Amazon is now offering the WD_BLACK 2TB SN850 NVMe Internal Gaming Solid-State Drive for $269.99 shipped. This one launched at $530 about a year ago and has starting seeing some notable price drops over the last several months with a regular price at $298 as of late. Today’s deal is within a few cents of the all-time low at Amazon as well. Not to be confused with the base model SN850, this one is equipped with heatsink tech for optimized performance in high-demand PC gaming battlestations or your PS5. It clocks in at up to 7,000MB/s with PCIe Gen4 technology and an M.2 2280 form-factor. The SN850 also bring customizable LED lighting to your rig (Windows only) as well as performance adjustments via the WD_BLACK Dashboard software. More details below.
An obvious lower-cost alternative here is the 1TB model that currently sells for $159.50 shipped on Amazon. This one delivers the same overall experience at up to 7,000MB/s, just with the lighter overall storage capacity. The same goes for the 500GB variant that sells for $94.50 right now.
