Amazon is not the only dealer who has the WD Black SN850 on offer. Amazon may even have only drawn with deals at cyberport and Alternate , where the SSD also costs just 129.90 euros. However, since there are still quite high shipping costs there, you are still better off at Amazon.
How good is the WD Black Sn850 Pro?
Well suited for PS5: The WD Black SN850 is an NVME SSD with form factor M.2 that easily fits the PS5. With a maximum reading speed of 7,000 MB/s and a writing speed of up to 5,300 MB/s, it is also fast enough for Sony’s console. For use in the PS5, an SSD should have a reading speed of at least 5,500 MB/s.
Faster than Samsung 980 Pro: As an alternative to the WD Black SN850, you can also get the Samsung 980 Pro on offer at Amazon, which is even a little cheaper with 127.99 euros for 1 TB. However, the WD Black SN850 is a bit faster, but in benchmarks it usually cuts at least a few percent better. This is not a big difference, but big enough to justify almost two euros surcharge.

No heatink: The version of the WD Black SN850 offered by Amazon does not have a Heatsink. Therefore, you should buy a heat sink separately and attach yourself, otherwise there may be overheating and crashes. Before buying, however, you should make sure that the heatink is not too big for the PS5. Here is a small selection of suitable models:
Sabrent M.2 NVME PS5 Heatsink *
Advancing Gene, Universal Type
Be quiet! MC1 (Important: Don’t buy the Pro, it’s too high)
EC360 Aluminum M.2 SSD Cooler *
Eluteng M.2 2280 SSD Cooler *
* Glotrends M.2 cooler
