A multitude of high-capacity PCIe NVMe Gen 4 solid-state drives are available from WD_BLACK, with the 4TB and 8TB versions of the SN850X ensuring that you expand your existing storage and forget worrying about low space for several years. Thanks to Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, these drives now start at $279.99, which is the lowest price for the year, and nets you a 4TB SSD that ships without a heatsink. Thankfully, gaming desktop and gaming laptop owners will not have to fret about this because their configuration already ships with passive heatsinks.
It is the PS5 owners that will have to grab the heatsink version of the WD_BLACK SN850X 4TB SSD, which is currently going for $299.99 after a 21 percent discount on the online retailer. Fortunately, this is not the only surprise you are getting because we have yet to tell you about the 8TB drives, which have received the maximum discount on Amazon, with the version without the heatsink available for $598.99 after a 32 percent price drop.
As for the heatsink version, that will set you back by $627.99, but if you wish to forget all of your storage woes, this is the upgrade you should make. After all, when it comes to 8TB consumer-grade PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSDs, these are the most affordable at this time. For those wondering about speeds, the WD_BLACK SN850X lineup can reach up to 7,200MB/s thanks to supporting the faster PCIe NVMe Gen 4 protocol and has exceptionally high durability, meaning that these will last you for years. What will not last is this discount, so make darn sure that you take advantage of the options below.
Update: Amazon’s Big Spring Sale might be over, but that does not mean the discounts on the WD_BLACK SN850X have been lifted.
