8TB WD Black SN850X SSD Hits Record Low Price

Amazon is currently offering the lowest price I've ever 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. This deal beats the best price we saw during Black Friday by about $42, making it an unbeatable offer for this amount of high-speed storage in a single flash-based drive.

The SN850X represents the latest in WD's flagship Black series of M.2 SSDs. As a top-tier SSD, it boasts impressive 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. It outperforms the previous generation SN850, thanks to advanced BiCS5 flash chips and updated firmware. Plus, 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 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 a vast library of games.

The SN850X is also an excellent choice for PlayStation 5 users, as it matches Sony's specifications for PS5 SSDs, including a M.2 2280 form factor, speeds exceeding 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, spending as much on storage as the console itself might not be the most cost-effective choice for everyone.
