Be it for faster system boot times, quicker software load times or boosted file transfer rates; there are many reasons to invest in fast storage for your PC. This is now especially true for gamers, as new consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S have brought gaming into the SSD era, and games will start to take advantage of these ultra-fast storage mediums.

Following their Samsung 980 Pro price cut , Samsung's 980 (non-Pro) 1TB SSD has also seen a major price reduction. Now, Samsung's ultra-fast 1TB PCIe 3.0 M.2 SSD is available for £84.99 , an incredibly low price for an M.2 SSD that's capable of transfer rates of up to 3,500 MB/s.

While Samsung's 980 SSD is a DRAMless PCIe 3.0 SSD, it can deliver incredibly high performance levels given its pricing, making it very suitable for a broad range of applications. Not all PCs need top-tier PCIe 4.0 storage, and for £84.99 , the Samsung 980 delivers an excellent balance between pricing and performance.

If you want a 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD on a budget, Samsung's 980 SSD is an excellent option. It may not be the fastest on the market, but for £84.99 , it is more than fast enough for all mainstream use cases.
