Anyone who watched our guide to Best Black Friday early SSD deals will know there are substantial savings on the WD Blue SN550. However, now, newer and even faster WD Blue SN570 also experienced Black Friday, hitting new lows in both the UK and US.
Here in Blightyland, both the 500GB and 1TB models are on sale, with a slightly better discount on the latter pushing it below £80 the first time around. The Blue SN570 is already a nice and affordable PCIe 3.0 SSD, and this deal makes it an upgrade even achievable on squeaky mechanical hard drives.
Meanwhile, on Amazon US, the 500GB model isn’t on sale but is the smallest, cheapest 250GB version. There’s even a discounted 2TB model, a capacity that’s hard to find in the UK even at retail.
For reference, the 1TB SN570 was £93/$110 when I reviewed it just last month, so it’s not a half-deal even if it was (relatively speaking) too cheap in the first place. But don’t think that because you’re paying budget prices, you’ll get budget performance: the biggest reason why the SN570 is at the top Best SSD for gaming The ranking is that it can compete with the fastest PCIe 3.0 drives available.
It’s worth mentioning that the older SN550 is still on sale, with cheaper storage across the board, but what if it were me? I find it very, very hard not to be turned around by the newest, fastest installment in the WD Blue series.
