So it may not be your best bet if you’re looking for a PS5 SSD. Since this is a PCIe Gen 4 SSD, you’ll need a motherboard that supports PCIe Gen 4 technology if you want the speed benefits that the WD_Black SN770 offers. It is however backwards compatible with PCIe Gen 3 motherboards. Which means you can still use it in a PC that has one of those older boards if you want or need to do so.

For those looking to amp their PC gaming speeds up, this is a substantial upgrade from the SN750 SE. Western Digital says it’s 40% faster and 20% more power efficient. And in the end that’ll add up to faster load times for your games without drawing as much power. This new SSD also works for both desktops, as well as laptops that support expandable storage via M.2 drives. Better yet, is that the drive comes in four sizes. Starting at 250GB you can pick the SN770 up for as little as $59.99. There’s also a 500GB option at $79.99, a 1TB option at $129.99, and a 2TB option at $269.99. Compare that to the SN850 2TB model which is $309.99. While not as fast as the SN850, it’s more affordable for the same sizes and should give your gaming a noticeable boost. WD_Black SN770 NVMe SSD
