Black Friday may be over for 2024, but there are still plenty of deals and discounts to unearth if you know where to look.

Fuel your system performance with Crucial T500 Gen4 NVMe SSD.
Over on Amazon UK, the cost of Crucial T500 4TB is down by 11% (£30.15) to £232.99. Meanwhile, the same drive is $291.99 in the US. Better still, the heatsink version isn’t much more expensive at £257.99 / $301.99. Regardless of the region or variant, though, the SSD is currently at its lowest ever price.
Crucial T500 pushes up against the bandwidth limits of its PCIe Gen 4 x4 interface, delivering respective sequential write and read speeds of up to 6,900MB/s and 7,000MB/s. Combine these specifications with this model’s 4TB of storage, and you have a speedy and spacious solid-state drive capable of handling whatever game you install on it.
Note that you’ll need a compatible motherboard with a PCIe Gen 4 x4 slot to make the most out of Crucial T500 4TB’s capabilities. If you’re rocking an older board with PCIe Gen 3 x4 headers, the drive will still work but run at about half the speed.
This SSD does run on the hotter side, so slotting the barefaced version of Crucial T500 underneath your motherboard’s M.2 heatsinks is a must. Of course, you can plug and play without a second thought if you opt for the built-in heatsink model. Doing so also comes with the added bonus of PlayStation 5 compatibility.
Speaking from experience, the last thing you want in your PC is an unreliable SSD. Thankfully, with an endurance rating of 2,400TB and a five-year warranty, you can be safe in the knowledge that your data is in good hands with Crucial T500.
