Amazon is offering an incredible deal on a massive 8TB solid-state drive. Grab the WD Black SN850X 8TB PCIe Gen4 M.2 NVMe SSD for just $533.10 with free shipping! That's roughly $42 less than its Black Friday price, making it an exceptional value for such a large capacity flash-based drive.

WD Black SN850X 8TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD for $533

$879.99 $533.10 at Amazon

The SN850X represents the latest generation of WD's premium Black series M.2 SSDs. It's a top-tier performer, boasting sustained read speeds up to 7,300MBps, write speeds up to 6,600MBps, random read speeds up to 1,200K IOPS, and write speeds of 1,100 IOPS. Upgrades over the SN850 include newer BiCS5 flash chips (compared to BiCS4) and updated firmware. This drive comes with a reassuring five-year warranty.

Gamers will appreciate the included Game Mode 2.0 utility software, designed to optimize performance during gameplay. With 8TB of storage, this SSD comfortably accommodates your operating system, applications, and virtually every game you'll ever download. It's also a fantastic choice for your PlayStation 5, fully meeting Sony's recommendations (M.2 2280 form factor, minimum 5,500MB/s speed, and PCI-E Gen4x4 interface). While a heatsink isn't included, you can easily add one for around $7. However, unless your budget is substantial, spending a significant amount on storage expansion comparable to the console's price might be a less-than-ideal financial decision.
