Amazon’s Black Friday 2024 sale is stacked with a multitude of surprises, and not the nice ones, where you search for a high-capacity SSD of your choice, only to find that the version you were after was out of stock or its price had immediately increased.
Fortunately, you will encounter none of those annoyances because the WD_BLACK SN850X 8TB PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSD is back to its low price of $549.99.
Of course, you can opt for the model that ships with a heatsink, but that will set you back by an extra $30, and if you are the type of person who wants the best deal, you will make every attempt to pocket each cent.
As for the performance, there is absolutely no difference between the heatsink variant and the one that has been discounted, as you will get up to 7,200MB/s speeds.
Weirdly enough, the 4TB version of the same solid-state drive can top out at 7,300MB/s speeds, but it is a minor performance bump.
