Save up to $100 on these top Samsung SSDs for PS5 and PC
Cheapest ever prices for the 980 Pro with heatsink
Samsung has just launched a ton of great SSD deals today - including some of the cheapest prices we've ever seen for some of the best drives you can buy for either your PC or PS5.
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 this 1TB 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. This M.2 SSD is 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 traditional SATA SSD.
For those of you after the best PS5 SSD, then it's worth paying the extra $20 to get the 1TB Samsung 980 Pro (Heatsink) for $189.99. A heatsink is a requirement for any SSD installed in a PS5 to keep it cool while in use. 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. Again, the discount brings them down to their lowest ever prices - so definitely not ones to miss if you have the extra cash.
