The WD Black SN850X is one of the best high-end NVMe SSDs out there, but this performance and plenty of storage doesn’t come cheap. Well, not until now.
The good news for Amazon Prime Day is that the SN850X’s prices have plummeted, with a 1TB model coming in at just $54 and a massive 4TB model slashed from $699 to $229, which is pretty impressive for high-performance storage. Great value for money.
According to Western Digital, this drive reaches read speeds of 7,300 MB/s and write speeds of 6,600 MB/s. The SN850X series drives are highly durable and boast ratings up to 2,400 TBW. It also comes with a long-term warranty of 5 years.
The SN850X doesn’t carry the PlayStation 5 badge, but it’s still one of the best SSDs for the PlayStation 5, and significantly cheaper than the PS5-licensed WD Black SN850P. The only downside to the SN850X is that it doesn’t come with a heatsink and is recommended for use with Sony’s PlayStation 5.
The WD Black SN850X series is a powerful high-end PCIe 4.0 SSD. Performance is close to the highest level in almost every category. Luckily, we reviewed his 1TB drive and got all the test results and details you need for your purchase.
