I’ve hit the install cap on my storage drive more times than I’ve rage-quit in Apex. At some point, deleting a 90GB game just to download another becomes a sad cycle of SSD suffering. So yeah, when a bunch of top-tier M.2 drives go on sale, I pay attention. Amazon’s Spring Sale has been great for PC gaming deals, but it’s also the last day of the sale as well, so don’t delay on these latest price drops.

If you’ve been squeezing games into a drive like it’s a suitcase on holiday, now’s the time to stop the madness. These gaming SSD deals are genuinely solid. Fast reads, even faster writes, and better compatibility than some of my Steam Deck accessories. Here’s what I’d grab right now before prices snap back to full send.
Want it all? 7450 MB/s read speeds and AES 256-bit encryption means this is built for high-end gaming rigs, workstations, and people who want to flex their storage size without compromise. I think it’s pricey, but absolutely worth it if you’re done playing small.
If you’re upgrading your Steam Deck or ROG Ally, this is the one I’d pick. The 2230 form factor fits snug, it runs fast enough with 2,000 MB/s reads, and doesn’t scream for power. It’s not Gen4, but let’s be honest, your handheld probably won’t care. I think it’s a practical upgrade with zero drama.
I love this one for budget PC or PS5 upgrades. It hits insane Gen4 speeds up to 7300MB/s, and it does it with a graphene heat spreader that’s as cool as it sounds. Literally. It’s fast, reliable, and priced like someone made a mistake.
Honestly, I don’t know why this is almost half off, but I’m not asking questions. You get 7300/6800 MB/s speeds, full PS5 compatibility, and even a free month of Adobe Creative Cloud. That’s wild. This one just makes sense.
Steam Deck users, this is your sleeper hit. The 2230 form factor makes it handheld-friendly, and the 2TB capacity means I don’t have to uninstall Baldur’s Gate just to install Call of Duty. It’s Gen4 too, so speeds are excellent without being overkill.
