GoKawiilIf you're hunting for a top-tier SSD in the current climate, you might want to jump on one of these SSD discounts sooner, rather than later, as these are expected to go out of stock very quickly. Available at Woot today is a selection of Western Digital/SanDisk storage deals. You can grab the 1TB WD Black SN850P for $189.99, the 2TB WD Black SN850P for $299.99, and the 4TB WD Black SN850P for $549.99. These are the cheapest versions of these drives currently available, with the prices being lower than those offered by both Amazon and Newegg. Checking PC Partpicker also confirms the low prices. With upcoming games like Grand Theft Auto 6 on the horizon and gargantuan file sizes expected, now's also a good time to think about upgrading your PlayStation 5 console's storage capacity from the standard 1TB.

The WD-Black SN850P is just an SN850X with official PlayStation 5 licensing. They come with a heatsink for cooling, due to the confines of the PS5 console's storage bay. This helps reduce the chance of SSD thermal throttling under load, giving you a much better gaming experience. The SN850P is a PCIe Gen 4 SSD with fantastic sequential speeds of up to 7,300 MB/s reads and 6,600 MB/s.
Woot is offering deals and discounts on the three capacities of the SN850P: the 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB sizes, with the 1TB drive receiving the largest price cut. This drive works perfectly fine on a PC, as with the SN850X, as long as there is enough space in the M.2 drive bay to accommodate the heatsink's girth.
As I briefly mentioned above, the WD Black SN850P is the same drive as the SN850X. Therefore, you can check out our review of the WD Black SN850X for more information on this fantastic PCIe Gen 4 drive. In our testing, we found the SSD to be one of the top-performing drives in this category.

You might be waiting until next week for Amazon Prime Day to arrive, or sales from the other big retailer to start, but I don't think you're going to see the drives dip lower than this. Memory and storage prices are only holding or going up in price at the moment, and we aren't going to see a change in this pattern for some time.
