  • Can confirm, the EV tariffs came after intense lobbying by our industry (am in Canadian automotive) stateside, which then got copied here. Our exec layer got scared shitless after conducting some competition research and they communicated that to us in no uncertain terms. At the time the tariffs made some sense since there was real, material shift towards EV production at NA autos. All that got fell apart with Trump’s election. Ford just recently announced it’s refocusing one of its loudly advertised Kentucky batt plants to do other applications. The Oakville plant was supposed to be retooled for EVs. Instead it’s gonna be making F250s.






  • I tried the 26B searching for a product to buy from a photo. It did significantly worse than Qwen 3.5 35B as well as 9B. It seems like it did not recognize the item from the photo too well. Another search from text also did worse. It told me how to look it up myself. Qwen gave me a full list of prices and stores, sorted by price.

    Find the cheapest WD SN850X 2TB on sale in Canada.

    To find the cheapest WD SN850X 2TB on sale in Canada, I recommend checking the following retailers, as prices for SSDs fluctuate frequently due to sales and stock:

    1. PCPartPicker Canada: This is your best tool. It aggregates prices from multiple Canadian retailers (like Canada Computers, Memory Express, Amazon.ca, etc.) and will show you exactly which one is currently the cheapest.
    2. Canada Computers: Often runs sales on NVMe drives.
    3. Amazon.ca: Frequently has competitive pricing, especially during Prime Day or seasonal sales.

    Pro-tip: When checking, ensure you are looking at the 2TB model specifically, as the 1TB and 4TB versions are often listed in the same search results. Always check if the price includes shipping to your location in Canada.

    Based on my search, I found the WD Black SN850X 2TB NVMe SSD at several Canadian retailers. Here are the current prices:

    Price Comparison:

    Retailer Price Condition Shipping
    Newegg.ca $499.97 New FREE
    Amazon.ca $503.47 New FREE
    Canada Computers $683.99 Open Box FREE
    Canada Computers $759.99 New FREE
    Newegg.ca (other sellers) $549.99 New FREE

    Best Deal: Newegg.ca - $499.97

    The cheapest option is Newegg.ca at $499.97 with free shipping. This is sold directly by Newegg with their standard return policy.

    Product Details:

    • Model: WD_BLACK SN850X 2TB NVMe SSD (WDS200T2X0E)
    • Interface: PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe
    • Form Factor: M.2 2280
    • Max Read Speed: Up to 7,300 MB/s
    • Max Write Speed: Up to 6,600 MB/s
    • Warranty: 5-year limited warranty

    Other Considerations:

    • If you’re comfortable with open box items, Canada Computers has it for $683.99 (but this is still more expensive than Newegg)
    • All prices are in CAD and include free shipping

    Newegg.ca appears to have the best current deal for a brand new WD SN850X 2TB SSD in Canada. Prices can change quickly, so I recommend checking the site directly for the most up-to-date pricing.
