Deal | WD Black SN850X SSD with 8TB hits best price ever on Amazon

1TB and 2TB solid-state drives are a dime a dozen these days, but these M.2 SSDs might not provide enough capacity for power users who are working with huge files on a regular basis. For this exact target group, the American storage brand Western Digital is offering the WD Black SN850X with a gigantic 8TB of storage space.

This top-end PCIe 4.0 SSD is usually priced at a whopping $879, which is certainly unattainable for the vast majority of prospective buyers. Fortunately, Amazon has now introduced a massive discount on the WD Black SN850X 8TB SSD, which drops its price to an all-time low of $649 including free shipping. Most importantly, this noteworthy SSD deal on Amazon provides 26% or $230 in savings compared to the official list price.

Aside from the massive 8TB capacity, the WD Black SN850X is a very capable SSD in terms of speed as it can reach up to 7,200 MB/s during sequential read processes. Sequential writing takes place at up to 6,600 MB/s, which means that this M.2 NVMe SSD is quick enough to be used as a primary drive in laptops, desktop computers and even Sony's PlayStation 5 Pro.

Buyers should note that the WD Black SN850X is shipped without a heatsink in this case, so users who are looking to optimize their new 8TB SSD's thermals should invest in a compatible cooler, such as the Be Quiet! MC1 Pro (from $16 on Amazon). Thanks to an endurance rating of 4,800 TBW, the WD Black SN850X SSD can be a suitable investment for professional content creators or other storage-hungry users who can live with the fact that 8TB SSDs are still a fairly expensive piece of technology these days, despite this latest price cut.
