This drive retails for $90 and we rarely see it for less than $85, so this easily the best price we’ve ever seen.

The Samsung 970 drive uses the speedier NVMe interface making this a great choice for a boot drive, and if you’re a gamer there’ll be enough room for a few games too. We mentioned it as an “excellent alternative” in our best SSDs roundup.

We gave this drive 4 stars out of 5 in our review and praised it for its speed, affordability, and TeraBytes Written rating.
