8TB WD Black SN850X SSD Hits All-Time Low Price

Amazon is currently offering the lowest price I've seen on a massive 8TB solid state drive. Today, you can snag the WD Black SN850X 8TB PCIe Gen4 M.2 NVMe SSD for just $533.10, including shipping. This is a steal, being about $42 less than the best deal during Black Friday. It's an incredible price for such a large amount of high-speed storage packed into a single flash-based drive.

The SN850X represents the latest generation of WD's flagship Black series M.2 SSDs. Renowned for its top-tier performance, it boasts sustained read speeds up to 7,300MBps, write speeds up to 6,600MBps, and impressive random read and write speeds of 1,200K IOPS and 1,100K IOPS, respectively. The SN850X outpaces its predecessor, the SN850, thanks to newer BiCS5 flash chips and updated firmware. Additionally, it comes with a reassuring five-year warranty.

For gamers looking to install this in their PC, the included Game Mode 2.0 utility software optimizes the SSD for superior gaming performance. With 8TB, this drive offers the maximum capacity available in mainstream SSDs, providing ample space for your operating system, applications, and a vast library of games.

The SN850X is also a fantastic choice for PlayStation 5 users, as it meets all of Sony's PS5 storage expansion criteria, including M.2 2280 form factor, a minimum speed of 5,500MB/s, and a PCI-E Gen4x4 interface. While a heatsink isn't included, one can be added for just $7. However, investing in storage expansion that costs as much as the console itself might not be the best financial decision.
