An 8TB SSD pretty much eliminates whatever storage bottleneck you are currently facing, and with games chewing up space like it was their daily routine, we will likely see more and more solid-state drives like the WD_BLACK SN850X arriving with similar capacities. However, where these SSDs were often priced above the $800 threshold, you have a solid opportunity of getting an 8TB drive without a heatsink for $599.99 on Amazon.
This is the second-lowest price we have seen for the WD_BLACK SN850X, and if you have limited M.2 slots, which is the case if you have a PS5 or a laptop, then this 8TB drive will come to save the day. Best of all, it is not like this solid-state drive only offers heaps and heaps of storage and nothing else because the WD_BLACK SN850X can reach speeds of up to 7,300MB/s thanks to supporting the newer PCIe NVMe Gen 4 protocol.
This standard is what allows the drive to be compatible with Sony’s latest and greatest console range, but it is also beneficial when running on a PC. Programs will load in the blink of an eye, with games and their textures loading up lightning-fast. Developers are optimizing their games for these ultra-fast SSDs, making it imperative that you own one. As for why you should try to secure a WD_BLACK SN850X 8TB drive for yourself, well, it is because we have seen the price fluctuate in 10 different directions.
In one instance, the 8TB SSD will be listed for $599.99, and in the very next moment, it could shoot up to $649.99. If you want the version that ships with the heatsink, that will set you back by $634.99, but you can simply purchase an aftermarket heatsink and call it a day.
Update - The WD_BLACK SN850X 8TB SSD without the heatsink now gets a $20 discount coupon, and if you tick it, the price will be reduced further to $579.99, making it one of the lowest prices for this drive. As for the version that ships with the heatsink, it receives a minor discount and can be yours for $634.99
