This 1TB model has never been cheaper. The previous 30-day average sat at $282.97, and the 90-day average was $300.74, so the current $244.99 tag is a genuine outlier.

It also undercuts the 180-day average of $345.29 by a solid margin. If you have been waiting on a Gen4 SSD for a build or upgrade. This is the moment.

What You're Getting

The Sandisk Optimus GX PRO 850X pushes sequential read/write speeds up to 7,300/6,600 MB/s on the 2TB and 4TB models, with random read/write hitting 1.2M/1.2M IOPS on the 8TB variant. It supports Microsoft DirectStorage for faster game load times and uses Sandisk nCache 4.0 technology to keep performance consistent under heavy loads. The drive also comes with TCG Opal v2.01 encryption for data-at-rest protection and works with the Sandisk Dashboard app (Windows) for drive monitoring and Game Mode optimization.

Who This Is For

This is for PC builders and console owners who want Gen4 speeds without paying the usual premium. Gamers running DirectStorage-compatible titles will see the biggest benefit, and content creators working with large media files will appreciate the TBW endurance ratings that go up to 4,800 TBW on higher-capacity models.

If you are still on a Gen3 board, this drive is backward compatible, but you will not get the full speed advantage.

Final Verdict

At $244.99. This is the lowest price ever recorded for the 1TB Optimus GX PRO 850X. If you need a fast Gen4 drive right now, there is no reason to wait.
