For months, the WD_BLACK SN850X was one of our ‘go to’ PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSDs in either the 4TB or 8TB capacities because chances are that this particular drive would always receive a price drop on Amazon. Now, the situation is a little different because it is the SN7100 that has been discounted on the online retailer, with the 4TB solid-state drive listed for $269.99. For a speedy PCIe NVMe Gen 4 drive, this is one solid offer that we have stumbled upon, and the fact that it is from WD_BLACK makes it even sweeter.
Like the SN850X, the SN7100 supports the newer NVMe protocol, and its maximum speeds can reach up to 7,000MB/s. As for the write speeds, those can reach 6,900MB/s, reaching up to 35 percent faster performance than previous-generation drives. Thanks to its increased bandwidth, WD_BLACK’s latest discounted SSD can be used in a plethora of machines, including the PS5, and that 4TB capacity should come in real handy if you have been having trouble installing a variety of games on those smaller 2TB or 1TB SSDs.
WD_BLACK claims that the endurance of the SN7100 can reach 2,400TBW, and with an average 4.8-star rating, this SSD is highly regarded amongst system builders and console owners. Currently, the $269.99 price listed on Amazon is the lowest figure for any WD_BLACK drive at this time, so you would do well to pick it up immediately. It will also be fruitful to peruse other 4TB solid-state drives in the aforementioned price bracket, because you never know what kind of a pleasant surprise you might find.
