Amazon UK have added some more great SSD deals to their Gaming Week sale today, with new low prices to be found on three of Samsung s best SSDs for gaming. Chief among them is the 1TB 860 Qvo, Samsung s budget-friendly high capacity SSD that s dropped to a record low of just £70, making it almost as good as yesterday s (sadly now defunct) Crucial MX500 deal.
The Samsung 860 Qvo is a great SATA SSD, offering fast read and write speeds without costing an absolute fortune like a lot of other 1TB drives out there at the moment. The reason behind its low price is that it uses a slightly different type of storage cell tech to Samsung s even nippier 860 Evo drive, but its performance is still top notch. In fact, in my benchmark tests, the 860 Qvo actually came in with faster write speeds than its Evo counterpart, all at a much lower cost. It s a great value drive, and today s new record low price makes it an even greater buy than ever bef
Plus, Dirt 5, Watch Dogs: Legion and Balan Wonderworld are at their lowest prices yet. Updated on 12 May 2021
Amazon kicked off its Gaming Week promotion with some great offers on HDDs, SSDs, laptops and PC accessories yesterday. To keep the momentum moving, a decent selection of the latest titles including Dirt 5, Watch Dogs Legion, Immortals Fenyx Rising and the not-so-decent Balan Wonderworld have now been added to the sale. If we put the obvious borrowings from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to one side, Immortals Fenyx Rising is a genuinely enjoyable experience, even if it does suffer from the same repetitive bite of Ubisoft games. Donlan called it a skilful, lovingly made product, in his review, and, in our opinion, it s well worth checking out.

A couple of weeks ago, the 1TB model of the excellent Crucial MX500 SSD hit a new all-time low price of £67 in the UK. Alas, the deal lasted all of twenty seconds before it shot back up to its usual price of around £84. Thankfully, this cut-price SSD deal has now resurfaced thanks to Amazon UK s big gaming week sale, giving you another chance to pick up this nippy SATA drive for the same low price of £67.
The Crucial MX500 is one of the best and cheapest SSDs for gaming around right now, and today s deal price cements its position at the wallet-friendly end of the scale even further. £67 is a great price for a 1TB SSD like this, as many of its rivals such as the Samsung 860 Evo will still set you back close to £100 for a 1TB version, which is over £30 more than today s MX500 price. Even the 1TB version of my favourite cheap NVMe drive, the WD Blue SN550, still goes for at least £84 these days (which itself is also pretty barga
