Recently, PC games have been gorging themselves silly on our storage space. 160GB forS.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2? 190GB forGod of War Ragnarok? If these games were people they’d stand waiting at the Pizza Hut buffet and nab ten of the twelve slices of Pepperoni Feast as soon as they’re slid under the heatlamps. What to do? For our part, there’s little wecando except upgrade capacity, and there are few better ways to do that on a budget than with the WD Blue SN580. It’s a cheap yet fast PCIe 4.0 SSD, which theBlack Fridaysales have knocked down to £47 / $55 for 1TB.
I had this on ourbest SSDslist for ages, only recently replacing it with the newer Blue SN5000, and even that doesn’t have quite the sheer thrift appeal as the Blue SN850 had. And still does, evidently. Not only is this an affordable SSD, it’s also a relatively nippy one for its price class, so will still provide the kind of cut-down load times you’d want and expect from solid state storage. In both the UK and US, the 1TB model has also been slashed to its lowest prices since October 2023.
