For just $699.99, below its 30-day average of $957.42. The 90-day average sits at $1,129.73 and the 180-day average at $1,074.37, so this is a genuine drop against recent pricing history.

If you have been waiting for a 4TB Gen 5 drive to hit a reasonable price point. This is the window.

What You're Getting

The WD_Black SN8100 is a PCIe 5.0x4 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD that hits sequential read speeds up to 14,900MB/s and sequential writes up to 14,000MB/s. Random performance reaches over 2,300,000 IOPS on the 4TB model. The custom anodized aluminum heatsink keeps temperatures in check without a fan - it is the lowest-profile PCIe 5.0 drive with RGB lighting on the market. Endurance is rated at up to 4,800 TBW using TLC 3D CBA NAND technology.

Who This Is For

Best for PC builders who need massive Gen 5 storage for AI workloads, 8K video editing, or direct-storage gaming. The 4TB capacity and 14GB/s read speed make it a strong fit for anyone moving large asset files regularly.

Skip this if your motherboard lacks a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot - the drive is backward compatible with Gen 4 but you will leave performance on the table.

Final Verdict

The SN8100 at $699.99 undercuts its typical street price by a wide margin, and the 4TB capacity class rarely sees this kind of discount outside of major sales events. If you need a high-end Gen 5 drive now. This is the price to buy at.
