Earlier today we looked at the most affordable PCIe 4.0 SSD, with theSolidigm P41 Plus 2TB at $99.99, and now it’s time to look at one of the very fastest PCIe 4.0 SSDs, the WD SN850x. It’s down to $99.99 for a 1TB model and $159.99 for a 2TB size, a new low price for each capacity and a great deal for our top PCIe 4.0 SSD recommendation.

In his writeup of the WD SN850x, James was impressed with the performance of the drive compared to the previous-gen SN850 and more or less every other SSD we’ve tested, stating:
With fancy (heatsink-encrusted) PCIe 5.0 SSDs on the way - eventually - this is likely to be one of the best drives you can plunk into a PCIe 4.0 spec system - and even in PCIe 5.0 compatible machines, you’re likely to only have one PCIe 5.0 slot and you may even lose out on PCIe lanes for your graphics card if you’re on the Intel side of things… so picking up an extremely fast PCIe 4.0 drive while it’s discounted makes a lot of sense!
