In a PS5 SSD deal field that’s been largely barren for months, we finally have a decent price on a top drive that offers good value for money and is worth jumping on now.
TheSamsung980 Pro 2TB drive is down to$149.99 at Amazonright now (was $170). It’s not a huge discount in and of itself, but the value is strong, and the price point is worthy of highlighting.
That’s because, while it’s not the lowest-ever price we’ve seen on the drive - that was $99.99 back in last summer’s Prime Day sales and something we’ve not seen since - it is the lowest price since Christmas time. As a result, and the fact that this is 2TB of high-end, quality PS5 SSD, we would still recommend the drive at this price and say that it offers pretty good value for money. At $75 per terabyte, this is an attractive offer.
