A massive discount on high-capacity solid-state drives and that too, at the end of the year, is always a surprise that hits differently, but it could not have come at a better time, particularly for those looking to upgrade their existing storage with either a 4TB or an 8TB SSD. On Amazon, the WD_BLACK SN850X series has received attractive price cuts and now starts from $259.99 for the 4TB version and $579.99 for the 8TB variant.
Keep in mind that before this deal became active, the 8TB PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSD was available for $649.99 without the heatsink, so to see that you can avail some savings is always pleasant. While the majority of buyers will not let the opportunity slip to get the 4TB solid-state drive at a discount, the absolute ballers out there will do whatever it takes to become the proud owner of the 8TB version. After all, if you have limited M.2 slots to expand your storage, you will try to maximize your existing space with higher-capacity SSDs.
It is not every day that a lightning-fast PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSD with speeds of up to 7,200MB/s and a capacity of 8TB is available for less than $600, but it appears that just before the year ends, you have a stroke of good luck on your side. Thanks to the increased speeds, the WD_BLACK SN850X can be outfitted on your desktop, laptop, or any PS5. However, for Sony’s console, we highly recommend purchasing an aftermarket heatsink or getting the WD_BLACK SN850X version that ships with the passive cooler.
Sure, you must pay $599.99 for it and stock is limited at the time of writing, but it will save you the time for when you actually get the heatsink delivered to your doorstep. Once again, we will reiterate that PS5 owners should get the WD_BLACK SN850X version with the heatsink pre-attached. For PCs and laptop owners, there will always be an accessory that ships with these machines, saving you some funds. There is no telling when these price cuts will last, but if this is a part of Amazon’s ‘year end’ sale, the discounts will likely expire before 2024 ends.
