_BLACK SN850 NVMe SSD with Heatsink (500GB-2TB) meets the stated requirements to expand console storage on the PlayStation 5 for those with access to the PlayStation 5 Beta software. Compatibility testing is in progress.” We will upgrade that to yes it works once we are able to complete compatibility testing. It is important to not push non-heatsink since Sony specified heatsink version.
