Thankfully, we've found a deal on at least 1TB. You can get the Crucial P310 1TB Internal SSD PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe M.2 at Best Buy for $149.99 (was $249.99) .

Just this year, one of our writers included the Crucial P310 1TB as the cheapest option in his top 3 SSDs to buy before the RAM shortage pushes
prices even higher than they already are. At the time, it was priced at
nearly $100 on Amazon . The Crucial P310 1TB retails for more than double
that price, so it's already a blessing to see it $100 off in this current market climate. Today's best 1TB SSD deal Crucial P310 1TB NVMe SSD: was $249.99 now $149.99 at Best Buy The Crucial P310 1TB SSD for $100 off is one of the better deals we've seen during the ongoing RAM crisis. It features modest specs like maximum read speeds up to 7100 MB/s, maximum write speeds
up to 6000 MB/s, and an SSD endurance up to 220 terabytes that should be reliable enough for most gaming needs. No heatsink, though, so keep that in mind. View Deal Crucial is a reputable brand for SSDs. Even though the larger 2TB and 4TB options are currently out of stock, 1TB is more than enough for a modest PC gaming library or even for expanding storage on your PS5. Not all SSDs are made equal just based on the storage capacity, though. The Crucial P310 1TB supports up to a 7100 MB/s max read speed and 6000 MB/s max write speed, and a 220-terabyte quoted SSD endurance, which aren't particularly
high but aren't low enough to ignore entirely. This is a PCIe Gen 4x4. (If
you don't know what that means, read our explainer on what makes the best
PCIe NVMe SSD .)

That said, this variant doesn't have a heatsink. That should be a dealbreaker for those who value cooling features and extending the longevity of their gaming PCs and consoles for as long as possible. The Crucial P310 1TB does come with a limited 5-year warranty, but you'll need to read the fine print
to confirm what's included. Overall, the Crucial P310 1TB is a good choice if you need something cheap and don't want to wait out the RAM shortage. If you don't mind waiting, bookmark our best SSDs and hold out for a discount. If
you want SSDs that will definitely work with PS5, browse our best SSDs for
