If you've ever experienced the headache of having to uninstall one game to install another, you know what we're talking about. Fortunately, there are storage solutions that allow you to push the limits. Check out Western Digital's.
The WD_BLACK SN850P, perfect for the PS5
On PS5, one of the most advanced storage solutions is the WD_BLACK SN850P from Western Digital. Designed under official PlayStation license, it is therefore perfect for this console. This is not a simple SSD: it is an NVMe PCIe 4.0 model, designed to take full advantage of the capabilities of Sony's console. Why is this important? Because the PS5 relies on a very fast storage system, capable of reading and writing data at high speeds. The SN850P, with its 7,300 MB/s sequential read, perfectly meets these requirements.
The gain is as practical as it is obvious: in a few minutes, you go from 825 GB to 1 TB, 2 TB, or even 4 TB of available space. And don't worry about installation: the SSD is compatible with the expansion slot provided by Sony, and its integrated heat sink ensures optimal performance even after hours of intense gaming. 5-year warranty.
The WD_BLACK™ C50 expansion card for your Xbox Series X or S
For Xbox Series X/S players, the challenge is a little different. Unlike the PS5, these consoles do not allow the addition of standard SSDs. Western Digital has therefore designed, specifically for this console, and under official Xbox license, the WD_BLACK™ C50 expansion card.
This card offers a compact design, directly compatible with the console's dedicated port. Performance-wise, we're talking top-of-the-range: the NVMe protocol used here allows for speeds comparable to the Xbox's internal storage, ensuring near-zero loading times and seamless transitions in games.
But beyond the numbers, what's impressive is the ease of use. You plug in the WD_BLACK™ C50 expansion card, and it's immediately recognized as a natural extension of your storage. No formatting required, no complicated setup. In terms of capacity, the WD_BLACK™ C50 expansion card is available in 512GB, 1TB, or 2TB, which leaves plenty of room to install your favorite games without a second thought. The WD_BLACK™ C50 expansion card comes with a 5-year warranty.
SanDisk microSD cards are also perfect for the Nintendo Switch
On the Nintendo Switch side, storage needs and solutions are, once again, very different. Here, we're talking about microSD cards, and SanDisk has established itself as a must-have for gamers.
Why are these cards so popular? First of all, they're specifically optimized for the Switch, which means they offer read and write speeds perfectly suited to the demands of games. Let's take a concrete example: the SanDisk microSDXC UHS-I card, designed under Nintendo license and specifically dedicated to its console, offers a read speed of up to 100 MB/s. This allows for fast loading, even on demanding titles like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Capacity-wise, there's plenty to look forward to: cards range from 64GB for casual gamers to 1TB for those who want to keep everything, from their AAA titles to the smallest indies. And of course, with the official Nintendo license, compatibility is 100% guaranteed. Not to mention their very neat design, since the cards are stamped Zelda, Mario or Animal Crossing. The little extra? They come with a lifetime warranty.
