At $599.99, the 8TB version of WD_BLACK SN850X was already oozing a near-perfect blend of value and performance, but Amazon’s Black Friday 2024 sale conjured up another surprise in the form of an additional price cut that has reduced the PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSD price to $549.99. This makes the SN850X one of the best high-capacity solid-state drives available right now, and if you only want to populate just one M.2 slot because you intend to occupy the other at a later time, there is no better opportunity than right now.
The increase in capacity will not have any drawbacks to the performance because the WD_BLACK SN850X can reach speeds of up to 7,200MB/s thanks to supporting the PCIe NVMe Gen 4 protocol. However, you should be reminded to install this drive in a Gen 4 M.2 slot if you want to take advantage of all the speed perks. Furthermore, given that this 8TB SSD supports a standard form factor, it will fit not just on your desktop or laptop but also on your PS5, making it a versatile upgrade.
Looking at the record-low price at this time, it is safe to assume that the $549.99 price will only be valid until Amazon’s Black Friday 2024 sale lasts then it will possibly shoot up to $699.99, making it less of a value proposition. Our recommendation is that you do not wait for Cyber Monday 2024 to kick off and take your shot this instant. It is not every day that a whopping 8TB SSD gets discounted to an exceptionally low price, but you can only count yourself lucky if you make a purchase immediately.
