SSD deals hunters have been spoiled for alternative in current weeks, with financial savings available on every little thing from 1TB SSDs to half-price NVMe drives. Today is not any totally different, as Amazon UK have gotten the wonderful 500GB WD Black SN750 (the non-heatsink model this time) for £77 proper now, which is just round £7 dearer than it was over Black Friday. The 1TB mannequin can also be 36% off in the event you’re after one thing bigger, and there are many good financial savings available on WD’s transportable SSD drives as properly. So come on in and see what’s what.
Indeed, the 500GB mannequin of the WD Black SN750 is a a lot better purchase than the 250GB model proper now, because the latter will nonetheless set you again £62. That’s 24p per gigabyte you’re paying for, in comparison with 15p / GB on the 500GB mannequin.
The 1TB mannequin, in the meantime, is a little bit of a trickier prospect. It was all the way down to round £130 on the finish of January, and £125 at its lowest level throughout Black Friday, so its present worth of £150 isn’t truly that nice a deal. Still, contemplating it’s been up nearer £170 this previous month, you’re nonetheless saving a bit of cash in the event you determine to get one now (though in reality, you’re in all probability higher off ready to see in the event you can bag it for even much less given its current worth fluctuations).
Similarly, the 2TB model of the Black SN750 has been cheaper within the final month as properly, though right here the distinction is a bit smaller. It dipped all the way down to round £320 on the finish of January, and earlier than that was simply £300 over Black Friday, however once you’re spending this sort of cash on an SSD, the odd £20-30 right here or there isn’t actually so vital.
- WD Black SN750 (500GB) – £76.99 from Amazon UK (down from £86.48)
- WD Black SN750 (1TB) – £149.99 from Amazon UK (down from £234.99)
- WD Black SN750 (2TB) – £337.99 from Amazon UK (down from £464.99)
Either approach, these are nonetheless first rate costs for the WD Black SN750, particularly once you evaluate them to its most important rival (and our present best gaming SSD winner), the Samsung 970 Evo Plus. The Samsung will set you again £102 at time of writing for the 500GB mannequin, for instance, in addition to £195 for the 1TB, and £378 for the 2TB model, which is sort of a bit greater than the WD. Indeed, whereas the Samsung 970 Evo Plus has a quicker random learn velocity than the WD, it’s the WD that comes out on prime for random write speeds.
If it’s an exterior SSD you’re after, although, then Amazon UK even have some good offers on their WD My Passport SSD as properly, which I’ve listed beneath:
- WD My Passport SSD (512GB) – £79.99 from Amazon UK (down frm £126.99
- WD My Passport SSD (1TB) – £134.99 from Amazon UK (down from £149.95)
Again, that is second solely to Samsung’s T5 transportable SSD in my eyes, whose 500GB and 1TB fashions presently go for £82 and £149 respectively, making the WD My Passport a a lot better purchase for these on a price range.
The 512GB mannequin was a bit cheaper again in December, the place it price round £70, however that is the most affordable it’s been since then. The identical goes for the 1TB mannequin, too. It briefly dipped all the way down to £120 on the finish of January (and £115 throughout Black Friday), however in any other case that is the most affordable it’s been for fairly a while.
