Just last week, we reported on price increases of up to 10% on SSDs, so as hardware editor here at TechRadar Pro, I've been keen to find savings where I can for anyone building or upgrading a PC.

One of the best deals I've seen is the on the WD_Black SN7100 4TB internal SSD, which is now $590 (was $1380). That's even cheaper than it was a month ago (then, it was priced at $626). Alongside the 4TB model, I'm also seeing discounts on the 1TB SSD, now $190 (was $375) and the 2TB version, now $350 (was $690).
