How often have you found yourself running out of space for a new game or for that video editing project you’ve been working on? If you’re like me, it happens annoyingly often, which means I’m frequently scouring SSD deals to find a cheap way to add more storage. Right now, you can buy the Crucial T710 2TB NVMe SSD at Amazon for £189.99 (was £249.99) this Black Friday, which is the lowest price it’s ever been.
The standard Crucial T710 2TB NVMe SSD is best for PC upgrades. If you want to upgrade your PS5’s storage, check out the Crucial T710 2TB NVMe SSD Heatsink for £186.99 (was £219.99). In either case, you get fast read/write speeds up to 14,500/13,800 MB/s, so this is a reliable upgrade, whatever your plans.
Today’s best NVMe SSD deal
Crucial T710 2TB NVMe SSD: was £249.99 now £189.99 at AmazonThe Crucial T710 2TB NVMe SSD offers great speeds thanks to its PCIe 5.0 compatibility which is good news for anyone conducting video editing projects or just wanting faster loading times when playing games. Its power-efficient architecture runs cooler and consumes almost 25% less power than the previous Crucial Gen5 SSDs which is useful news too. It’s a highly competent SSD that’s simple to install.
View DealCrucial has been making SSDs and other hardware like RAM for many years. It may not be a brand currently among the best SSDs but it’s still a reliable option.
With speedy sequential reads/writes of 14,900MB/s and 13,800MB/s, and random reads/writes of 2.2M/2.3M, it’ll cut down on loading times nicely. If you’re considering buying the heatsink model to add to your PS5, it’ll be similarly convenient when loading new games.
If such an upgrade sounds intimidating, don’t worry. It’s very simple to learn how to install a PS5 SSD - and I’ve done it myself. When I did it, it only took me around 10 minutes, and I was impressed at how easy it was to do. Storage is something we all end up needing more of over time and the Crucial T710 is a great solution to that problem.
If you’d prefer the simplicity and portability of an external solution, take a look at the best external hard drives around at the moment. If you need an even bigger upgrade, it might be time to eye up the gaming PC deals going on right now. There are some great discounts around.
