If you"re on the hunt for a massive 8 TB SSD from WD, then check out the WD_BLACK 8 TB SN850X NVMe internal gaming SSD with heatsink. It"s just 6% off the original price but considering the original price is a hefty $929.99, you"ll be saving a nice $57.11 - not to shabby if you had your eye on it or a similar product already!
Before getting into the specs, it"s worth pointing out that this product has an amazing 4.8 out of 5 stars based on a massive 21,779 ratings. Honestly, that makes it one of the top-rated products on the whole platform.
With this SSD, you"ll get "top-tier performance and ridiculously short load times" on your computer thanks to the speedy 7,200 MB/s read speeds and 6,600 MB/s write speeds. Another thing that keeps this SSD running quickly is the included heatsink. This will help to dissipate the heat, even when you"re doing something intensive like gaming.
The interface used by this SSD is PCIe Gen4x4 but WD notes that it"s also backwards compatible with PCIe Gen3 (you"ll get lower speeds on Gen3), so it will still make a good choice for an older computer. Here"s are more specs:

In addition, this SSD comes with "future-forward" features such as Predictive Loading, Overhead Balancing, and Adaptive Thermal Management (ATM). This will make a great choice of SSD if you"re working on a new computer or need more space on your PlayStation 5, which it also supports.
