An 8TB NVMe SSD is one of the costliest upgrades that you can ever make to supplement the storage of your PC, laptop or Sony’s PS5, but given the storage requirements these days of programs and games, this upgrade can become a necessity. Fortunately, not all purchases have to be pricey ones, not when the WD_BLACK SN850X is the most affordable 8TB SSD that you can get on Amazon. At $679.99, it sure is not as affordable as it was during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but at 24 percent off, it is still cheaper than when it first launched.
Best of all, it supports the PCIe NVMe Gen 4 standard, meaning that apart from offering heaps and heaps of storage, it can reach speeds of up to 7,200MB/s, so performance bottlenecks will be the least of your worries. What will worry you is how long this 8TB SSD will reach you because the listing on Amazon says that this version of the WD_BLACK SN850X will usually take between 1-2 months to ship. Assuming you cannot wait that long, we have an alternative for you and one that will cost less than $10 extra.
That alternative is the WD_BLACK SN850P, which is currently available on Amazon for $682.84, making it the second-most affordable NVMe SSD listed on the online retailer that carries 8TB of storage. As for the shipping, you will get it before Christman, meaning that it will arrive just in time when you have everything set up to enjoy the holidays. Bear in mind that it will take a few years for 8TB NVMe solid-state drives to pick up in popularity, so for now, you will have to take advantage of these price cuts.
