Finally drop on 4 TB: WD_BLACK 4TB SN850X NVMe $330 Amazon.com

I like my 4TB SN850X. It does run warmer than my Seagate Firecuda 530. I've been using it as a game drive since early December.
 
Good price. It's gotten as low as $299 in the past from Amazon. If you don't need a drive right now, can't hurt to wait and see if it will go that low again. Amazon likes to use dynamic pricing, so YMMV.

Holy crap that's amazing. The next build for my step son will have a 4TB NVME. Whichever the cheapest one I can get my hands. That kid deletes nothing.

They go down to even $200 depending on your needs. It's a great time to buy nvme storage, that's for sure.
 
Prices will probably come down more for top end gen 4 drives like this as PCIe 5 drives finally start getting released. After all, that is only $10 more than what I paid for a 980 pro 2TB model back in November, 2021.

So the question becomes, would you rather RAID 0 a pair of 980 pro's, which are less than $150 each for heatsink free versions on Amazon right now, or one of these?
 
I would not recommend using raid 0 on these for an Os drive (I tried it for a while). If you are using it as a games only drive and have everything backed up maybe for that.
 
Well, given the current deals, I'm really wondering what's gonna show up during PrimerzDay, BustBuy's, BF sales etc..

I have several client builds coming up soon, and they have all expressed interest in having 1-2x 4TB drives instead of 3-4x smaller ones... I bought a bunch of the 2TB's a few weeks back when they were cheap, so I'll probably just do the builds now, upgrade them when the 4TB's deals kick off again, and then sell off the 2TB's...:)
 
How deal but I wonder why you would need to spend so much money on a 4TB when most recent motherboards have room for four NVMes and it's cheaper to just buy four smaller ones. Unless you're a YouTuber and you need 16GB of NVMes for your videos.

Because recent boards cost a lot? Shoot, my b650-E still only has 3.

My clients are NOT tuberz, they do actual work on their pc's and prefer fewer but larger drives, so what can I say.... they will get whatever they are willing to pay for, be it a budget rig or a latest & greatest maxed out superduper hellamega workstation, or anywhere in between :D

ITX boards typically only have 1-2 m.2 slots.
