There is an error on the drive dimensions chart.
The 4TB and 8TB have 3.88mm height (thickness). I assume this means they are double-sided.
The height with heatsink is correct with 10.31mm

Sabrent’s similar offering is more expensive but fails to match the SN960X in speed metrics.

At this point in 2024, we only have the SN850X, time traveler.

Typical WD ripping off their customers, $50 for a heatsink, made from scrap piece of metal with a coating of heat resistant paint, that cost you a few cents on the BOM!
