WD SSDs hot deals! SN750 1tb

This is a solid drive, how does the price compare to the Samsung 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD?

Nice find. I remember how people were raving about this NVME in the summer when it was available for pre-order at $179.99. * corrected * thanks to kiukiumoar

I remember how people were raving about this NVME in the summer when it was available for pre-order at $179.99. not certain that I would notice much of a difference between this and the SN550 since i would be using it as a boot drive. Leaning towards the SN550 2TB at $234 and waiting for the SN950 to come out and get the 500GB for a game drive.

do you mean the wd blue 3d 2tb? afaik, the sn550 only goes up to 1tb which was the only issue for me. i'm also contemplating the blue 3d 2tb for 234, but from what i know, m.2 slots for nvme, and m.2 for sata slots are different and i haven't done enough research on how that works with motherboard slots lately. i would assume all the newer mobos run nvme slots.

Aw man $12.99 shipping. If not for that I'd go for this over the ADATA GAMMIX S11 Pro. $10 diff vs $23 diff...don't think it's wroth it.
Sucks that they closed the pick-up centre in Richmond Hill!

Oops. Your 100% correct. will edit my post so it isn't misleading.

You mean sn850 right? Which is PCI 4.0 and compatible with upcoming ps5. I don't think there is 950 yet

You mean this one?

$149.99 - XPG GAMMIX 1TB S11 Pro 3D NAND PCIe NVMe Gen3x4 M.2 2280 SSD (AGAMMIXS11P-1TT-C) 3500MB/s

Should I get the nvme WD 1TB SSD or the normal 2.5' SSD for my Lenovo legion 5? Both are priced around $120.

CDW order just shipped, guess won't be needing this one

Most newer mobo slots will work with either NVMe or SATA (don't want to promise you all do). Shouldn't be hard to look up what your mobo supports.

Did they process it automatically or did you follow up? My order is still "Open".

I did follow up with them in late August and was told "order confirmed, waiting stock"

Good find OP. Although just got the shipping confirmation from CDW after 2 and half months so SSD hunt is done for me

looking for a 2.5" ssd are the WD Blues any good?

Solid deal, but the shipping is a bummer. Interestingly the 500 GB has free shipping and is $85.99 - seems solid if you don't need a full terabyte.

If this for a gaming rig, maybe the 500 GB is enough? That's enough for the OS, applications, and a handful of games you're into at the moment (unless we're talking 250GB size behemoths like Modern Warfare). Then the rest of the game library can go on spinning rust or a cheaper SATA SSD. Hmm... I may be talking myself into this.
