Spend less time waiting for levels to load and more time exploring fantastic open worlds and taking on the competition with the 8TB WD_BLACK SN850X Gaming Internal NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD . Designed specifically with gaming enthusiasts in mind, this high-end SSD is designed to deliver extreme PCIe 4.0 performance with up to 7200 MB/s sequential read speeds, which is about 4% faster than a regular SN850 drive. The SN850X also features sequential write speeds of up to 6600 MB/s. With random read and write speeds of 1,200,000 IOPS and 1,200,000 IOPS, respectively, demanding games and applications load in a flash. Additionally, the integrated heat sink helps to maintain sustained performance during intense gaming sessions and data transfers while still fitting PlayStation 5 consoles along with many desktop and laptop systems. Game Mode 2.0 pushes Windows gaming performance even further with features such as load prediction.
Form factor and generation interface dictate compatibility and speed. Prioritize drives with DRAM caches for OS boot drives, as DRAM-less drives can slow down significantly during heavy multitasking. Available from $2,279.99.
Solid State Drives (SSDs) have no ongoing costs and consume minimal power. Their cost of ownership is entirely the upfront price per gigabyte.
Common Failure Modes
SSDs have no moving parts, making them immune to physical shock. Failures occur through flash memory wear-out from writing massive amounts of data or sudden controller death.
Form factor and generation interface dictate compatibility and speed. Prioritize drives with DRAM caches for OS boot drives, as DRAM-less drives can slow down significantly during heavy multitasking.
SSDs have a finite number of write cycles, usually measured in Terabytes Written (TBW). For average consumers, this limit takes many years to reach.
