8TB WD Black SN850X SSD Hits Record Low Price

May 21,25

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 with free shipping. That's a steal at $42 less than the best deal during Black Friday, making it an incredible value for such a high-capacity flash-based drive.

The SN850X represents the latest in WD's flagship Black series of M.2 SSDs, delivering top-tier performance with 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. Thanks to newer BiCS5 flash chips and updated firmware, it outperforms its predecessor, the SN850. Plus, it comes with a reassuring five-year warranty.

For gamers looking to enhance their PC, the included Game Mode 2.0 utility software optimizes the SSD for superior gaming performance. With a whopping 8TB capacity, the largest available in a mainstream SSD, you'll have more than enough room for your operating system, applications, and an extensive library of games.

The SN850X is also a perfect match for your PlayStation 5, matching the specs of Sony's officially licensed WD SN850P SSD. It meets all of Sony's PS5 requirements, including the M.2 2280 form factor, a minimum speed of 5,500MB/s, and a PCI-E Gen4x4 interface. While it doesn't come with a preinstalled heatsink, you can add one for just $7. However, investing as much in storage as you did in the console itself might not be the most cost-effective choice.
