What a buyer needs to know
Use it for: a compact build where you want more room for installed games. This is the 2TB storage option in our two Terra proposals; usable space will also hold the OS and updates. Check before buying: confirm M.2 2280 NVMe support and select the correct heatsink version. Sandisk offers this capacity with or without a heatsink. Follow the motherboard's cooling instructions and check clearance before combining it with an onboard M.2 cover. Evidence: the manufacturer lists a PCIe 4.0 interface. That specification does not establish real game loading times or Linux compatibility in our proposed machine. Check firmware guidance and compare current prices with other suitable capacities and drives. Specified variant for this proposal: WDS200T2X0E-00BCA0 without the factory heatsink. Match this model number at checkout; the heatsink version is a different SKU. Follow the motherboard cooling instructions and verify any added heatsink clearance.
