SSD Deals Alert – SSD prices are dropping

Back in February, it was common to purchase a 500GB SSD for around £120 in the UK. Such pricing was typical for the time, with high demand for NAND offsetting the increased productivity offered by modern 3D NAND manufacturing techniques. 

For the past few years, SSD pricing has remained stagnant, but this is thankfully starting to change, with 480GB drives now being available for as little as £67, delivering consumers a lot more value for money than was possible this time last year. 

Today, we have found that 120GB SSDs are now available for as little as £23, with 240GB models shipping for around £37, while 480GB models ship for £67. While these SSDs are not flagships models within the SATA SSD market, they are more than enough to outperform any mechanical hard drive, acting as a great budget boot drive or as a small secondary games storage solution.  

Below we will list three SSD models, as well as their pricing for their 120GB, 240GB and 480GB models, with larger 960GB offering coming with an increase in cost/GB. 

– Kingston SA400 (120GB £22.96)(240GB £36.99)(480GB £68.99)
– SanDisk SSD PLUS (120GB £26.57)(240GB £38.49)(480GB £67.98)
– Crucial BX500 (120GB £23.99)(240GB £39.59)(480GB £67.19)
