8TB WD Black SN850X SSD Hits Record 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 shipped. This is a staggering $42 less than the best deal we saw during Black Friday, making it an unbeatable price for such a high-capacity flash-based drive.

The SN850X represents the latest in WD's flagship Black series of M.2 SSDs. Renowned for its top-tier performance, this SSD boasts impressive sustained read speeds of up to 7,300MBps and write speeds of 6,600MBps, along with random read speeds of up to 1,200K IOPS and write speeds of 1,100K IOPS. Thanks to its advanced BiCS5 flash chips and updated firmware, it outperforms its predecessor, the SN850. Plus, it comes backed by a solid five-year warranty.

For gaming enthusiasts looking to install this in their PC, WD includes the Game Mode 2.0 utility software, which optimizes the SSD for peak performance during gaming. With a capacity of 8TB, this SSD offers more than enough space for your operating system, applications, and an extensive library of games.

The SN850X is also a fantastic option for PlayStation 5 users, matching 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 a heatsink isn't included, you can easily add one for just $7. However, considering the cost, using this much storage on a PS5 might not be the most budget-friendly choice.
