Hello, just picked up an WD Black SN850 1TB. Went for the COD special edition as I found it cheaper than the standard version and comes with free COD points (so why not).
It is advertised with a sticker label as seen here https://shop.westerndigital.com/pro...l-of-duty-edition-nvme-ssd#WDBB2F0010BNC-WRSN
Well this is what I got
Most obvious thing is that the labelling is different. I do think it is a bit of false advertising as all official product images show a very large and clean COD design and, if someone wanted it then they might be disappointed.
For me the most annoying thing is that the label isn't straight, and there is a slight scratch on the sticker. I know this won't affect the performance of the drive and I'm going to put a heatsink on it anyway but as this is a very premium/high end drive I would have thought that more attention would be paid to these things.
Anyway thought it would be nice to show what the drive looks like in real life as I can't find any unboxings/reviews of this edition specifically.
TLDR - Label design is different to official images. My label is slightly crooked and scratched. :/
