Just as we thought we’d seen the last of the WD brand in the SSD world, a brand new WD Black SN8100 gaming SSD has now reared its head in a number of places. According to the sources, the new drive uses the 4x PCIe 5.0 interface, which would be a first for a WD SSD, enabling the drive to properly compete with the likes of the new Samsung 9100 Pro.
Despite launching all the way back in 2022, the WD Black SN850X is still the best gaming SSD for most people’s needs right now, thanks to its superb bang per buck in terms of both capacity and performance for the price. This WD drive is cheaper than the Samsung 990 Pro, but nearly as fast, and although it only uses the PCIe 4.0 interface, it’s still plenty fast enough for gaming.
