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 an impressive $42 less than the best deal we saw during Black Friday, making it a fantastic price for this amount of storage in a single flash-based drive.

WD Black SN850X 8TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD for $533

WD Black SN850X 8TB PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 SSD

Originally priced at $879.99, you can now save 39% and get it for $533.10 at Amazon. The SN850X represents the latest generation of WD's flagship Black series M.2 SSDs, delivering top-tier performance. It boasts sustained read speeds of up to 7,300MBps and write speeds of 6,600MBps, along with 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.

If you're planning to use this SSD in your gaming PC, you'll benefit from the included Game Mode 2.0 utility software, which optimizes the SSD for enhanced gaming performance. With a capacity of 8TB, this drive offers the largest mainstream solid state storage available, providing more than enough space for your operating system, applications, and virtually every game you could ever want to download.

The SN850X is also an excellent choice for expanding storage in your PlayStation 5 console, matching Sony's officially licensed WD SN850P SSD. It meets all of Sony's PS5 storage recommendations, 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 purchase one for just $7. However, considering the cost, spending as much on storage expansion as the console itself might not be the most economical choice.

Other SSD Deals to Consider

Originally $184.99, you can now save 30% and get it for $129.99 at Amazon.
