The Crucial T500 outduels both the Samsung 990 Pro and WD SN850x.
The Crucial T500 is our current recommendation for the ‘best high-end PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD for gaming’, a title it earns through exceptional performance and a more reasonable price than competitors like the Samsung 990 Pro and WD SN850x - no mean feat!
Right now there’s a great deal on the 2TB version of the T500 at Amazon UK, where you can get this size for just £130 when you use a £10 voucher. This price also includes one month’s worth of access to all Adobe Creative Cloud apps, like Photoshop, Lightroom and Premiere Pro (worth £34).
James' write-up of the T500 is well worth reading, so let me reproduce an excerpt here:
With results like these, who am I to argue? And with the SN850x 2TB at £146 right now, the Crucial T500 is actually the better value option too! You can even use this drive in the PS5, though I’d recommend picking up acheap NVMe heatsinkto match Sony’s recommendations. All in all, highly recommended.
