Whether you\u2019re doing your gaming on a PC or PlayStation, storage is always at a premium. But today, that premium is definitely a little more reasonable. Currently, the Samsung 990 Pro and the WD_Black SN850, two of the best SSDs available, are matching their lowest price ever. The 1 TB model of the Samsung 990 Pro is discounted to $99.99 at Samsung<\/a> (was $174.99), while the 2 TB version<\/a> is on sale for $159.99 (was $264.99). The 990 Pro is equipped with a built-in heatsink, making it the ideal option for giving your PlayStation a little extra real estate.<\/p>\n

However, if you\u2019ve purchased a third-party heatsink or your desktop has a motherboard with a heatsink built in, the SN850X is a slightly more affordable option that offers similar performance to the 990 Pro, but without an integrated heatsink. The 1 TB model is available on Amazon<\/a> for just $74.99 (was $93.99), while the 2 TB model<\/a> is discounted to $139.99 (was $189.99). The 2 TB model is also a great option for doubling the storage of the Asus ROG Ally X, which has a motherboard that’s compatible with 2280 SSDs. However, you\u2019ll need to purchase a low-profile heatsink<\/a> to ensure optimal performance.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve already expanded the storage on your gaming devices or used up all of your available slots, SSD Storage this cheap also opens up some interesting opportunities. For instance, you can easily transform any M.2 SSD into an ultra-fast flash drive with an inexpensive SSD enclosure<\/a>, or use a desktop SSD dock<\/a> to quickly migrate data. <\/p>\n
