Amazon, Walmart, B&H Photo and Newegg all have it at $269.99 so SanDisk’s 15% discount is a small but significant one.

Tomshardware, our sister publication, says that it's "the pinnacle of SSD design, bringing fantastic performance and power efficiency in one nice package.” It gave it a 4.5/5 rating and an Editor’s choice badge, with the only con being its price ($279.99 at the time of review).

The SN8100 can reach speeds of up to 14,900 / 14,000 MB/s for sequential writes and up to 2,300K / 2,400K random read and write IOPS.

It’s a shame though that you cannot add an Ontrack data recovery plan from $9.99 for a 2-year subscription for this particular drive. Other SanDisk drives, like the WD_Black SN850X, offer this very useful option.
