Few things dash my excitement for a new game more than finding out I don’t have enough storage to house the darn thing. Fortunately, grabbing a big SSD upgrade doesn’t need to cost the earth, as WD Blue SN5000 is now cheaper than its ever been, meaning you don’t need to juggle your favourite installs to squeeze a few more gigabytes.
Slashing up to 33% off its usual price tag, you can grab a 4TB SSD for under $200 on Amazon US and £217 across the pond. Much like the 1TB model, this is the lowest price we’ve ever seen. You can check out your local deals by clicking the button below.
WD Blue SN5000
Designed for creators and professionals but with budget in mind, you can use this drive to store games, files, or fuel your AI-enabled applications.
Operating as Western Digital’s budget offering, WD Blue is the company’s most affordable SSD range, trading in raw speed for a lower price point. Sticking with a PCIe Gen 4 interface, it doesn’t quite reach the performance of a Gen 5 alternative, but 5,150MB/s sequential read and 4,900MB/s sequential write speeds are plenty fast for everyday use. You’ll never hold up the loading lobby, and you can still smash through AI workloads.
Compatability-wise, this 2280 NVMe should fit into just about any M.2 slot on an ATX motherboard. Handhelds are often too small, but you’ll be able to wiggle this into an Asus ROG Ally X, too. No matter where it sits, you won’t see it climb past its 85°C operating temperature, giving it plenty of room to breathe.
The 4TB model boasts an endurance rating of 1,200TBW, meaning you’d need to somehow fill it up 300 times before wearing it thin which isn’t likely at all. You can also rest safe in the knowledge that Western Digital provides a five-year limited warranty part and parcel with Blue SN5000 too.
Don’t forget that you can give this SSD a whirl for up to 30 days risk-free thanks to Amazon’s generous returns policy, so there’s no harm in giving it a whirl in your system. You can expect more deals like this from Club386, so be sure to follow the site on Google News to make sure you don’t miss a bargain.
Give it a try for yourself, as Amazon lets you return purchases for a full refund up to 30 days from the moment you click Buy Now. And if this discount doesn’t suit you right now, it’s worth following Club386 on Google News as we’ll continue to hunt for the best reductions in tech.
