If you’ve ever run out of space on your PC for games or other types of files, then you know how frustrating that can be and it’s exactly why this deal on the WD_Black 8TB SN850X SSD is one worth considering. For starters, 8TB is a heck of a lot of space and it would be quite the challenge to run out of space when you have that much of it. That’s a feeling of relief that will give you peace of mind, knowing you don’t have to worry about juggling which files need to be kept. You won’t have to wonder about what you may need to delete to make room for new stuff.
Of course, what makes this such a good deal is the price. this 8TB SSD normally costs $879.99 when it’s available at full retail. However, right now it’s available for $599.99. This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen the 8TB model and it’s the all-time low price according to price tracking data from Camel Camel Camel.
So how much is 8TB of space really and how easy is it to fill up? Well, for comparison, I’m using the 4TB model (with the heatsink, this one comes without it) in my PS5 and have barely managed to get close to half of the storage size. Just imagine what you could do with double that amount. Now since this model doesn’t come with the heatsink, this is more suited to use within a PC. However, you could easily user this inside of a PS5 as long as you get a third-party heatsink to put on it.
In addition to the storage space, the WD_Black SN850X is extremely fast. It has sequential read and write speeds of up to 7,200 MB/s. That’s going to make a massive difference for load times in your games.
