About this deal

Built for sustained, pro-level gaming and accelerated content creation with transfer speeds up to 2× faster than PCIe Gen3 NVMe SSDs and up to 12× faster than SATA SSDs. In this case, even just a 1TB storage expansion would go a long way in allowing you to keep the games around that you regularly go back to, whether it’s something like Destiny 2 or just a single-player PS5 showcase you love to be able to show off to people. As for the competition, Seagate’s pricing does seem to be fairly in line with a few off-brand exceptions that are much lower but also come without a heatsink. According to Seagate, this helps dissipate heat which in turn helps minimize thermal throttling and maximizes performance.
