The WD Black SN7100 is a fast 1TB NVMe drive at a sharp Walmart price, but the listing appears to be wrong about it being Gen 5. The drive is repeatedly described as Gen 4, and it is also called out as a DRAM less model. At $89, it is framed as a strong value versus current SSD pricing, especially for backups, laptop use, or a portable enclosure. The main caveat is that local stock and shipping availability are inconsistent, so the deal can be hard to find in practice.
buyers hunting for a strong Walmart SSD deal right now because commenters said the $89 price is reasonable versus the current market and could be among the best deals you'll see for a while if you need something like this.
people who can verify local availability in-store because multiple commenters warned that Walmart's stock listings can be inaccurate and suggested visiting local Walmarts if you need one or a few.
people who need a fast NVMe drive for quick backups because one commenter bought a couple and uses them in a portable holder specifically to make fast back ups.
laptop upgraders who are okay with using the SN7100 as a laptop option because one commenter said they plan to use the SN7100 for a laptop (citing that Tom's Hardware ranks SN7100 top for laptops).
people who rely on Walmart's "in stock" status online because commenters said it often shows out of stock for them and that local stock listings can be wrong (including due to theft).
shoppers comparing within the same brand line who want the best value at a similar price because one commenter said a WD_BLACK SN850X 2TB listing for $189 looks like a way better deal than this $89 1TB Gen5 post.
$89 is a strong price for this drive in the current market, and it is described as one of the better deals available if you need a 1TB NVMe now. The caveat is that similar or better-value options, including larger drives, may be available elsewhere.
No, it is very YMMV and often shows out of stock depending on local inventory. Walmart's stock display can be inaccurate, so checking nearby stores in person may be necessary.
Not a horrible deal for this drive given the current market. If you need something like this probably one of the best deals you'll see for a while. If you don't need something now or in the near future hopefully prices will come back down to more sane prices sooner or later.
Weird. I was able to order and buy 2 of them from the Walmart website half an hour ago, shipped to me.
I bought some awhile back and even though it was "in delivery" from a local store, like loaded in a car, halfway through delivery it ended up saying delayed, and then they never reshipped.
In the market for a new ssd, is this a good deal? My Walmart says in stock
Buy it if you need and can.
Prices are about to be out of control. SanDisk is now producing these for WD, this is listed on their site with SanDisk branding at $212.99.
