Just got another Crucial one for the wife’s PC. Was like £95, but that is PCI-E 4.0 rather than the Evo 970’s PCI-E 3.0.
Won’t make a jot of difference for what she does, but nice to have it in case gaming actually uses that extra speed in the future. I don’t even think most PS5 games make use of the extra speed right now. Certainly nothing that shows up in loading benchmarks, but I suspect when it does show itself it will be from single frame hitches where it’s loading things on the fly.
A 2TB SSD can be had for like £100. I even put one in my PS5.
Less. I got a Crucial 2tb for £70 a couple of weeks ago. 5000mb/s too
Edit: Samsung Evo 970 is actually £73 on Amazon right now for 2TB
