Amazon has just slashed the price on the massive 8TB WD Black SN850X PCIe Gen4 M.2 NVMe SSD to an all-time low of $533.10. This deal is even better than the Black Friday offer by about $42, making it a stellar opportunity to get your hands on such a high-capacity, high-performance solid state drive.

WD Black SN850X 8TB PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 SSD

Originally priced at $879.99, you can now save 39% and grab it for just $533.10 at Amazon. The SN850X represents the cutting edge of WD's flagship Black series M.2 SSDs. It boasts top-tier performance with sustained read speeds up to 7,300MBps and write speeds up to 6,600MBps. It also offers impressive random read speeds of up to 1,200K IOPS and write speeds of 1,100K IOPS, outpacing its predecessor, the SN850, thanks to advanced BiCS5 flash chips and updated firmware. Plus, it comes with a reassuring five-year warranty.

If you're planning to integrate this into your gaming PC, you'll appreciate the included Game Mode 2.0 utility software, which optimizes the SSD for peak gaming performance. With an 8TB capacity, this is the largest mainstream solid state drive currently available, providing ample space for your operating system, applications, and a vast library of games.

For PlayStation 5 users, the SN850X is also a great choice. It matches Sony's specifications for PS5 SSDs, including the M.2 2280 form factor, speeds over 5,500MB/s, and a PCI-E Gen4x4 interface. While it doesn't come with a pre-installed heatsink, you can easily add one for around $7. However, considering the cost, it's worth pondering whether this investment is justified for your gaming needs.

Other SSD Deals to Consider

Samsung 990 Evo Plus 2TB PCIe Gen 4x4 M.2 SSD

Originally $184.99, now available for $129.99 at Amazon, this is an even better deal than what was seen during Black Friday. The Samsung 990 Evo Plus is perfect for both gaming PCs and the PS5, offering speeds up to 7,250MB/s read and 6,300MB/s write. While it's not as fast as the 990 Pro, it's a cost-effective alternative with its DRAM-less design, which also makes it energy-efficient and cool-running. A heatsink is optional but not necessary due to its low heat generation.

WD SN5000 4TB SSD for $199.99

The WD SN5000 4TB PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 SSD is another great find at $199.99, down from $299.99, representing a 33% discount.
