Get This Price

For just $479.75, down from its list price of $829.99. This is the lowest price this drive has hit in recent history. The 30-day average sits at $577.56, and the 90-day average is $609.72, so this deal clears those by a meaningful margin. The all-time low was $512.78, which means this is only about $33 above the best price ever recorded for this model.

What You're Getting

The Optimus GX PRO 850X is a Gen4 x4 NVMe drive built on SANDISK BiCS TLC 3D NAND. Sequential reads hit 7,300 MB/s and writes reach 6,600 MB/s on the 2TB model.

Random read/write performance tops 1.2 million IOPS, and SANDISK nCache 4.0 technology keeps latency low during heavy transfers. The drive supports Microsoft DirectStorage for faster game asset loading, and it carries a 4,800 TBW endurance rating on the 8TB variant.

SANDISK Dashboard software (Windows) lets you monitor drive health and toggle Game Mode for optimized performance. TCG Opal v2.01 encryption is included for data-at-rest protection.

Who This Is For

Best for PC gamers who want DirectStorage support without paying the Gen5 premium, and for content creators who need sustained write performance for large video or 3D project files. If you are still on a Gen3 platform, this drive is backward compatible, but you will not see the full sequential speed.

Skip this if you are holding out for Gen5 drives to hit similar price points later this year.

Final Verdict

This is $98 below the 90-day average and the closest the 850X has come to its all-time low in months. If you need a high-end 2TB Gen4 drive for a current build, there is little reason to wait at this price.
