In another round of noteworthy discounts, the 1TB and 2TB versions of the DRAM-less WD Black SN770 have now been put on sale on Amazon, which offers the lowest prices ever for the well-performing PCIe 4.0 SSD that is suitable for most gamers and owners of a modern laptop.

Several consecutive months into a fast-paced decline in prices, the SSD market is still in shambles as even sought-after NVMe drives are continuously hitting new all-time low prices on an almost weekly basis. Fortunately, this consumer-friendly development has also turned the well-known WD Black SN770 into a pretty decent bang-for-the-buck option in the PCIe 4.0 segment.

Today, Amazon has introduced another considerable discount for the 1TB model of the aforementioned WD Black SN770, which can now be ordered on sale for US$55 including free shipping. This latest SSD deal offers a discount of 58 percent or US$75 in comparison to the original MSRP of this PCIe 4.0 storage module. Most importantly, Camelcamelcamel's price history illustrates that the WD Black SN770 has never been cheaper on Amazon, and its average price still stands at a much higher US$97. Alternatively, the 2TB model is available for US$110.

Prospective buyers of the WD Black SN770 should be aware of the fact that this M.2 drive does not sport a superfast DRAM, but it still achieves quick transfer speeds of up to 5,150 MB/s and 4,900 MB/s during sequential read and write processes. Furthermore, the 1TB variant has an endurance rating of 600 TBW, while the 2TB version should be able to deal with twice as much written data. Lastly, the storage module is also covered by a five-year limited manufacturer warranty. For laptop and desktop users who do not want to pay a premium for the slightly better performing flagship from Western Digital, this SSD deal on Amazon might be worth consideration.
