Save big with this Samsung SSD deal for PC and PS5
We’re always on the lookout for an SSD deal that’s too good to be true, and we might have found it on Amazon as the Samsung 990 Pro series is up to 41% off right now.
We’ve picked out the Samsung 980 series as some of the best SSDs for gaming you can buy, and the 990 Pro, on paper, is a step above. With read speeds of up to 7,450MB/s and write speeds of 6,900MB/s, you’ll be looking for a very long time to find an SSD to match the value on offer with this deal.

Replace *all* of your HDDs with this massive 8TB Samsung 870 Qvo SSD
Samsung’s 870 Qvo SSD is one of the best options for high-capacity solid state storage, with a simple 2.5-inch form factor that doesn’t take up a valuable M.2 or PCIe slot and a fast-enough SATA connection. While performance is good, at up to 550MB/s for reads and a little less for writes, the real benefit here is having up to 8TB of silent, reliable and low latency storage.
You can currently pick up this RPS-recommended gaming SSD in its ultimate 8TB form for less than £415 from two places in the UK: Tech Next Day, where you can use code TND-10 to get it for £414, and Amazon, where you can get the drive for £412. I’ve included both options in case you have a preference, and in the event the drive goes out of stock at this reduced price by the time you come to click the links below!
Crucial’s T700 PCIe 5.0 SSD can throttle to HDD speeds without a cooler
ComputerBase’s recent tests of Crucial’s T700 and Corsair’s MP700 NVMe SSDs could further convince consumers that they should strongly consider paying extra for the heatsinks retailers offer with new drives. Their impressive read speeds, normally sitting in the neighborhood of 10GBps, completely evaporate if the SSDs get too hot.
