Update: Amazon is now offering the 2TB WD_BLACK SN850X NVMe Internal Gaming SSD down at the $159.99 shipped all-time low. This deal now joins the 1TB model below for the lowest totals we have tracked at Amazon. The 2TB variant delivers the same specs otherwise and typically sells for closer to $180 or more as of late.
If you’re looking for a nice upgrade for your gaming rig, Amazon is now offering the WD_BLACK 1TB SN850X NVMe Internal Gaming Solid-State Drive for $89.99 shipped. This model launched at $180 last summer before falling into the $140 and $150 range at the end of 2022. More recently we have seen it at $110 and $120 before it fell to $95 about a week ago with today’s deal delivering a new Amazon all-time low and the best price we can find. For further comparison, it now comes within $5 of the current sale price on the SN850X without the integrated heatsink (this is also an Amazon all-time low). The SN850X is compatible with both your PC or PS5 setup, providing up to 7,300MB/s speeds within your standard M.2 2280 form-factor. The Gen4 PCIe interface-equipped internal SSD on sale here today features an integrated heatsink for what WD calls Adaptive Thermal Management alongside predictive loading tech, and overhead balancing to maintain performance during intensive gaming sessions and more demanding settings on your PC. Hit up our hands-on review for a better idea of what to expect and head below for more details.
Update 5/8 @ 4:53 PM: Amazon is now offering the WD Green 480GB M.2 SATA Internal Solid-State Drive for $32.99 shipped. Down from a normal rate of $45, today’s deal comes in with 27% in savings and also delivers a new all-time low that we’ve tracked at Amazon.
As we mentioned above, of you drop down to the model without the heatsink to save an additional $5, but that or may not be worth the savings for some folks. If you don’t mind landing in the 5,150MB/s speed range, WD_BLACK 1TB SN770 is worth a look considering you can bring one home from Amazon right now at $60 shipped. There’s no heatsink, it’s not as fast, but it will upgrade your setup for $30 less.
