Here it is, folks, WD's latest and greatest solid-state drive, the SN8100. And look, I get it, these launches, they're not exactly super exciting; it's not a new GPU dropping massive frame rates for silly prices or an exclusive shiny smooth mechanical keyboard with pre-lubed tactile switches for your fingers to feverishly itch over, but hear me out, this one just hits different. It's special and should be seriously exciting for any techie worth his salt.
Yeah, alright, new 5.0 drives are a dime a dozen these days, and the speeds involved are so vastly ahead of the rest of the PC ecosystem that it effectively makes them kind of pointless for the humble PC gamer. I get it. It's like comparing a Lamborghini Aventador to your grandma's clapped-out sedan. Alright, it can do 0-60 in less than 4 seconds, but it's still going to get you from point A to point B in about the same amount of time, thanks to that trusty old bottleneck that is highway speed limits.
