One of the biggest and baddest - in a good way - large-capacity SSDs is becoming more accessible than ever, thanks to a chunky new price cut that awards this 8TB SSD another all-time-low ticket price for Black Friday. This deal certainly isn't cheap and will only really apply or appeal to those who want a single high-capacity drive for systems with perhaps limited M.2 slots.
Today's deal sees the 8TB WD_Black SN850X fall to $599 at Newegg. This is the lowest-ever price this SSD has been on sale for and $50 less than its previous all-time low. The WD_Black SN850X combines the best of PCIe Gen 4.0 speeds with a whopping 8TB of capacity, ideal for storing a large library of games, or for accessing large video files for editing or other productivity applications.
We recently reviewed the 8TB version of the WD_Black SN850X and found that this no-compromise SSD was an excellent performer, with sequential read and write speeds of 7,200 MB/s and 6,600 MB/s respectively. The 8TB SN850X uses Kioxia 162-Layer TLC (BiCS6) flash memory and the proprietary Triton MP16+ B2 controller.
WD Black SN850X price comparison
As you can see from our price comparison chart between the different WD Black SN850X SSD capacity sizes, the cost of some of the smaller capacity SSDs has also dropped, meaning bigger isn't always the best deal. You can currently pick up 2 x 4TB SN850X SSDs for $518, which is $81 cheaper than the 8TB version. You could also pick up 4 x 2TB SN850X SSDs for $512, but, that's probably more SSDs than you have M.2 slots on your motherboard.
