Deal | WD Black SN850X 4TB SSD gets colossal Black Friday discount on Amazon

As a direct competitor the well-known Samsung 990 Pro, the American storage manufacturer Western Digital is also offering a high-end storage solution that is particularly popular among demanding users. Just like its South Korean counterpart, the WD Black SN850X is available with up to 4TB of storage capacity and has now been put on sale at Amazon, which is where SSD shoppers can now take advantage of a considerable Black Friday discount.

To be more precise, the WD Black SN850X with 4TB of storage is now available for US$229 including free shipping, which is the NVMe SSD’s lowest price ever on Amazon according to Camelcamelcamel's price tracker. Alternatively, the much more affordable 1TB model of the PCIe 4.0 module is also on sale for US$65, although this sale price appears to sit US$5 above the all-time low of this particular SKU. Either way, this Black Friday deal only applies to the heatsink-less variant of the WD Black SN850X, but bargain hunters can easily find a compatible cooling element from reputable brands like be quiet! for around US$13 on Amazon.

Admittedly, a few PCIe 5.0 SSDs that are already available can easily outpace the WD Black SN850X, but Western Digital’s PCIe 4.0 drive can still reach very respectable sequential read and write speeds of up to 7,300 megabytes per second and 6,600 MB/s, respectively. Moreover, the durable TLC NAND is rated to last for at least 2,400 TBW, but in the event of a premature failure, the 4TB SSD is covered by Western Digital’s five-year manufacturer warranty. Therefore, storage enthusiasts who are in the market for a fast and reliable solid-state drive might want to take this Black Friday offer into consideration.
