SSD pricing is so ludicrously low that one of the best PS5-compatible 2TB drives is just $110
Silicon Power XS70 | 2TB | PCIe 4.0 | Read: 7,300 MB/s | Write: 6,800 MB/s | $114.99$109.99 at Newegg (save $5)When we reviewed the 2TB XS70 a year ago it was retailing for $240, and we thought that was a pretty decent price for a large SSD that was about as fast as the PCIe 4.0 interface would allow.

The prices of SSDs has been steadily dropping, but this is outrageously good for a fast 2TB drive. Even at its original $240 price last year it was a great PCIe 4.0 SSD.
In our Silicon Power XS70 2TB review our Chris noted that, while it doesn't come with any hardware encryption or extra software, it's an excellent option for a PC gamer just
