The most affordable high-speed PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSD with 8TB capacity has now gone through another pricing update on Amazon, and those who were keeping track of the deal know that we are talking about none other than WD_BLACK’s SN850X. Previously available for $549.99 without the heatsink, this high-capacity drive has dropped to $545 on the online retailer. While that is not much of a difference, those who have yet to upgrade will find solace in that they get to avail of yet another phenomenal deal while upping the maximum storage of their system, be it a desktop or laptop computer or even a PS5.
Now, keep in mind that in order for you to avail the lowest price on the 8TB WD_BLACK SN850X, you need to opt for a third-party seller on Amazon, who goes by the name ‘2DaySale.’ Fortunately, if there is any problem with the SSD, you have a 30-day return window to obtain a full refund. An alternative is that the same solid-state drive is shipped and sold by Amazon for $549.99, with the plus side being that it will reach your doorstep earlier. With the latest offer, you have to wait until April 21 - April 30 to receive it.
Once you have successfully installed the drive, your storage problems will no longer appear for several years. Best of all, you do not have to worry about performance bottlenecks either because the 8TB version of the WD_BLACK SN850X can top out at 7,200MB/s, which is pretty much the limit of the PCIe NVMe Gen 4 protocol. For those wanting to expand their storage on a PS5, we recommend going for the heatsink version, as it too, is going through its discounted run and is currently available for $589.99.
