Save £70 on this capable 4TB WD SN850X SSD from Overclockers
Its best price in months.
We haven't seen too many recent reductions on this larger 4TB WD SN850X for quite some time, making this hefty £70 price cut from Overclockers on what's easily one of the quickest and most capable PCIe 4.0 drives all the more noteworthy. It brings the drive down to £200, giving you a price of £50 per terabyte of storage - that's a bargain for one this speedy.
The SN850X makes for one of the fastest and best gaming SSDs out there, with maximum sequential read and write speeds of 7300MB/s and 6600MB/s. Its random performance, a better indicator of real-world game load times, is also intense - up to 1.2M IOPS for reads and 1.1M IOPS for writes. For context, the best PCIe 4.0 SSDs before the SN850x were in the 0.7 to 0.8M IOPS region, making this a significant step forward. The only way to get anything quicker is to go for a PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD, which at the moment are still hilariously expensive at this capacity.
With those speeds in mind, the SN850X also smashes Sony's requirements for PS5 SSDs, and this is one of the best options available there, too. You may not get a heatsink on this specific model, but they're a low cost addition to make them fully compatble for use in a PS5 or PS5 Slim. For that purpose, Amazon has this £8 option which we've recommended before. With this, it means the SN850X is fully PS5-proof. The fact also remains you're getting 4TB of storage, giving you a lot of additional space compared to the internal SSD of either the PS5 or PS5 Slim.
If you're after an immensely quick PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD for a rather good price these days that also comes in quite a large capacity, this WD Black SN850X deal from Overclockers is not to be missed.
