For just $1999.99, down from its list price of $3299.99, this 8TB drive hits an all-time low. The 30-day average sits at $2666.14, the 90-day average at $2720.09, and the 180-day average at $2890.34.

Anyone tracking this model knows it rarely dips below the $2500 mark, making this a legitimate outlier.

What You're Getting

This is a PCIe Gen 4.0 x4 M.2 2280 SSD rated for sequential reads up to 7,300 MB/s and writes up to 6,600 MB/s on the 2TB and 4TB models, with the 8TB version pushing random read/write speeds of 1.2M/1.2M IOPS. SANDISK nCache 4.0 technology handles burst caching, and the drive supports Microsoft DirectStorage for faster game asset loading.

Endurance is rated at up to 4,800 TBW on the 8TB model, and TCG Opal v2.01 encryption provides data-at-rest security. The SANDISK Dashboard software (Windows) lets you monitor drive health and toggle Game Mode.

Who This Is For

Best for creative professionals who work with large media files and PC gamers who want to stop juggling installs across multiple smaller drives. The 8TB capacity means you can keep your entire active game library, your project files, and your OS on a single Gen4 drive without compromise.

Skip this if you only need 1TB or 2TB for a budget build -- you will find better value-per-dollar at lower capacities.

The Caveat

The 8TB model tops out at 7,200 MB/s sequential reads versus the 7,300 MB/s advertised for the smaller variants, and you will need a Gen4-compatible motherboard to hit those speeds. Gen3 systems will still work but at reduced throughput.

Final Verdict

Below $2000 for an 8TB Gen4 NVMe drive with this endurance rating is unusual even by 2026 standards. If you need the capacity and the speed, this all-time low is the number to beat.
