The type of memory you choose is a crucial factor that affects the performance of your PC in a huge way. With the rise of SSDs, transferring files, loading up games, and accessing huge folders have become much easier. If you’re still running an old HDD, there’s no better time to upgrade to an SSD than this Black Friday. Here are some of the best Black Friday SSD deals.
All the SSDs mentioned in this article (with a few exceptions) are 2TB storage variants. We believe 2TB is a sweet spot for storing all your files as well as gaming. If you think 2TB NVMe’s are overkill, other storage variants of all SSDs are also on sale, though they may not provide the same value for money. That said, budget buyers may lean toward 1TB and that’s fine because there are lots of 1TB SSDs on sale as well, albeit some of them are SATA SSDs.
Black Friday SSD Deals for Gaming and Storage
There are loads of great gaming SSD Black Friday deals in the market but only a few stand out. One of the best deals is the Samsung 990 Pro, which is a PCIe Gen 4 SSD. It’s now available for $249 $169, which makes it a great buy considering it’s the fastest SSD around. The WD Black SN850X is another excellent SSD that is on sale for $199 $132. Both the 990Pro and 850X come with a DRAM cache for faster and consistent transfer speeds. The Lexar and Black SN770 are DRAM-less, which is fine, but they may struggle during large file transfers.

Black Friday Affordable SSD Deals
Many looking for affordable SSDs look for something under $100 and for them, the Crucial P3 Plus 1TB is a decent option for $74 $64. Sure, it’s DRAM-less, but it’s an NVMe drive with decently fast file transfer speeds. For those who need consistent file transfer speeds, SATA drives with DRAM caches are desirable and still very relevant. Crucial MX500 and Samsung 870 Evo are two of the best SATA SSDs you can buy. They have DRAM and use TLC tech whereas the BX500, the cheapest drive on this list, uses QLC and doesn’t have DRAM, hence the price of $79 $59.
