Whether you play on a PC or a PlayStation, storage is always at a premium. But today that premium is definitely a little more reasonable. Currently, the Samsung 990 Pro and WD_Black SN850, two of the best SSDs available, match their lowest price ever. The 1TB model of the Samsung 990 Pro is discounted to $99.99 at Samsung (was $174.99), while the 2TB version is on sale for $159.99 (was $264.99). The 990 Pro is equipped with a built-in heatsink, making it the ideal choice for giving your PlayStation a little extra space.
However, if you purchased a third-party heatsink or if your desktop has a motherboard with a built-in heatsink, the SN850X is a slightly more affordable option that offers similar performance to the 990 Pro, but without a heatsink. integrated heat. The 1TB model is available on Amazon for just $74.99 (was $93.99), while the 2TB model is discounted to $139.99 (was $189.99). The 2TB model is also a great option for doubling the storage of the Asus ROG Ally X, which has a 2280 SSD-compatible motherboard. However, you will need to purchase a low-profile heatsink to ensure optimal performance.
If you've already expanded the storage on your gaming devices or used up all the available slots, such affordable SSD storage also opens up some interesting opportunities. For example, you can easily transform any M.2 SSD into an ultra-fast flash drive with an affordable SSD enclosure or use a desktop SSD dock to quickly migrate data.
