If you have been following Neowin for the last month and a half or so, you may have noticed that solid state drive (SSD) prices have been dropped by a lot, and when we say a lot, we really mean it. Except for the latest PCIe Gen5 ones, which are also pretty rare nowadays anyway, most of the previous gen NVMe SSDs, as well as external portable drives, have dropped in prices. Hence, it is no surprise to see that this weekend we have some fantastic new deals on SSDs alongside the ones we already covered.
The deals are in the form of the Crucial P3 Plus, which has now dropped following the price-drop of the better P5 Plus model (this is by far the best PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD deal). Alongside this, the Samsung 980 Pro has also dropped with the model with heatsink now being only $10 more than the one without. You can get these below. Do keep in mind that these deals are in addition to ones we posted yesterday so make sure you check out all options and before making a purchase:
- 2TB Samsung 980 Pro with heatsink (PCIe 4.0, TLC NAND, 2GB LPDDR4, up to 7,000MB/s): $179.99 (Newegg US) ; $179.99 (Amazon US)
- 2TB Solidigm P41 Plus (PCIe 4.0, QLC NAND, no DRAM cache and relies on host memory buffer, up to 4,125MB/s): $109.99 + $15 off w/ promo code SSCQA926, limited offer (Newegg US) **[Best value deal]**
Aside from NAND-based drives, mechanical hard disk drives (HDDs), mainly CMR ones that are great for heavy-duty usage, have also fallen in prices.
If these don"t interest you, you can also browse through Amazon US, Newegg US, or Amazon UK to see if you find some great deals that we missed. You can also visit the Deals section of our articles to see if there"s something you fancy.
