Samsung SSD prices just keep on falling in Amazon’s Black Friday SSD deals
Happy Black Friday week fellow deals hunters, and boy do I have some fresh SSD deals for you this morning. Hot off the back of Amazon's pre-Black Friday sale at the beginning of last week, the Samsung 970 Evo Plus and the portable Samsung T5 SSD are now even cheaper than they were a couple of days ago.

Crucial’s P1 is a great value NVMe SSD, but it’s not without its faults
Super fast NVMe SSDs are still pretty pricey compared to your standard SATA drives, but thankfully there's a growing number of budget NVMe SSDs that are starting to bring those lighting fast read and write speeds to the masses. I've already tested the excellent value for money WD Blue SN500 and Adata XPG SX6000 Pro, but now I've got the Crucial P1 in for testing,…
Red Dead 2’s PC requirements are gonna put a bullet in your SSD
Rockstar have quietly added the PC requirements for Red Dead Redemption 2 to the game's Rockstar Launcher page. The good news? It's not going to murder your PC. The bad news? It will absolutely gobble up your PC's storage banks, as it's currently recommending you keep at least 150GB set aside for it. I know it's a big game and all, but that's another 50GB…
Get Ghost Recon Breakpoint for free when you buy a Samsung SSD
If you were thinking about upgrading your PC's storage banks any time soon, then you may want to consider getting a new Samsung SSD. Aside from the fact that they're some of the [block id="604473" title="Best gaming SSD"]s around, UK buyers can now get a free copy of Ghost Recon Breakpoint with it until November 13th 2019 when you buy selected models. Ironic, really, considering…
WD Black adds five new external storage drives, including 2TB SuperSpeed SSD
WD's Black range of gaming SSDs just got a little bit bigger today, as they've announced five new external storage devices that will sit alongside their flagship Black SN750 NVMe SSD. Four of them are traditional hard drive disks, or HDDs (more on those in a sec), but the one I'm most interested in is the WD Black P50, an external SSD that has, and…

Gigabyte Aorus NVMe Gen 4 review: The first PCIe 4.0 SSD has arrived
One of the big attractions of choosing a new AMD Ryzen 3000 build at the moment is the fact it supports the new, super fast PCIe 4.0 standard. You'll need to pair your new 3rd Gen Ryzen CPU with one of AMD's equally new (not to mention expensive) X570 motherboards to make use of it, of course, but the potential benefits are massive - particularly…
Feature: Bolt from the blue
SSD prices may have been falling over recent months, but adding a super fast NVMe SSD to your PC is still one heck of an expensive upgrade, especially if you're after something like our [block id="604473" title="Best gaming SSD"] champion, the Samsung 970 Evo. A 250GB stick of Evo goodness will set you back around £80 / $85 these days, with prices pretty much doubling…
Have Anthem’s loading times been improved by the Day One patch?
Anthem's Day One (minus two) patch has finally arrived, with one of the big 'High Level' fixes being its atrocious loading times, specifically when it comes to what Bioware refer to as 'older disk drives'. But how much have they actually improved by? Well, I've gone and re-tested the same HDD, SSD and NVMe SSD I tried on Tuesday to see what's what.
We put Anthem’s loading times to the test: HDD vs SSD vs NVMe
Anthem doesn't technically come out until February 22, but those who pre-ordered the game have been jumping around Bioware's futuristic Iron Man fantasy since Friday - or at least some of them have, as a lot of people haven't been able to get past the game's interminably long loading screens. Indeed, sometimes the game takes so long to load that you're too far behind the…
Feature: A Pro-perly brilliant gaming SSD
When I tested Adata's XPG SX6000 Pro SSD at the end of last year, I called it a tempting budget alternative to some of our [block id="604473" title="Best gaming SSD"] champions such as the Samsung 970 Evo and WD Black 3D. The same could also be said of Adata's new XPG SX82000 Pro, which is more upmarket than its SX6000 Pro sibling with its claimed…
Feature:
The Samsung 970 Evo has been my [block id="604473" title="Best gaming SSD"] recommendation under £200 for quite some time now. By far the fastest and best value for money NVMe SSD you can buy right now, it's comfortably seen off competition from the new WD Black SN750, the old WD Black and Adata's XPG SX6000 Pro. But what happens when you take all that 970…

WD Black SN750 review: So close to the Samsung 970 Evo, yet so far
For reasons I cannot fathom and that are probably lost to the bowels of their marketing department, Western Digital have decided their high-performance Black line of NVMe SSDs were in need of a face lift for 2019, because apparently gum stick-sized storage drives don't look 'gamer-y' enough already. The result of their somewhat baffling nip and tuck is the Black SN750, which I think you'll…

Samsung 860 Qvo review: A fast, high-capacity SSD that’s excellent value
Black Friday and sales madness aside, high capacity SSDs still cost an absolute fortune. It's the main reason why so many of us still opt for small 250-500GB SSDs as our primary drive, and make do with larger, slower HDDs for storing big things like games and photos. Samsung's brand-new 860 Qvo, however, hopes to change all that by offering jumbo storage pockets at a…
