WD's 8TB SN850X SSD Drops to $1,199 in a Rare High-Capacity NVMe Discount

Tom's Hardware highlighted a Woot listing for WD's Black SN850X 8TB NVMe SSD at $1,199.99, which works out to roughly $0.15 per gigabyte. The report describes the drive as one of the stronger PCIe Gen4 performers and notes that this version includes a heatsink that can be removed if a motherboard already provides SSD cooling. For RamTrend, the main takeaway is not a structural shift in flash supply, but a real retail data point for an 8TB premium SSD in a market where large-capacity storage remains costly. The discount may help buyers needing dense single-drive storage, but on its own it signals only limited near-term pressure on broader SSD pricing.
