Not all of these are currently sale prices, just the lowest price you can get them for right now. Prices may have been lower in the recent past, but again, we don’t know if they will go down anytime soon.
4TB is the ideal capacity for most people. While you can get by with 2TB or 1TB in a pinch, 4TB gives you plenty of room for games, video files and photos.
Most of these SSDs use the PCIe 4.0 interface and are good for both PS5 and laptop upgrades. If you’re willing to spend more money for performance, the Crucial T705 is a solid price at$389 for 4TB. Probably the best balance between performance and price is theSamsung 990 Evo for $245.
