Western Digital is working with Call of Duty to reimagine three high-performance products from the WD_BLACK portfolio, bringing gamers three special edition storage drives that encapsulate the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War look and feel with the added bonus of in-game Call of Duty points.1 These three products include the WD_BLACK P10 Game Drive, WD_BLACK P50 Game Drive SSD and the recently announced WD_BLACK SN850 NVMe SSD featuring PCIe Gen 4 technology.

"We are excited that this collaboration with Call of Duty gives us the opportunity to bring these limited edition specially designed drives to their passionate fans," said Jim Welsh, Senior Vice President of Consumer Solutions at Western Digital. "We know gamers are exceptionally serious when it comes to their gameplay, so we created optimized storage solutions that enable them to keep up with the immersive Call of Duty experience."

enjoy your slow drive then. e18 phison controller beats samsung, im buying rocket plus 4 nvme drive when it launches soon.
 
At least it's an SSD, as opposed to Seagate's Halo branded HDD. In a generation when even consoles are switching to SSDs!

Looks like HDD to me. (The P10 at the very least.) Or a typo. Because at this price I'd take 10 if it was a 2TB SSD at $110, lmfao.

Considering the extreme markup of the rest of the series however ...
 
Is it me or the prices double what a normal SSD costs. 1tb ssd for $230 or is it a bunch of typos.

I'll buy the entire stock for $109. I'll even sell all my stocks. I'll even sell my AMD stocks
 
The $110 gets you the HDD, it's not a typo. Rest of em are SSDs.

thanks for clarifying, I guess I just suck at reading. 2tb for an hdd at 109 bucks is laughable... I got my 8TB for $150... lulz.

Laptop or 2.5in drives are always way more expensive than a 3.5in HD. I bought a 2tb 2.5in for the same price of a 6-8tb 3.5 HD some years ago. I should have gotten the larger one and put into a external drive.
