Price change: ➖
WD Black SN850X | 1 TB | NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 7,300 MB/s read | 6,300 MB/s write | $93.99$79.99 at Amazon (save $14)

Unlike the cheaper SN770, the SN850X encapsulates the best PCIe 4.0 offers in terms of performance (check out our review).

Price check: Best Buy $129.99 | Newegg $79.99
