WD_BLACK’s 1TB SN850X 7,300MB/s heatsink SSD now down at $70, more

Update: Amazon is now offering the previous-generation WD_BLACK 1TB SN850 NVMe SSD for PS5 down at $89.99 shipped. Regularly $120 these days, this 7,000MB/s solution is now at the lowest we have tracked on Amazon and $40 under the price of the next-generation WD_BLACK 1TB SN850P that clocks in at 7,300MB/s. 

Joining the ongoing and particularly notable offer on the 2TB model at $120, Amazon has now introduced a new on-page coupon to bring the WD_BLACK 1TB SN850X NVMe Internal Gaming Solid-State Drive down to $65.99 $67.43 $69.99 shipped. This model started 2023 at $110 shipped before falling into the $80 range at the beginning of June. While did see a brief drop to $60 for a day in early July, now’s your chance to score at the second-best Amazon price yet. Delivering a solid 7,300MB/s transfer rate, it sports Gen4 PCIe technology within the M.2 2280 form-factor. That, along with the integrated heatsink, makes for a notable upgrade to your PC battlestation or a PlayStation 5. Head below for details. 

While they can’t quite keep up with the SN850X, Crucial’s latest P5 Plus 2TB Gen4 M.2 Internal Gaming SSD is another solid option that will cost even less. We recently spotted the 1TB model fall to $60 and the 2TB variant drop to $108, or $54 per TB. That’s a particularly solid price drop for a 6,600MB/s solution with an integrated heatsink and Gen 4 architecture. Take a closer look in our previous deal coverage. 

As we mentioned above, the 2TB SN850X is also sitting at its best price ever, but if you’re after some serious speeds the recently-released and now on sale Gen5 Crucial models are where it’s at. Leaving all of the aforementioned models in its dust, it can reach speeds up to 12,400MB/s with an integrated heatsink and prices starting from $168 right now at Amazon.
