Finding the right parts when making a gaming PC is a careful balancing act. You want to make sure you’re not going to get something that can become a bottleneck for your system, and you also want to get the most value for your money. That’s what makes the WD_BLACK™ SN750 SE NVMe™ SSD Battlefield™ 2042 PC Game Code Bundle1 so compelling.
As it is, the WD_BLACK SN750 SE NVMe SSD is a great option for all builders looking to modify their current PC or find storage for a fresh build. Its support for the new PCIe® Gen 4 interface2 and its top read speeds of up to 3,600MB/s3 (500 GB and 1 TB models4) make it a very capable option, and it’s still compatible with legacy PCIe Gen 3 slots. Using an M.2 slot, the drive also doesn’t ask for much power from the system, so it’s easy to add to a desktop PC and even a gaming laptop with an available M.2 slot.
With the 500GB4 model landing at a $89.99 MSRP and the 1TB4 model coming in at $159.99 MSRP, they also present a strong balance of price, speed, and storage capacity. It wasn’t long ago that you’d have been paying these kinds of prices for basic SATA SSDs that — at best — offer only a sixth of the speeds of this drive. NVMe SSDs like the WD_BLACK SN750 SE NVMe SSD not only blow past that speed barrier to make your system faster and more responsive, but also do so with high energy efficiency. As a bonus, they’re also smaller and easier to incorporate into systems without requiring the wired connections of SATA drives.
Having faster and accessible storage for new games like Battlefield 2042 can also be handy. The high-quality visual assets and the massive maps of a game like Battlefield 2042 results in large files that can take a long time to load, but having the extra speed to let your system access those files from an NVMe SSD can mean much faster loading, letting you get in the game and jump into battle that much quicker and helping boost your performance while you play. The WD_BLACK SN750 SE NVMe SSD will help get you these speeds, and you have the option of going even faster with the WD_BLACK SN850 NVMe SSD.
The value of this drive becomes plain to see when you account for the game code that comes bundled in. With the purchase of the drive, WD_BLACK SN750 SE NVMe SSD Battlefield 2042 PC Game Code Bundle, you’ll be getting the drive itself as well as a PC game code for the standard edition of Battlefield 2042. That not only gives you the game when it launches but also includes pre-order bonuses.
Anyone who needs a bit of extra storage in their system and is already planning on getting Battlefield 2042 will get a great bargain out of this deal. It would almost be like paying just $30 for the 500GB model and buying Battlefield 2042 separately, and you’d be hard pressed to find a high-performance, PCIe Gen 4 SSD with 500GB of storage going for $30 anywhere you look.
