Recently, we covered a couple of external (portable) SSD discounts from SanDisk and Transcend on 8TB and 4TB models, respectively. The discounts are still live at the moment in case you want to check them out.
If it's an internal NVMe SSD that you are after, you can consider the WD_BLACK 2TB SN7100 which is currently selling for its lowest-ever price (purchase link under the specs list below).
The SN7100 is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and promises to deliver speeds of over 7000 MB/s in continuous reads and close to that in writes as well. This is a TLC (triple-level cell) NAND SSD and thus comes with a decent 1200 TBW (terabytes written) Endurance rating. It does not feature a DRAM cache though and instead relies on Host memory buffer (HMB) and accesses 64 MB of the system RAM for caching.
The key specs of the drive are given below:
- Controller: Polaris 3
- NAND Flash: 162-layer TLC NAND
- DRAM Cache: None
- Host Memory Buffer (HMB): 64 MB
- Sequential Read Speed: Up to 7,250 MB/s
- Sequential Write Speed: Up to 6,900 MB/s
- Random Read IOPS: Up to 1,000,000
- Random Write IOPS: Up to 1,400,000
- Endurance (TBW): 1,200 TBW
- Operating Temperature: 0°C to 85°C
