The highlights are undoubtedly the price cuts on the range of 980 Pro SSDs. These are some of Samsung’s top-of-the-line storage options that will give you lightning-fast performance in your PC or serve as an ideal PS5 SSD upgrade.
The best value SSD deal is this1TB Samsung 980 Pro for $169.99(was $229.99). That $60 saving is just $20 away from the lowest ever price for the high-performance SSD. ThisM.2 SSDis capable of read/write speeds of up to 7,000/5,100MB/s, which means you’ll be able to load games and applications much faster on your PC - up to 12.7 times faster than a traditionalSATA SSD.
For those of you after the best PS5 SSD, then it’s worth paying the extra $20 to get the1TB Samsung 980 Pro (Heatsink) for $189.99.

You can buy and attach one yourself to the cheaper drive, but when they can cost anywhere between $10-$20 separately, the easier option is to get one pre-installed and then it’s ready to go out the box.
Of course, 2TB versions of both of these Samsung SSDs are also available, so if you think you’re going to need more storage space they’re worth considering while you can save up to $100 on them.
