The unthinkable has just happened on Amazon; just when you thought that the 8TB version of the WD_BLACK SN850X PCIe NVMe Gen 4 could not get any cheaper, we have been graced by a huge surprise, as the online retailer has introduced a ‘bazooka’ of a deal. The high-capacity and high-speed solid-state drive is now available at its lowest price ever of $511.78, resulting in a 42 percent discount. The absolute lowest that we have seen the 8TB SSD drop was $549.99, but the latest deal takes the cake.
Now, if you were to purchase two 4TB WD_BLACK SN850X SSDs on Amazon for $279.99, these would provide you with less value than a single 8TB stick. Best of all, you will not experience any speed compromises as the drive supports the PCIe NVMe Gen 4 standard. This means that the SN850X can reach speeds of 7,200MB/s, ensuring that every program, whether games or applications, will fire up in the blink of an eye. If you have a limited number of M.2 slots to work, which is the case if you own a PS5 or laptop, the 8TB version will be your best bet.
It is important to note that the latest discount is applicable on the version that ships without a heatsink. If you want the WD_BLACK SN850X with the cooler, that will set you back by $624.99 on Amazon, making it a whopping $113.21 difference. It makes perfect sense to ignore the heatsink version and grab yourself the 8TB drive and apply an aftermarket heatsink solution yourself, assuming you want to avail yourself the best savings. Unfortunately, nobody, including us, can validate the longevity of this discount, and since the 8TB WD_BLACK SN850X is available at its lowest price to date, there is no time like the present to grab it immediately.
Update: Those who managed to grab the 8TB WD_BLACK SN850X were quick enough because, sadly, Amazon has raised the price of the SSD to $598.98. When there is another price cut, we will inform ou readers.
