Its been at that price for a while now. Not a bad deal though for sure. Must have EDU email of course.

And of course, certain "top" "cashback" sites have 7% CB as well. bounce

Not bad. This is what the price should be for this drive (before the discount I mean) and I'd you can get the student discount this makes it nice.

It's a great price to buy for a wd nvme. However there are alternatives with similar specs priced lower. Like sabrent rocket.

did you get a code? What I've had to do in the past is get a code by going through their student email verification. then you order as usual and input your code in the checkout.

Bought the 1TB version last week. top tier consumer NVMe drive for a reasonable price given the current market.

You can also get 5-7% cashback on this. The SN550 is also on sale - $109.99 to start, far less with promotion and CB. New users get 10% while students, teachers, and seniors can get 15% with the code. The codes do not stack.

For those that do not know: this is NOT the type of drive you'd buy for everyday use if you're trying to get the best value. WIthin reason, the 1TB SN550 probably is right now. If you don't understand SSD drive design I suggest you check my resources on Reddit (search: NewMaxx).

"Why isn't this the best daily driver?"

The controller is a powerful, tri-core design with specialized cores that's oriented at heavier workloads. Its power efficiency reflects this: great under load, poor when idle. It tends to stay in higher power states for increased responsiveness. Its SLC cache design is more conventional, being entirely static. Most consumer drives have dynamic or hybrid, most enterprise drives have no SLC. Clearly this leans more towards the latter and it does have a lot of benefits including more consistent performance especially when the drive is fuller.

"What about the SN550?"

The SN550 shares elements of this design but lacks DRAM and has only half the channels (so lower sequential performance), however has newer flash (96L/BiCS4 vs. 64L/BICS3). This means it performs the same or better than the SN750 for daily use. The lack of DRAM isn't as much a factor for NVMe drives since the protocol is superior and the drive can better leverage its embedded SRAM, furthermore the specific design of this drive - powerful controller, static SLC - means it doesn't hit the pitfalls of other DRAM-less designs.

Right, the post didn't explain that you need to get a code. It should probably be edited.

Agreed. And I would've jumped on this if they weren't stupid enough to abstain from offering a 2TB (or 4TB) version like their Red line.

I was not familiar with the new post webpage ( doesn't allow me to upload screen shot) and I can't find in "my post" either. So I thought it was not working. Thus I made this post.
