One of Western Digital's (WD) M.2 2230 SSDs is on sale at the moment for its lowest-ever price. The discount is on the 1TB variant of the WD_BLACK SN770M that is selling for $83 (purchase link under the specs list below).
Being a 2230 form factor drive means that the SN770M is much rarer than the far more common 2280 counterpart. This is why they are typically more expensive. However, the speed of data transfer is not affected by that as the SSD promises rates of over 5100 MB/s and random throughputs of up to 800K IOPS (input-output per second).
While the 1TB has just dropped to its lowest price today, the 2TB has been selling at a decent discount for a while. The key specifications of the 1TB and 2TB WD_BLACK SN770M are given below:
