After hovering around the $600+ mark, the 8TB version of the WD_BLACK SN850X has dropped to its second-best price of $599.99 on Amazon, making it an exceptional storage upgrade for those who are absolute ballers and want the highest capacity possible from a consumer-grade solid-state drive, or those who have a limited number of the M.2 slots but have the budget. Unfortunately, even if you tick all of the boxes, you have to muster up a ton of patience because the version without the heatsink will be delivered to your doorstep quite late.
In fact, the estimated delivery time on Amazon is between one to two months, with the fastest delivery happening between February 2 and March 7. While we can understand that availing the best price possible can mean that you are willing to wait a few weeks, there are those who wish to upgrade the storage on their desktop computer, laptop, or PS5 immediately. For those who have little to no patience, we have an alternative, and it will only require you to cough up $50 extra and it is in the form of the WD_BLACK SN850X 8TB SSD that ships with a heatsink.
Listed for $649.99 on Amazon, this version’s free delivery is estimated to happen by January 14, meaning that you can expect it to reach you by next week. Of course, the majority of readers know that there would have been a trade-off involved, but even if you place the order for the solid-state drive that comes without the heatsink, what are the chances that your drive actually gets delivered to you in that time frame? What if that estimated delivery time creeps upwards? What if your order gets canceled?
With so many variables and no concrete answers available, it is best to invest just a slightly higher sum and get a guaranteed delivery on the WD_BLACK SN850X. We are confident that you place your faith in our recommendation.
