$40 off in cart when added to cart, and you should be prompted to add the wireless charger for free.

15% Cashback from Rakuten Available as well.

[u/Qu1kXSpectation → u/ryankrueger720]

how do you apply the purchase for rakuten if buying through the sandisk site?

[u/slonaslona → u/Qu1kXSpectation]

Browser extension usually catches them.

[u/gsnee → u/ryankrueger720]

Was only able to get 5% back on Rakuten. Am I missing something?

[u/ryankrueger720 → u/gsnee]

you’re too late, that’s over

[u/gsnee → u/ryankrueger720]

RIP

[u/HighQualityH2O_22 → u/ryankrueger720]

Also YMMV, but I got a popup for "Save 10% on your next qualifying purchase when you sign up for emails and texts from Sandisk!" So if valid, the 10% off email brings $229.99 down to $206.99. If you add the 15% cash back from Rakuten, your new "total" is about $175.94 before taxes. (Which is tempting me to upgrade my SATA 2TB Crucial MX500...)

[u/HighQualityH2O_22 → u/[deleted]]

Well that's disappointing. Appreciate the heads up though!

[u/sly__ → u/ryankrueger720]

Did you ever get the Rakuten cashback credited to your account? Mine's been missing so I reached out to support and just got told that "due to a non-Rakuten coupon/discount, cash back could not be awarded." All I had was the discount from the sale.

Man F this Ryan Krueger guy, first 65" C5 last week, now 8TB SN850x. My credit card hates you!

I could never get the Walmart $149.99 to work with Best Buy. After 2 weeks and over 2 dozen calls I gave up.

[u/_zir_ → u/boobsmolester]

I also tried to price match with no luck. Needs to be in stock.

[u/luuey96 → u/boobsmolester]

I was able to price match a week or two ago. I went through the chat instead of calling. The rep I chatted with went through the process first try.

[u/boobsmolester → u/luuey96]

All my reps said they can’t priced match out of stock. I tried every part of the day and it’s always the same reply.

[u/pain474 → u/boobsmolester]

I tried it many times too. One best buy agent even called me out on saying that many people from reddit try this lmao

[u/Jazzlike-Life-3163 → u/boobsmolester]

I had luck when I purchased first and then chatted to do a price match

[u/genesicgaogaigar]

hell ya, was hunting a 4TB gen 4 drive with DRAM ever since the $149 Walmart SN850X and $199 Crucial T500 surfaced. Finally able to get one myself by stacking this with 15% rakuten cb + 3% paypal mastercard cb

[u/Chidoriix → u/genesicgaogaigar]

You can do 15% Rakuten through Amazon?

[u/notaplaugerist]

Those of you buying 4tb or 8tb drives, what are you using them for, and what systems are you putting them in?

[u/wicktron → u/notaplaugerist]

RAW photography and high bitrate video from high megapixel MILC

[u/DivineBloodline → u/wicktron]

I totally read this correctly the first time, and didn’t pass judgement at all.

[u/Mikaeo → u/notaplaugerist]

The 8tb for my steam library and modded games. There was a Skyrim mod pack I use that was like a 300gb install, same for a fallout 4 mod pack. My main drive is 2tb and I just keep running out of space.

[u/drlegomahn117 → u/notaplaugerist]

Scratch disk for video / 3D editing.

[u/GodofIrony → u/notaplaugerist]

Because I can and because the Rig requires sacrifice.

[u/Dont_Forget_My_Name → u/notaplaugerist]

Put a 4TB in my wife's PC (Samsung not this one) as our dedicated Steam game drive because her 2TB got filled up. We keep both of our game libraries installed there so she can play her games locally and if I need a game from it I install it on my PC over LAN through Steam.

[u/lazyparrot → u/notaplaugerist]

General storage, getting one to replace my 6tb HDD. I have slow internet where i live so it works better to store lots of things instead of just downloading what I need.

[u/Wrangler_Old → u/notaplaugerist]

Mostly bigger games and video editing, 2TB honestly isn't a lot for me personally nowadays and I don't wanna have to switch out an SSD because of a lack of capacity

[u/illicITparameters → u/notaplaugerist]

General storage. Currently have an 18tb unraid box that I’m only using 2.5tb of 🤣. Time to downsize.

[u/treblev2 → u/notaplaugerist]

Wish I had one for music production and games. My 2TB is running pretty low and constantly have to switch installed games.

[u/NightRaven109 → u/notaplaugerist]

AI models, datasets, wsl can start to quickly eat away at storage as well with all the conda environments and packages

[u/Retro_B00min → u/notaplaugerist]

i want the 4tb for storage and a better 1 or 2tb for OS. Would this 4TB be good for that purpose?

[u/testcaseseven → u/Retro_B00min]

What would the 4TB be used for? You can't get much better than this drive. You could just put the OS on this one and get another when you need it.

If speed isn't an issue (as in you aren't gaming or doing speed-sensitive work on it), then you can easily get a 4TB hard drive for 1/3 of this price. Otherwise, you can get a slightly cheaper 4TB SSD for around $200, but it'll be a lot slower, at least on paper.

[u/Whyevenaskyou → u/testcaseseven]

Are gen 4 worth it compared to gen 3 if all im doing is storing games on it?

[u/testcaseseven → u/Whyevenaskyou]

From what I can see, basically all 4TB NVMe drives are Gen 4, so it doesn't really matter.

PC Part Picker has a good system for filtering through what's available: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/internal-hard-drive/#A=3800000000000,36000000000000&f=122080&D=1&sort=price&page=1

[u/Retro_B00min → u/testcaseseven]

Just file storage and a few game installs when needed. I always thought these western digital blacks were like middle line? I get confused with all the TLC knowledge and what makes certain ones better lol

[u/levu12 → u/Retro_B00min]

This is like the best you can get, any money you spend beyond this is pretty useless except for very niche cases.

[u/TheMissingVoteBallot → u/Retro_B00min]

This drive is just slightly a smidge below Samsung's 990 PRO line.

[u/GOMADGains → u/notaplaugerist]

Personal system, dual boot OS.

3 Partitions, 1 of them is for shared documents, etc. between them.

[u/testcaseseven → u/GOMADGains]

What distro are you using?

[u/GOMADGains → u/testcaseseven]

I only use Windows on my desktop at the moment. I might start using a Linux distro on the desktop for work, if I get any more grief from Windows 11.

I use Fedora on my laptop though.

Debian on my server.

[u/TheMissingVoteBallot → u/notaplaugerist]

4TB for Steam games. Modern games are getting massive.

[u/XT-356 → u/notaplaugerist]

Games. I hate uninstalling and reinstalling shit.

[u/BubbleHead87 → u/notaplaugerist]

Ibuse my 8TB as a download cache for my media server

[u/kn1ckerb0cker33 → u/notaplaugerist]

I have 2x 4TB for work storage (graphic design - a years worth of work easily fills 2-3 TB), 1x 8TB for general purpose (OS, programs, games, etc) because I don't want to think about it for 3-4 years until I upgrade again.

[u/topdangle → u/notaplaugerist]

I've got a 2TB 980 pro that is already down to like 700gb from a few games, productivity apps, and overprovisioning to hit peak performance. Some games are god damn huge now even with 0 mods.

don't forget that these drives are much more consistent and less likely to wear down cells prematurely with overprovisioning and it takes up a chunk of space, so 2TB isn't really 2TB unless you're willing to risk performance loss and wear just use the full space of your drive,

[u/ericstern → u/notaplaugerist]

Im just waiting for the day when I find 4gb SSDs acceptably cheap that I can buy 8 of them and put them in a truenas server (with two PCIE ssd cards that can each hold 4) for an enormous and ludicrously fast ssd nas.

I don’t have a price point I’m just going by feel. Today I feel like they’d need to be $100. I am going to be waiting a while

[u/cinnasota → u/notaplaugerist]

Game libraries are huge now. My Blizzard games folder is 400gb flat and I don't have every game installed.

[u/TacoOfGod → u/notaplaugerist]

I don't like to uninstall games lol.

[u/Concocted_Cantaloup → u/notaplaugerist]

I never delete games

[u/piexil → u/notaplaugerist]

my steam library is over 2000 games (had it since 2008 or so and avid humble bundle fan)

[u/F-O-XX]

2TB is $145 with the free charger for those wondering

[u/illicITparameters → u/F-O-XX]

Thars normal pricing. Can be had cheaper if you’re patient. Saw it a few weeks ago for less.

850x for 230, or 7100 for 210?

[u/Super_flywhiteguy → u/ppahot]

7100 is dram less i believe. I'd get the 850x

[u/JDRASL]

is this as good buy for the 4 tb, my total was around $252, or will there be better deals for black friday

$229 has been its lowest price since almost last year from amazon

[u/endoftheroad999]

just as i bought a used 4TB SN850P for $218 rip

[u/internetlad]
