“Whether it’s for high-level gaming, professional content creation or AI applications, high-performance users now have a PCIe Gen 5.0 storage solution that matches speed with power efficiency to help them build the ultimate gaming rig or best-in-class workstation, enabling them to play and create with next-level performance and reliability,” said Eric Spanneut, vice president of devices for Sandisk. “
The WD Black SN8100 NVMe SSD is priced at Rs 17,499 for the 1TB model and Rs 18,999 for the heatsink version. Buyers interested in purchasing can do so at major IT resellers or e-commerce platforms.
