The PS5-compatible 2TB SSD from Western Digital sports a preinstalled heatsink and is one of the most popular choices in the PCIe 4.0 segment since the WD Black SN850X is not affected by firmware issues that certain competitors have suffered from.

Since the storage market leader Samsung had to deal with some unfortunate firmware issues that led to the premature failure of some of its most popular SSDs, many PC and laptop owners who value reliability may have shifted their focus to other manufacturers such as Western Digital, whose excellent WD Black SN850X 2TB SSD has now gone on sale at Amazon.

Specifically, the WD Black SN850X version with 2TB of storage capacity and a preinstalled heatsink is now available for US$159 on Amazon, which is the result of a gigantic discount of 48 percent or US$150 in comparison to the regular list price of this fast PCIe 4.0 SSD. Moreover, Camelcamelcamel's price history illustrates that this is Amazon's lowest sales price ever for this specific version of the popular WD Black SN850X. Alternatively, the heatsink-less variant is also on sale for US$10 less.

Similar to its South Korean competition, this NVMe drive features sequential read and write speeds of up to  7,300 and 6,350 megabytes per second, respectively. With that, the WD Black SN850X is officially compatible with Sony's PlayStation 5, and the 2TB SSD is a perfect fit since it already comes a heatsink that is small enough to fit into the console's compact M.2 compartment. Desktop users who are in dire need of a storage upgrade will also enjoy the lighting-fast speeds of this PCIe 4.0 drive, which makes this deal is a fantastic choice for everyone who does not want to fiddle around with aftermarket heatsinks.
