Our top SSD pick is the cheapest it’s been
Anyone who’s seen our guide to thebest early Black Friday SSD dealswill know there are serious savings to be had on the WD Blue SN550. Now, though, the newer and even fasterWD Blue SN570has been throughly Black Friday’d as well, hitting new price lows in both the UK and US.
Here in Blightyland, both the 500GB and 1TB models get money off, with a slightly better discount on the latter pushing it below £80 for the first time. The Blue SN570 was already a nice and affordable PCIe 3.0 SSD, and this deal makes it an even more attainable upgrade on creaking mechanical HDDs.
Meanwhile, over on Amazon US, the 250GB, 500GB and 1TB models are all on sale:
Update - in a moment of Black Friday-induced madness these links previously went to the SN550. Sorry! These are now fixed.
For reference, the 1TB SN570 was £93 when I reviewed it just last month, so these are no half-baked deals even when it was (relatively speaking) so cheap in the first place. But don’t think that because you’re paying budget prices, you’ll get budget performance: the biggest reason why the SN570 sits atop ourbest SSD for gamingrankings is that it can compete with the fastest PCIe 3.0 drives out there.
