On the other hand,the special edition P50 external USB-C-based NVME drivecomes with a 1TB storage option and costs $50 morethan its regular edition model. So, this makes it a $250 (~Rs 18,535) component. However, as there is no spec difference between the regular model and the COD edition, it delivers speeds up to 2,000Mbps.

Now, coming to the special COD edition of the company’s first PCIe 4.0-based NVMe SSD drive, the SN850,this drive, like the P50, comes in a 1TB variant only and got the least price-hikeamongst the three. So, adding just $10 to the price of the regular SN850 model,the Call of Duty Black Ops-themed SN850 costs $240(~Rs 17,794).
