Manufacturer-identified specifications

Product / MPNWD_BLACK SN850P 2 TB for PS5 (WDBBYV0020BNC-WRSN) — WDBBYV0020BNC-WRSN
Capacity / form factor2 TB; M.2 2280, factory heatsink, single-sided M.2 card.
Interface / lane widthPCIe 4.0 x4.
ProtocolNVMe.
Rated performance / enduranceUp to 7,300 MB/s sequential read (2 TB SKU); exact sequential write and endurance not repeated here because the linked product listing does not expose a capacity-specific line for both values.
Heatsink / revision caveatFactory-installed heatsink on this PS5-branded SKU. Use the PS5 M.2 bay as specified; do not stack the console cover/spacer incorrectly or add another heatsink. This is the PS5-oriented SN850P, distinct from the existing SN850X and SN850P bare/other capacity SKUs. Sony PS5 console software and installation instructions determine console use; PC fit does not imply console clearance. Manufacturer/console compatibility applies to the exact MPN.

Compatibility, installation & service

  • Follow Sony’s PS5 M.2 storage installation guide and the SN850P product instructions for console firmware, slot screw/spacer, cover closure and minimum performance requirements. Power the console fully off before fitting. On PC, verify 2280 PCIe/NVMe support and heatsink clearance. Avoid removing the factory thermal solution and back up before service.
  • This is the PS5-oriented SN850P, distinct from the existing SN850X and SN850P bare/other capacity SKUs. Sony PS5 console software and installation instructions determine console use; PC fit does not imply console clearance. Manufacturer/console compatibility applies to the exact MPN.
  • Confirm host boot mode, OS NVMe support, CPU lane generation, socket length/keying, power and controller/backplane qualification from the system manual; physical fit alone does not establish compatibility.
  • Before drive replacement, check backup integrity, encryption keys, firmware settings, recovery media and array rebuild plans. Use electrostatic-discharge precautions and never hot-remove unless the host documentation explicitly supports it.
