While HDDs are great for large amounts of storage at a relatively cheap price, they can’t compete with SSDs when it comes to read and write speeds. This goes for both gaming PCs and gaming laptops since internal SSDs are small enough to fit in either and offer some pretty fast speeds and load times. They can be a bit pricey, though, especially if you want something with a larger amount of storage, which is why we’ve gone out and collected a few of our favorite SSD deals for you below, including some of the best SSDs on the market.
Also, if you’re in the middle of buying a new computer or upgrading an older one, you should also check out these RAM deals and GPU deals as well. If you need something that can swap between multiple devices, you can also check out these external hard drive deals.
Our favorite SSD deal
If you’re looking for something that’s top-of-the-line and won’t break the bank, then the Samsung 990 PRO is probably the way to go. It has the newer PCIe 4.0 standard, which makes it a great PS5 SSD if you can get it a heatsink, and it has a read speed of 7450 Mbps and a write speed of 6900 Mbps, so it’s lightning fast. The 2TB model has been discounted to $170 from the original $200, so you’re saving a pretty solid $30 in the process. There is a 1TB version that’s cheaper if you don’t think you need that much, as well as a 2TB model if you need a little bit extra.
More SSD deals we like
Of course, if the Samsung 990 PRO isn’t quite what you’re looking for, there are some other great options you can take advantage of, such as the 980 Pro, which is just one step down and still a pretty good way to go. Of course, there are more budget-friendly options as well if you want to upgrade from an HDD and don’t need the fastest speeds possible. Obviously, the smaller capacity you have, the less it’s going to cost, so if you know you don’t need a lot of storage space, it’s worth going for a smaller size.
