Should I grab the WD BLACK 2TB SN7100 NVMe now or hold out for a 4TB SN850X deal?

I've been running a 1TB Seagate FireCuda 520 on my Asus TUF Gaming X570 Plus WiFi for a few years now, and I've also got a 1TB SATA drive that's nearly full with videos and pictures. For my gaming needs, I've been deleting and redownloading games, but with games getting larger, it's becoming a hassle. So, I'm faced with a decision: should I buy the WD BLACK 2TB SN7100 NVMe that's on sale for $129 right now, or should I save up and wait for a chance to snag a 4TB SN850X NVMe on sale?

I couldn't deal with constantly uninstalling games, so I went straight for the SN850X 4TB. For me, it was worth it. Just remember, I only had one NVMe slot available, which influenced my choice too.

_mint_tea: Sounds good! Mind sharing how much you paid for it?

I recently saw a 2TB Samsung 990 Pro on sale for $99, so I think paying $130 for the SN7100 is a bit too steep. Plus, Black Friday is just around the corner, which might bring better deals, so it could be worth holding off until then.

3rd act understudy: Yeah, Samsung usually has some great discounts on Black Friday. That's one sale to definitely keep an eye on!
