There's never been a better time to grab a 2TB SSD

The latest SSDs are capable of serving up incredible performance, make no mistake, but they tend to come with price eye-watering price tags. Especially at the top end. The good news is that the Memorial Day sales have seen those prices drop down to much more tempting levels—the very latest 2TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs are down to just $200(opens in new tab). Making this a great time to upgrade your gaming PC's storage options. 

That $200 drive is none other than Western Digital's most recent offering, the WD_Black SN770(opens in new tab). This is a DRAM-less drive, so doesn't quite hit the peak sequential figures of some of the best drives, but it absolutely delivers when it comes to real-world performance, and that's what really matters. 

The only thing we don't know right now is whether it offers enough performance for Microsoft's DirectStorage, which could see games load in just one second(opens in new tab), but that's something that's true of all the drives that are out there right now.

WD Black SN770 | 2TB | PCIe 4.0 | 5,150MB/s read | 4,850MB/s write | $269.99$199.99 at Best Buy (save $70)(opens in new tab)Western Digital has cut the DRAM cache to make for a better value proposition with this drive, and the end result is a surprisingly speedy SSD that rolls in for significantly less than the competition. 2TB for just $200? That's going to be very hard to beat.

It isn't just this DRAM-less drive that is seeing great savings either, with its bigger, more performant brother, the WD_Black SN850(opens in new tab) also seeing its lowest price yet at $236(opens in new tab) for the 2TB spin. 

This is our favorite PCIe 4.0 SSD of this generation, offering solid synthetic performance and the best real-world performance we've seen
