A historic low price for a blazing-fast PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD.
WD’s SN770 SSD is one of the very best value options on the market, combining a PCIe 4.0 interface, sequential read speeds up to 5150MB/s and an aggressive pricing strategy that makes it extremely affordable to add to your PC or PS5. Today this drive has dropped to a new low on Amazon UK, where a 1TB model will cost you £43.99 and the 2TB size is just £99.98. Either way, you’re getting a great value SSD that performs impressively for gaming.
TheRock Paper Shotgun SN770 reviewis sensibly required reading for anyone considering this drive, but I’ll post an extract here to give you a flavour of this TLC DRAM-less drive’s real-world performance:
That review ends by bemoaning the pricing of the drive - can you believe that this SSD used to cost £144 for a 1TB model, and now it’s £100 below RRP?! Given this steep reduction, the SN770 is an obviously excellent choice, and I’d encourage you to pick one up if you’re in the market for more gaming storage.
In the meantime, I’ll be petitioning James to add the SN770 to the big list ofrecommended RPS gaming SSDs- after all, with the significantly slower SN570 ranked first in that article costing £39.95, I think it’s time to give the SN770 its due.
