Is this SSD suitable for gaming and handling large media files?

Yes, this SSD is suitable for gaming and handling large media files as it offers capacities up to 8TB, high read and write speeds (up to 7,300 MB/s and 6,600 MB/s respectively), and features like Predictive Loading and Adaptive Thermal Management.

Will the WD_BLACK 8TB SN850X NVMe Internal Gaming SSD Solid State Drive with Heatsink reach 7,300 MB/s sequential reading speeds? I’m seeing on other websites that it will not, and only the 1 TB, 2 TB, and 4 TB will; the label on Newegg says it will get that reading speed.

The insane speeds up to 7,300 MB/s are mentioned for the 1TB to 8TB models. However, for specific maximum sequential read speeds, it's stated as up to 7200 MBps.
