Score Big Savings on Top SSDs for PC and PlayStation 5

The prices of solid-state drives (SSDs) have reached their lowest point ever, making it an excellent time to buy an SSD for your PC or PlayStation 5 (PS5). Major chip manufacturers like Samsung are overstocked with inventory, leading to significant price drops. Popular SSDs like the Samsung 980 Pro and 990 Pro have seen price reductions of up to 60% since last year. Other brands like Western Digital and Adata are also offering discounted SSDs. The falling prices provide an opportunity for gamers and PC builders to expand their storage capacity and avoid constantly deleting games to make room for new ones.

Western Digital Launches Affordable Xbox Series X/S Storage Expansion Cards.

Western Digital has released a new line of WD Black C50 expansion cards for Xbox Series X/S, starting at $80 for a 500GB model, $10 less than Seagate's equivalent. These proprietary add-ons are required to add space for ready-to-play Xbox Series X/S games, which require solid-state drive cards as quick as the console's built-in SSD. While still costlier than NVMe SSDs for PlayStation 5, the price gap is now small enough that the storage format probably won't affect your choice of system.
