High-capacity NVMe solid-state drives are one of the most expensive purchases, and their discounts are often rare. However, an upgrade to either a 4TB or 8TB SSD will relieve the anxiety levels that come with those ‘low storage’ warnings, and today, we have an exceptional offer in the form of the WD_BLACK SN850X 8TB PCIe NVMe SSD. Sure, readers with a sharp memory will remember that this exact model was listed on Amazon for $549.99, but we will remind you that this was during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale.
Now, the latest discount might be $100 higher at $649.99, but it is the lowest price for the SN850X outside of those epic sales, and if you were not able to capitalize on a purchase previously, you have another opportunity. The 8TB SSD will effortlessly fit in your laptop or desktop computer, and its impressive speeds mean that it will also be compatible with the PS5, with the ‘Slim’ version also discounted on Amazon and available at $424. However, you have to purchase a heatsink prior to installing the drive in the console to ensure that it does not overheat.
As for the speeds, the WD_BLACK SN850X can reach a maximum bandwidth of 7,200MB/s, which is pretty much the limit of the PCIe NVMe Gen 4 standard, and pair that with 8TB of storage will give you an incredible package just waiting to be picked up. Of course, it goes without saying that you should grab this deal up as quickly as possible because Amazon has a habit of spiking up the price when the stock starts to run low, so do not put yourself in this position, and act fast.
