8TB WD Black SN850X SSD Hits Record Low Price

Amazon is currently offering an unbeatable deal on a massive 8TB solid state drive. The WD Black SN850X 8TB PCIe Gen4 M.2 NVMe SSD is available for just $533.10, including shipping. This price is approximately $42 less than the best deal we saw during Black Friday, making it an exceptional value for such an expansive storage solution in a single flash-based drive.

The SN850X represents the latest in WD's flagship Black series M.2 SSDs. It's a top-tier SSD renowned for its performance, boasting sustained read speeds up to 7,300MBps, write speeds up to 6,600MBps, random read speeds up to 1,200K IOPS, and write speeds up to 1,100K IOPS. This model outperforms its predecessor, the SN850, thanks to newer BiCS5 flash chips and updated firmware. It also comes with a reassuring five-year warranty.

For gamers looking to install this in their PC, WD includes the Game Mode 2.0 utility software, which optimizes the SSD for enhanced gaming performance. With a capacity of 8TB, this is the largest mainstream solid state drive available, providing ample space for your operating system, applications, and virtually any game you can think of.

Notably, the SN850X is also an excellent choice for your PlayStation 5 console, matching Sony's officially licensed WD SN850P SSD. It meets all of Sony's PS5 specifications, including a M.2 2280 form factor, a minimum speed of 5,500MB/s, and a PCI-E Gen4x4 interface. Although a heatsink isn't included, you can purchase one for just $7. However, consider whether spending as much on storage as you did on the console itself is a wise investment.

Samsung's latest offering, the Samsung 990 Evo Plus 2TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe SSD, is on sale for $129.99, even lower than Black Friday prices. This SSD is ideal for both gaming PCs and PlayStation 5 consoles, offering speeds of up to 7,250MB/s read and 6,300MB/s write. While it's faster than the non-Pro 990 Evo, it doesn't quite reach the speeds of the 990 Pro. A key feature is that it's a DRAM-less drive, which makes it energy-efficient and generates less heat, potentially eliminating the need for a heatsink.
