Perfect for PCIe 4.0 compatible PCs and laptops - and the PS5.

The WD Black SN850 is a tremendously fast PCIe 4.0 SSD, capable of hitting some outrageous speeds - up to 7000MB/s reads and 5300MB/s writes. That makes it a great choice for any PC that can handle it (as well as the PS5, which gets external SSD support tomorrow). It’s been discounted on Scan to £145 today, where you’ll also get a free Akasa NVMe heatsink in the bargain.

Normally, the heatsink version of this drive costs significantly more - Amazon hasthat model for £209! - so getting the 1TB model and a compatible heatsink for £145 is a great deal. The Akasa heatsink that you’re getting here isn’t expensive - Scan sell it for £5 alone - but with PS5 owners buying up every NVMe heatsink they can find, it’s still a nice inclusion that will work just as happily on a PC motherboard as inside a games console.

So, if you’re in the market for what RPS proudly callthe best PCIe 4.0 SSD for gamingat a historic low price, then check out the link above. I’ve also included a link to Amazon, who have the same price but aren’t offering the free NVMe heatsink, just in case Scan sell out of the drive as they’re currently threatening with their ‘low stock’ message.
