8TB WD Black SN850X SSD Hits Record Low Price

Amazon is currently offering the lowest price I've ever seen on a massive 8TB solid state drive. Today, you can snag the WD Black SN850X 8TB PCIe Gen4 M.2 NVMe SSD for just $533.10, including shipping. This is a whopping $42 less than the best deal during Black Friday, making it an exceptional value for such extensive storage in a compact, flash-based drive.

The SN850X represents the cutting-edge of WD's flagship Black series M.2 SSDs. This top-tier SSD boasts impressive performance with sustained read speeds up to 7,300MBps and write speeds up to 6,600MBps, alongside random read speeds of up to 1,200K IOPS and write speeds of 1,100K IOPS. It outperforms its predecessor, the SN850, thanks to advanced BiCS5 flash chips and updated firmware. Plus, it comes with a reassuring five-year warranty.

For gamers looking to install this in their PC, the included Game Mode 2.0 utility software optimizes the SSD for superior performance during gaming sessions. At 8TB, this is the largest capacity available in a mainstream solid-state drive, providing ample space for your operating system, applications, and an extensive library of games.

The SN850X is also a perfect match for your PlayStation 5, supporting up to 8TB of maximum storage. It meets all of Sony's PS5 SSD requirements, including the M.2 2280 form factor, a minimum speed of 5,500MB/s, and a PCI-E Gen4x4 interface. Although a heatsink isn't included, you can add one for just $7. However, spending as much on storage expansion as the console itself might not be the best financial decision for everyone.

Samsung's latest SSD, the 990 Evo Plus 2TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe solid state drive, is available today for $129.99, a price even lower than during Black Friday. This drive is ideal for both gaming PCs and PlayStation 5 consoles, offering speeds of up to 7,250MB/s read and 6,300MB/s write.
