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 bargain-tastic, if you’re after a great value NVMe drive), making the Crucial MX500 a veritable steal by comparison. Of course, a SATA drive like the Crucial MX500 isn’t going to be quite as fast as an NVMe SSD like the WD Blue SN550, but it’s still a huge step up from an old hard disk drive, and will make your games load much faster. It will also make Windows feel a lot more responsive if you decide to install your OS on there as well. So, if you’re in the market for a new SSD or just fancy getting another drive to beef up your PC’s storage banks, today’s Crucial MX500 is well worth snapping up. Hopefully it will stick around a bit longer than last time, but as always, there’s no telling when stocks will run dry and the price will return to normal.
