SanDisk's 8TB PS5 SSD Hits $2,960 Amid Ongoing Flash-Price Spike

SanDisk unveils the Optimus GX Pro 850P line for PlayStation 5 with up to 8TB of PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage priced at $2,960 after a discount, underscoring the broader surge in flash memory costs. Smaller capacities sit at similarly steep prices, and a non-PS5-licensed 850X option is offered at about $2,650. The company also introduced a 7100X model for the ROG Xbox Ally X, but these are essentially standard PCIe 4.0 SSDs marketed with licensing and extra perks. The overall takeaway is that ultra-high-capacity PS5 SSDs remain prohibitively expensive, though discounts may appear in the future as prices normalize.

SanDisk bets on SATA as NVMe prices surge, unveils 320 and 520 SSDs for 2026

SanDisk is launching two 2.5-inch SATA SSDs, the 320 and 520, in 2026 to offer cheaper storage as NVMe prices rise due to AI-driven NAND demand. The 320 supports 250GB–2TB with up to 545/525 MB/s, while the 520 covers 500GB–4TB with up to 560/525 MB/s and 4TB TBW of 1000. SATA caps ~600 MB/s, so these aren’t ideal for boot drives or fast workloads but could serve as bulk storage or for older laptops if priced attractively; US pricing is unconfirmed, UK listing was removed, and a Dutch retailer cited a June 3 arrival.

"2023 SSD Buying Guide: Choosing the Perfect SSD for Your Needs"

When buying an SSD, consider the form factor (SATA or NVMe) based on your motherboard and the desired read/write speeds. SATA SSDs are slower but still provide an upgrade over HDDs, while NVMe SSDs offer significantly faster speeds. Choose a capacity starting at 512GB, with 1TB being the gold standard for power users. Consider the durability in terms of terabytes written (TBW) and mean time to failure (MTTF/MTBF). Pay attention to read/write speeds, which impact overall performance. Prices for SSDs have become more affordable, with SATA and PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSDs costing similar amounts. Ultimately, choose an SSD that suits your needs and budget, prioritizing form factor, capacity, and read/write speeds.
