Finally! I've been waiting for WD_Black to make an 8TB NVME SSD! Now if I get a PS5 Pro (if that's a real thing) I can get an 8TB NVMe from WD_Black and be really set for the entire generation.

It's always so hard to find information on whether an NVMe drive is single or double-sided. Considering that many laptops only have room for single-sided drives, that seems like important information that should be front and center.
